This n8n workflow creates an interface to interact with the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine API, transforming it into an MCP (Modular Content Protocol) compatible server for AI agents. The workflow starts with a trigger node, called ‘Wayback MCP Server,’ which acts as a webhook endpoint. When the workflow is activated, it can receive requests from AI agents or other services, allowing for dynamic retrieval or creation of archived web data.
The workflow includes two main HTTP request nodes: ‘Get wayback’ and ‘Create wayback.’ These nodes handle GET and POST requests to the Wayback Machine API endpoint (`https://api.archive.org/wayback/v1/available`) to either retrieve information about archived versions of a URL or create new archive entries, respectively.
The setup instructions note that parameters in requests can be automatically generated using AI expressions, simplifying dynamic data handling. Users need to import the workflow, activate it, and connect their AI agents via the provided webhook URL. Additional customization options include adding data transformations, error handling, and logging for robustness.
This automation is particularly useful for developers and digital archivists wanting to seamlessly integrate web archive capabilities into AI applications, monitoring, or content management systems, enabling real-time access to web history and snapshots.
