Frequently asked questions
How do I get the identifier for an item?
The identifier is the unique string in the item's URL. For example, from https://archive.org/details/big_buck_bunny, the identifier is "big_buck_bunny". You can also get identifiers from search results using the ia-search-mcp server.
What file formats are typically available?
It depends on the item type. Texts often have PDF, EPUB, MOBI, plain text, and Daisy formats. Movies have MP4, OGV, and archival formats. Audio has MP3, OGG, and FLAC. The get_files tool shows all available formats for each item.
Can I see who reviewed an item?
Yes! Use the get_reviews tool. It returns the reviewer's username, star rating (1-5), review text, and review date. Not all items have reviews — community-contributed items tend to have more user feedback.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
