Revised IETF LLM Tools

[Mark Nottingham <[e-mail]>]

Hey all,

I've revised and renamed the tools below; it now includes a local MCP server. In my testing, it's pretty effective; you can chat away with a working group's corpus pretty to pretty good effect from eg Claude, OpenCode, etc.

  https://pypi.org/project/ietf-llm/

Still under development, but suggestions / issues welcome.

Cheers,

Although (of course) I can't trust it completely, I'm finding it's a very good way to interact with the 'memory' of a WG. In particular it can serve as 'another set of eyes' that doesn't have the biases that I may have.
