How to Use the Internet Archive Wayback MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How does Mastra AI use Internet Archive Wayback for error handling?

By inspecting status codes from getcapturesbystatus, your agent decides whether to retry or move to a fallback. It makes your research pipeline more resilient.

Automated link rot recovery in Mastra AI

Configure your agents to automatically trigger `get_latest_capture` when a link returns a 404. This keeps your long-term research reports accurate. Your Mastra AI workflow handles the logic of finding the last known good state. It removes the need for manual intervention during your data gathering processes.

Recursive archival audits for workflows

Deploy `get_subdomain_captures` to map out the entire historical footprint of a domain. Your agents use this to audit site changes across complex multi-step tasks. It allows your workflow to identify every archived subdomain in a single pass. You get a complete picture of the target's digital history without writing custom crawlers.

Handling archival failures with logic

Use `get_captures_by_status` to identify when a site was actively blocked or returning errors. Your agents branch their logic based on these specific HTTP codes. This ensures your workflow handles edge cases like redirects or server errors gracefully. You maintain control over how your agent proceeds when the archive data is sparse.

Setup guide

Set up Internet Archive Wayback MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Internet Archive Wayback tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "internet-archive-wayback-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "internet-archive-wayback-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Internet Archive Wayback Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Internet Archive Wayback tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Internet Archive Wayback transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
