A Fortran Standards MCP Server

A developer released a new tool that lets Fortran programmers build and run their own local MCP server for querying Fortran Standards documents with GenAI coding assistants. The tool avoids ISO copyright concerns by not distributing a vector database of the standards directly; instead it provides instructions for creating the vector database from PDFs of whichever standard revisions a user has, configuring Claude Code to use the included MCP server, and a skill file to make agents more efficient at using it. The author is soliciting feedback and contributions.

Announcing a new tool available for those of you adopting GenAI coding tools. It would violate ISO copyright (I think) for me to distribute a vector database containing the contents of the Fortran Standards directly, but what I can do is give you the tools to create and run your own MCP server on your own machine with whichever revisions of the Fortran standard you have available to you. Instructions are provided for creating the needed vector database from pdfs of the standard, configuring claude code to use the included MCP server, and a skill file to make your agents more efficient at using it. I welcome any feedback or contributions if anybody has them.
