Internet Archive Wayback Machine API for AI Assistants (n8n Workflow)
This n8n workflow provides a foundation for integrating the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine functionality with AI assistants using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It acts as a trigger point for AI agents to request and receive information from the Wayback Machine.
What it does
This workflow currently serves as a starting point or a template for building a more complex integration.
- Listens for AI Assistant Requests: It uses the "MCP Server Trigger" node to listen for incoming requests from AI assistants that adhere to the Model Context Protocol. These requests are expected to contain instructions or queries related to the Wayback Machine.
Prerequisites/Requirements
- n8n Instance: An active n8n instance where this workflow can be imported and run.
- AI Assistant/Agent: An AI assistant or agent capable of making requests using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Internet Archive Wayback Machine API: While not explicitly configured in this starter workflow, the intention is to integrate with the Wayback Machine API. You would need to understand its API documentation for further development.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow:
- Download the provided JSON file for this workflow.
- In your n8n instance, click "New" in the workflows section, then "Import from JSON".
- Paste the JSON content or upload the file.
- Activate the Workflow: Toggle the workflow to "Active" in the top right corner of the n8n editor.
- Further Development:
- This workflow is a trigger. To make it functional, you will need to add subsequent nodes to:
- Parse the incoming request from the MCP Server Trigger.
- Make API calls to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine based on the parsed request.
- Process the response from the Wayback Machine.
- Format the data back into an MCP-compatible response for the AI assistant.
- Handle potential errors or edge cases.
- This workflow is a trigger. To make it functional, you will need to add subsequent nodes to:
This workflow is designed to be extended. Its current state provides the necessary trigger for an AI assistant to initiate a conversation or task related to the Wayback Machine.

Auto-reply & create Linear tickets from Gmail with GPT-5, gotoHuman & human review
This workflow automatically classifies every new email from your linked mailbox, drafts a personalized reply, and creates Linear tickets for bugs or feature requests. It uses a human-in-the-loop with gotoHuman and continuously improves itself by learning from approved examples. How it works The workflow triggers on every new email from your linked mailbox. Self-learning Email Classifier: an AI model categorizes the email into defined categories (e.g., Bug Report, Feature Request, Sales Opportunity, etc.). It fetches previously approved classification examples from gotoHuman to refine decisions. Self-learning Email Writer: the AI drafts a reply to the email. It learns over time by using previously approved replies from gotoHuman, with per-classification context to tailor tone and style (e.g., different style for sales vs. bug reports). Human Review in gotoHuman: review the classification and the drafted reply. Drafts can be edited or retried. Approved values are used to train the self-learning agents. Send approved Reply: the approved response is sent as a reply to the email thread. Create ticket: if the classification is Bug or Feature Request, a ticket is created by another AI agent in Linear. Human Review in gotoHuman: How to set up Most importantly, install the gotoHuman node before importing this template! (Just add the node to a blank canvas before importing) Set up credentials for gotoHuman, OpenAI, your email provider (e.g. Gmail), and Linear. In gotoHuman, select and create the pre-built review template "Support email agent" or import the ID: 6fzuCJlFYJtlu9mGYcVT. Select this template in the gotoHuman node. In the "gotoHuman: Fetch approved examples" http nodes you need to add your formId. It is the ID of the review template that you just created/imported in gotoHuman. Requirements gotoHuman (human supervision, memory for self-learning) OpenAI (classification, drafting) Gmail or your preferred email provider (for email trigger+replies) Linear (ticketing) How to customize Expand or refine the categories used by the classifier. Update the prompt to reflect your own taxonomy. Filter fetched training data from gotoHuman by reviewer so the writer adapts to their personalized tone and preferences. Add more context to the AI email writer (calendar events, FAQs, product docs) to improve reply quality.
Automated YouTube video uploads with 12h interval scheduling in JST
This workflow automates a batch upload of multiple videos to YouTube, spacing each upload 12 hours apart in Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) and automatically adding them to a playlist. ⚙️ Workflow Logic Manual Trigger — Starts the workflow manually. List Video Files — Uses a shell command to find all .mp4 files under the specified directory (/opt/downloads/单词卡/A1-A2). Sort and Generate Items — Sorts videos by day number (dayXX) extracted from filenames and assigns a sequential order value. Calculate Publish Schedule (+12h Interval) — Computes the next rounded JST hour plus a configurable buffer (default 30 min). Staggers each video’s scheduled time by order × 12 hours. Converts JST back to UTC for YouTube’s publishAt field. Split in Batches (1 per video) — Iterates over each video item. Read Video File — Loads the corresponding video from disk. Upload to YouTube (Scheduled) — Uploads the video privately with the computed publishAtUtc. Add to Playlist — Adds the newly uploaded video to the target playlist. 🕒 Highlights Timezone-safe: Pure UTC ↔ JST conversion avoids double-offset errors. Sequential scheduling: Ensures each upload is 12 hours apart to prevent clustering. Customizable: Change SPANHOURS, BUFFERMIN, or directory paths easily. Retry-ready: Each upload and playlist step has retry logic to handle transient errors. 💡 Typical Use Cases Multi-part educational video series (e.g., A1–A2 English learning). Regular content release cadence without manual scheduling. Automated YouTube publishing pipelines for pre-produced content. --- Author: Zane Category: Automation / YouTube / Scheduler Timezone: JST (UTC+09:00)
