Archive MCP — wraps the Internet Archive APIs (free, no auth)

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tools

ToolDescription
searchSearch Internet Archive for texts, audio, video, and software by keyword. Returns item titles, identifiers, descriptions, and media types.
get_metadataGet full metadata for an archived item by identifier. Returns title, creator, date, format, size, and access details.
wayback_checkCheck if a URL was archived and retrieve the closest snapshot. Returns capture dates and direct link to the archived version.
list_filesList the downloadable files for an archive.org item by identifier: name, format, size, and a constructed download_url. Use search / get_metadata first to find an identifier. (archive.org items, not Wayback snapshots.) Keyless.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "archive": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/archive/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Archive data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
