e-yearbook.com Archive Search

Connects Claude or any MCP client to the e-yearbook.com archive of 300,000+ U.S. yearbooks and 100 million mentions. The free tier lets you search by name and get coarsened results (region, decade, confidence band) to confirm whether someone is in the archive. Paid subscription unlocks exact school, year, page numbers, and scan URLs. Exposes OpenAI-compatible search and fetch tools plus yearbook-specific operations like searching by school, checking coverage years, and requesting missing volumes. Includes privacy budgets to prevent identity confirmation via cross-referencing on the free tier. Useful for genealogy research, reunion planning, or any agent workflow where you need to surface historical school records without building your own digitization pipeline.
