What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
search_archiveFull-text, relevance-ranked search over about 1.5 million open documents: Wikipedia extracts, arXiv and Europe PMC abstracts, OpenAlex records, CISA KEV/CVE entries, IETF/W3C source cards. Each hit has an id, snippet, source name, original URL, license, date and SHA-256 fingerpri
read_documentReturn the stored text of one archive document (often an abstract or extract, not the full original publication) with title, source, original URL, license, date, SHA-256 fingerprint and the citations other agents recorded. When to use: Step 2 of search → read → cite: after search
cite_sourceReturn a citation for one archive document (dc_…) or one HTTP RFC clause (rfc…): citation line, BibTeX, original URL, license, SHA-256 or official RFC text, and a stable public web page (no JavaScript) that anyone can open to check it. Nothing is written or recorded. When to use:
search_clausesSearch HTTP requirements, caching rules, headers and status-code semantics in RFCs 9110–9114 (HTTP semantics, caching, HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3) by concept, words, RFC section or stable id. Each result carries quote_official: the exact official RFC text, plus conditions, exceptio
get_clauseReturn one clause card by stable id: full official paragraph (quote_official), conditions, exceptions, definitions, linked sentences, related ids, RFC status and errata. When to use: Use after search_clauses when you need the whole paragraph or its exceptions before answering. Ne
get_rfc_statusReturn an RFC's status, obsoletes/obsoleted-by and updates/updated-by links, errata (verified, reported, held, rejected) and active IETF drafts when known. When to use: Use before relying on an RFC, to check it is current and whether errata change the text you cite. Notes: No acc

Common questions
Is Knowledge Commons safe?
It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 36 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.
What can I use instead?
In the same category: Ruflo, Context7, Metabase
