Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search |
Search Internet Archive for texts, audio, video, and software by keyword. Returns item titles, identifiers, descriptions, and media types. |
get_metadata |
Get full metadata for an archived item by identifier. Returns title, creator, date, format, size, and access details. |

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.
