Anna's Archive

Integrates with Anna's Archive to provide search and download capabilities for Creative Commons publications and public domain materials, requiring API key authentication and emphasizing responsible use for research and educational workflows.

This MCP server provides AI assistants with search and download capabilities for Anna's Archive, a comprehensive repository for automated retrieval of documents including Creative Commons publications and public domain materials. Built using Go with web scraping via Colly and structured logging through Zap, it offers dual functionality as both a CLI tool and MCP server with two core operations: searching the archive by terms and downloading specific documents by MD5 hash. The implementation requires API key authentication through donations to Anna's Archive, includes comprehensive error handling and logging, supports multiple platforms through GoReleaser automation, and emphasizes responsible use by explicitly discouraging unauthorized acquisition of copyrighted content, making it valuable for research workflows, academic document retrieval, and building AI assistants that need programmatic access to open educational resources.
