Internet Archive Mcp Server

Overview

Internet Archive Mcp Server is a Model Context Protocol server that lets you search the Wayback Machine and Internet Archive library containing over 40 million items. You can fetch snapshots, retrieve item metadata, and extract text directly through MCP, so AI assistants can access archived web content as callable tools without manual copy-pasting between applications.

The server runs locally via the npm package @cyanheads/internet-archive-mcp-server and communicates over stdio on your machine. No authentication is required—it works immediately after installation. The latest release is v0.1.4, distributed under the Apache-2.0 license with source code available at cyanheads/internet-archive-mcp-server on GitHub.

Internet Archive Mcp Server appears in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with all major MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim your listing to earn the Verified badge and keep information accurate.
