Wayback Machine API MCP Server for AI Assistants

This n8n workflow creates a complete MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that wraps the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine API, providing two key operations: GET and POST to /wayback/v1/available. It transforms complex API calls into seamless tools for AI agents, handling requests from MCP triggers, executing HTTP requests to https://api.archive.org, and returning native responses with full data structures.

Key benefits include effortless AI integration with automatic parameter population using $fromAI() expressions, built-in error handling, and no need for custom coding. It's ideal for AI assistants needing historical web data, such as verifying page availability, archiving snapshots, or researching past website states, saving hours of development time.

Usage is straightforward: import the workflow, add Wayback API credentials, activate to start the server, copy the MCP webhook URL, and connect to tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or custom AI apps. Perfect for researchers, developers, and AI builders enhancing agents with web archiving capabilities.
