MCP Wayback Machine
jmearman · MCP server
Gives your AI assistant access to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It supports full CDX search, snapshot content retrieval, screenshot listing and snapshot comparison, and it can archive a new address. Anonymous use works, and optional credentials give higher SPN2 rate limits. The same package also provides a command line tool for saving, fetching and searching snapshots.
Written by ooruby from the README of mcp-wayback-machine 3.7.1.

Why it's useful
Your assistant can check what a web page said in the past and save a copy of how it looks now.
What you could do with it
- Find every archived snapshot of an address from a chosen year, such as 2023.
- Compare the oldest and newest snapshots of a page to see what changed.
- Archive a page to the Wayback Machine, then check how many times it has been archived.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.
Receipt history: every signed receipt for every version of this listing, and what changed between them.
In its maker's words

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 3.7.1, the file with digest sha512-o37wVUCrKFrhe5IqXqm40y6qgkBm4ERRT+ERAe5nNRecNtX7zDCqA+WD8Yy18ulRErtn7DaMxzDabkHq/jMRMg==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.

It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
