The Archive.org MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Archive.org account. It provides structured and secure access to archived content, Wayback captures, item records, usage analytics, and account tasks, so your agent can search collections, retrieve files, manage items, inspect activity, and handle reviews on your behalf.
- Content search and retrieval: Have your agent search Archive.org by keywords and metadata, inspect complete item records, and download public files.
- Wayback history research: Instruct your agent to find the closest archived version of a web page or list available captures for a website.
- Item and file management: Direct your agent to check identifier availability, upload, copy, or delete files, update item metadata, and request new derivatives.
- Images, manifests, and analytics: Let the agent inspect IIIF image details and manifests, render selected image regions, and review item views, history, geography, and referrers.
- Account tasks and reviews: Have your agent check your account details, monitor catalog tasks and limits, read task logs, and create, update, retrieve, or delete your reviews.
