安全提示

MCP 服务会接收对话中的工具调用请求，并可能执行外部操作。启用前请先了解该服务能做什么，并只授予它所需的权限。

注册中心已验证此条目所属的 GitHub 账号 ux-xd。这并不表明该账号就是产品方。

SourceWeft 的检查只涵盖条目是否完整、端点是否响应；不审查服务器的代码，也不审查其工具的行为。

概览

AI 生成的概览

远程 MCP 服务器，让助手获取某个网址最接近的存档副本及其正文，并列出 Wayback Machine 对某站点或路径的全部抓取记录。

可以做什么: 获取某个网址最接近的存档快照，可指定大致日期，返回快照网址、精确时间戳、原始字节网址和提取的页面正文；Wayback Machine 无记录时回退到 Common Crawl 索引。列出某个网址、前缀、主机或整个域名的全部抓取记录，可按状态码或 MIME 类型过滤、按周期折叠为每期一条、限定日期范围，并用续页键分页。两个工具均为只读且幂等。
适用场景: 适用于页面已失效、迁移、被修改或位于付费墙后，而你需要它某一时点的内容；也适用于查询某站点或路径的抓取历史，例如站点曾经有过什么、页面何时变化。不适用于抓取实时页面、整站镜像或绕过当前内容的付费墙。
运行要求: 远程 Streamable HTTP 端点，无需本地运行时、账号或 API 密钥。客户端需支持远程 HTTP MCP 服务器，部分客户端需要桥接命令。需要能访问该端点及上游存档索引的网络。

安装前请注意

每次工具调用都必须提供一句 task_context 描述用户目标，服务方称用于了解智能体需求，因此任务细节会离开客户端。查询内容和抓取到的页面内容会发送到远程服务及其上游存档索引。工具只读取存档数据，不会修改任何内容。

安装

在 SourceWeft 中

打开控制台中的 Wayback Machine，将其添加到工作区。
为需要使用其工具的对话启用该服务。

Web executable，通过 Streamable HTTP。远程服务在工作区中配置后即可从网页运行时运行。

交给智能体安装

把这段提示词粘贴到 Claude Code、Codex、Cursor 等智能体，或 SourceWeft 对话中。智能体会读取该服务器的安装指南，先向你展示发布者、端点和登录方式，经你同意后再把它添加到你的客户端。密钥不会写进任何命令。

阅读 https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.ux-xd%2Fwayback-machine/install.md，并按其中说明把这个 MCP 服务器接入我的客户端。修改任何配置之前，先告诉我它的发布者、端点和登录方式，等我确认。不要把 API 密钥写进命令或我会提交的文件；问我密钥应从哪里获取。

README

Wayback Machine

Wayback Machine for agents: closest archived copy of a URL with its text, and full capture history Remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP at https://waybackmcp.com/mcp. Free, no API key. Tools: archived_copy, capture_history. The tool list is fixed per version.

Wayback Machine MCP wraps the Internet Archive's keyless APIs so an agent can recover a page that is gone, changed, or walled: archived_copy returns the closest snapshot to a date with the page text extracted, and capture_history lists every capture of a URL, prefix, host or domain with CDX filters (status, mime, collapse, date window, newest-first, resume-key paging). Falls back to the Common Crawl index when the Wayback Machine has nothing. Free, no API key, no account.

Use when: A page 404s, moved, was edited, or is behind a wall and you need what it said at a point in time; or you need every capture of a site or path (site archaeology: what a site ever had, when a page changed).

Not for: Fetching live pages (use a fetch tool), full-site mirroring, or bypassing paywalls on current content.

Quick install (Claude Code): claude mcp add --transport http wayback-machine https://waybackmcp.com/mcp -s user

Live server: https://waybackmcp.com

Tools

Tool	Purpose	Effects
`archived_copy`	Closest archived copy of a URL from the Wayback Machine (Internet Archive), nearest to a date if given. Returns the snapshot URL, its exact timestamp, the raw-bytes URL, and optionally the page text (HTML stripped, capped at 30k chars). Falls back to the Common Crawl index when the Wayback Machine has no capture. Use when a page is dead, changed, or walled and you need what it said.	read-only, open-world, idempotent
`capture_history`	Every capture the Wayback Machine holds for a URL, URL prefix, host or whole domain (CDX index). Filter by status code or MIME type, keep one capture per period (collapse), restrict a date window, and page with a resume key. Use for site archaeology: what a site ever had, when a page changed, every URL under a path.	read-only, open-world, idempotent

Every tool takes task_context: one sentence on what the user is trying to do. It is required.

`archived_copy`

Closest archived copy of a URL from the Wayback Machine (Internet Archive), nearest to a date if given. Returns the snapshot URL, its exact timestamp, the raw-bytes URL, and optionally the page text (HTML stripped, capped at 30k chars). Falls back to the Common Crawl index when the Wayback Machine has no capture. Use when a page is dead, changed, or walled and you need what it said.
