Narrative:

We operated into mfr. We were trying to find as much fleet information and guidance for the arrival into medford airport as possible. The information we did find in the jeppesen app was very limited: no night arrivals using visual or circling approaches; they are prohibited. Night landings on runway 32 are prohibited. Very limited and sparse info. We searched further in content locker under our fleet publications: mountain flying guide- nothing. Hot items- nothing. We searched the fom for any mfr guidance- nothing. Pilot bulletins inbound- nothing other than the departure. Also; the taxi 10-9 page didn't show the parking area for our arrival. I texted an [aircraft type] standards captain and asked where to find mfr info. He said check the mountain flying guide- nothing.we ended up deciding to shoot the ILS runway 14 and break it off to circle runway 32 west of the field. The weather was rain showers near the field and ceilings 4;000-6;000 variable with reduced visibility in rain; with winds favoring a runway 32 landing.some of the operational challenges that were presented were: sunset. Single runway. No night landings on runway 32. No FMC approaches into 32. Circling. Close high terrain. We very rarely circle in our flight operations. There is no close by; suitable alternate airport available. No ACARS ATIS available. Only ATIS on the radio until very close to field. Part time tower operations. Tailwind forecast for runway 14: alternate required. Overall; there should be more detailed and concise information for mfr operations; and it should be readily available and easy to find. As of right now; the [aircraft type] fleet is not supporting line crews adequately to operate into mfr with the highest level of safety. The needed information is scattered across multiple publications in difficult to find locations. Not at all helpful for line pilots.
