Connects Claude to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, letting you pull historical snapshots of websites programmatically. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, which aggregates 725+ data sources behind a single MCP interface. The repo doesn't list specific tools in the table, but you can either call Wayback operations directly or use the ask_pipeworx natural language wrapper to query without knowing exact parameters. Useful when you need to reference how a site looked at a specific point in time, track content changes, or verify claims about historical web presence. Runs as a hosted service at gateway.pipeworx.io, so no local setup required.
Internet Archive Wayback Machine MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 725+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"wayback": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/wayback/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 725+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Wayback data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
