GeminiGet item files on Internet Archive
Items may contain multiple files in various formats (PDF, EPUB, MP4, MP3, JPEG, etc.). The identifier is the unique item ID from search results or the item URL. Use this to see what formats are available for download. Files can be downloaded from: https://archive.org/download/{identifier}/{filename} Get the file listing for a specific Internet Archive item
Get item metadata on Internet Archive
Returns: title, creator, date, description, subjects, collection(s), publisher, language, license, download stats, reviews, and complete file listing with formats and sizes. The identifier is obtained from search results or can be found in the item URL (e.g., from https://archive.org/details/big_buck_bunny, the identifier is "big_buck_bunny"). Use this to get comprehensive information about a specific item before downloading or citing it. Get complete metadata and details for a specific Internet Archive item
Get item reviews on Internet Archive
Each review includes reviewer name, star rating, review text, and submission date. Use this to understand community reception and quality assessment of items. Not all items have reviews — community items tend to have more user feedback. Get user reviews for a specific Internet Archive item
Get views stats on Internet Archive
Returns total views and, when available, daily view counts and geographic breakdown. Use this to measure the popularity and reach of archived content. The identifier is the unique item ID from search results or the item URL. Get view count statistics for an Internet Archive item
Search on Internet Archive
The query parameter supports complex search syntax: AND, OR, NOT, wildcards (*), phrase matching ("..."), and field-specific searches (title:"X", subject:"Y"). Returns item identifiers, titles, media types, creators, dates, and collection info. Use this for broad searches across all media types. Optional fields parameter specifies which fields to return (comma-separated: "identifier,title,mediatype,creator,date,collection"). Default returns 25 rows; use rows to get up to 100 per page. Use page for pagination. Sort options: "date desc", "date asc", "title asc", "title desc", "creator asc", "downloads desc". Example queries: "moon landing", "subject:world war 2", "collection:prelinger". Search the Internet Archive for books, videos, audio, software, images, and more
Search by collection on Internet Archive
Common collections: "prelinger" (Prelinger Archives), "fedflix" (Federal government films), "gutenberg" (Project Gutenberg ebooks), "opensource_movies" (community films), "netlabels" (netlabel music), "softwarelibrary" (classic software), "tv" (TV news archive), "pubmed" (medical journal articles), "nasa" (NASA images and videos), "americanlibraries" (library collections). Returns items within that collection with their identifiers, titles, and metadata. Use this to browse or search within curated collections. Search for items in a specific Internet Archive collection
Search by creator on Internet Archive
The creator name should match how it appears in the item metadata (may be full name or organization name). Use this to find the complete works of an author, all films by a director, or all content from an organization. Example creators: "George Orwell", "Charlie Chaplin", "NASA", "Project Gutenberg". Search for items created by a specific person or organization
Search by date range on Internet Archive
Combines a search query with year filtering to find historical content from a specific era. Use this to find content from specific decades or periods. Example: query="science fiction", startYear="1950", endYear="1959" finds 1950s sci-fi. The query parameter can be any valid search term. Years should be 4-digit format. Search for items within a specific year range
Search by mediatype on Internet Archive
Media types include: "texts" (books, articles, documents), "movies" (films, videos, TV clips), "audio" (music, podcasts, radio, audiobooks), "software" (classic PC games, applications), "image" (photos, artwork, maps), "dataset" (data files), "web" (web pages). Use this when you want to find only items of a specific format. Example: mediatype="movies" returns only video content. Search for items of a specific media type in the Internet Archive
Wayback availability on Internet Archive
Returns the closest (most recent) archived snapshot with its timestamp and availability status. Use this to find archived versions of websites, verify if a page is preserved, or get the date of the most recent snapshot. The archived URL can be accessed at: https://web.archive.org/web/{timestamp}/{original_url}. Example: For https://example.com, returns the closest archived snapshot date and URL. Check if a URL has been archived by the Wayback Machine and find available snapshots
Security & Code Integrity Audit
Every tool in the Internet Archive MCP Server is continuously audited by the Vinkius Security Engine. We guarantee zero-trust payload isolation, strict data boundaries, and deterministic execution for enterprise-grade AI agents.
How Vinkius protects your data
Can I audit what my AI agents are doing with this integration?
Yes, Vinkius provides an immutable, HMAC-chained audit log. Every tool execution, payload, and response is tracked in real-time on your dashboard, giving you complete visibility into your agent's actions.
How does the AI access my passwords and credentials?
It simply doesn't. On Vinkius, your passwords, API keys, and login details are kept in a secure vault. The AI (like ChatGPT or Claude) merely "asks" Vinkius to perform the task. Vinkius opens the door, does the work, and hands the result back to the AI. Your credentials are never seen, read, or learned by the artificial intelligence.
How can I use the Wayback Machine to find archived websites snapshots?
Use the wayback_availability tool with any full URL (e.g., "https://example.com"). It returns the closest archived snapshot with its timestamp. The archived page can be viewed at: https://web.archive.org/web/{timestamp}/{original_url}. Note: Not all URLs are archived — the Wayback Machine selectively crawls and saves web pages.
Does the AI train on my tools or API data?
No. Vinkius enforces a strict Zero-Retention policy. Your data simply passes through our secure servers to complete the requested action and is instantly forgotten. Nothing you do here is ever stored, logged, or used to train any artificial intelligence.
What can AI Agents do with Internet Archive?
Enable conversational interfaces like ChatGPT and Claude to execute programmatic commands against the Internet Archive infrastructure.
Autonomous digital library via AI
The Internet Archive toolkit enables AI agents to execute digital library commands. It handles protocol translation for brain trust integrations natively.
Scaling wayback machine via MCP
Deploy the Internet Archive toolkit to manage wayback machine. The integration offers robust endpoints for ChatGPT to control brain trust settings.
