Internet Archive MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Internet Archive MCP Server?
Internet Archive MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @cyanheads/internet-archive-mcp-server was installed 57 times last week.
How do I connect Internet Archive MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @cyanheads/internet-archive-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Internet Archive MCP Server?
The npm package @cyanheads/internet-archive-mcp-server was installed 57 times in the last week. Week over week that is +58%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Internet Archive MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 5 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
