nara_digital_objects

Pack: us-national-archives · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/us-national-archives/mcp

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/nara_digital_objects for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

List the digitised files attached to one US National Archives Catalog record — scanned page images, PDFs, audio and video — with a direct, public-domain download URL, file type and size for each. Use after nara_search or nara_record when you want the actual document rather than its description. Example: nara_digital_objects({ naid: “219756158” })

Parameters
