Internet Archive Search MCP Tools for Pydantic AI (12)
These 12 tools become available when you connect Internet Archive Search to Pydantic AI via MCP:
faceted_search
The facets parameter uses JSON faceting syntax (e.g., "mediatype:{type:terms,field:mediatype}"). Use this to understand the composition of search results by categories like media type, collection, or creator. Search with faceted results for category analysis
search
Supports AND, OR, NOT, wildcards (*), and field searches. Use this for broad discovery. Optional: fields (e.g., "identifier,title,mediatype"), rows (1-100), page for pagination, and sort (e.g., "date desc"). Universal search across 40M+ items in the Internet Archive
search_by_collection
Use this to explore themed collections. Search items within a specific Internet Archive collection
search_by_creator
Creator names should match item metadata. Examples: "George Orwell", "NASA", "Charlie Chaplin", "Project Gutenberg". Use this to find the complete works of an author or content from an organization. Search for all items by a specific creator or author
search_by_date_range
Combines a text query with year filtering. Example: query="science fiction", startYear="1950", endYear="1959" finds 1950s sci-fi. Use this for historical content discovery. Search for items within a specific year range
search_by_language
Examples: "English", "French", "Spanish", "Portuguese", "German". Use this to find content in a specific language. Search for items in a specific language
search_by_mediatype
Use this to filter by format type. Search for items of a specific media type
search_by_publisher
Examples: "Penguin Books", "Marvel Comics", "National Geographic". Use this to find all content from a specific publisher. Search for items by publisher name
search_by_subject
Subjects are curated topics assigned to items. Examples: "world war 2", "science fiction", "civil rights", "jazz music". Use this to find content about specific topics across all collections. Search for items by subject or topic
search_fulltext
Returns identifier, title, and description. Use this when you need to find items containing specific terms in their descriptions. Limited to 25 results by default. Full-text search across item descriptions and metadata
search_recent
Use this to discover new content added to the archive. Useful for staying current with new additions. Get the most recently uploaded items to the Internet Archive
search_top_downloads
Optional mediatype filter narrows to a specific format (texts, movies, audio, software). Use this to find popular content. Get the most downloaded items from the Internet Archive
