archive-org-mcp

Scaffold status: PyPI name reservation. This package is a placeholder scaffold to claim the archive-org-mcp name on PyPI. The MCP server is not yet implemented.

MCP server for the Internet Archive (archive.org). Provides access to:

  • Wayback Machine — query historical snapshots of any URL via the CDX API
  • Catalog search — search the Internet Archive's metadata catalog (books, videos, audio, software, web pages)
  • Saved pages — fetch archived page content for a specific timestamp
  • Availability — closest-snapshot lookup for a URL + timestamp

Reserve the PyPI name

cd /Users/les/Projects/archive-org-mcp
uv build
uv publish  # uses UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN from env

The package name archive-org-mcp is currently free on PyPI (verified 2026-08-31). Publishing a placeholder 0.1.0 release locks the name.

Architecture (planned)

Mirrors the raindropio-mcp pattern in this ecosystem:

  • httpx2 for the archive.org REST API client (no auth required for read-only endpoints; rate-limited)
  • fastmcp for the MCP server surface
  • oneiric for layered config (settings/archive-org-mcp.yaml, local.yaml, env vars) — configures the CDX endpoint, rate-limit backoff, and an optional ARCHIVE_ORG_AUTH_TOKEN for write- operations
  • mcp-common for bootstrap, health endpoints
  • pydantic/pydantic-settings for typed config models

Why this name

We considered internetarchive-mcp, waybackmachine-mcp, wayback-mcp (taken), and ia-mcp (collides with anything). archive-org-mcp is the user-facing branding of the Internet Archive (their primary domain) and is the most discoverable name.
