Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP endpoint that lets an assistant search Internet Archive (archive.org) items and look up their metadata.

What you can do
  • Search Internet Archive items and retrieve their metadata, per the description.
  • Ask questions in plain English through the gateway's ask_pipeworx tool, which selects a tool and fills in arguments.
  • Optionally connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to reach all of its listed data sources.
  • The README's tool table is empty, so individual tool names and parameters are not documented.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to find archive.org items or check their metadata without leaving the chat, and you are comfortable routing requests through a third-party gateway.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at the Pipeworx gateway; no local package, environment variables or headers are declared. An MCP client that supports remote HTTP servers (for example Claude Desktop, Cursor or Windsurf) is needed, plus network access to the gateway.
Before you install
Requests go through a third-party gateway (Pipeworx) rather than archive.org directly, so queries and results pass through that service. No authentication is declared, so access and rate limits are not described. The README lists no tools, so verify actual capabilities before relying on them.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Internet Archive in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.pipeworx-io%2Finternet-archive/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "internet-archive": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/internet-archive/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Tools

ToolDescription

Quick Start

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

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

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 808+ data sources:

json
{  "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 Internet Archive data" })

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