We consider the problem of private information retrieval from MDS-coded databases with $T$ colluding servers, $U$ robust servers, and $B$ Byzantine servers, referred to as U-B-MDS-TPIR. In the U-B-MDS-TPIR setting, $M$ files are stored across $N$ servers, and in this paper each file is independently encoded using an $(N,K)$ GRS code. We characterize the capacity among linear, full support-rank U-B-MDS-TPIR schemes as $C=\frac{N-U-2B}{N-U}(1+\frac{K+T-1}{N-U-2B}+\cdots+(\frac{K+T-1}{N-U-2B})^{M-1})^{-1}$ when $N-U-2B\ge KT$. When $K=1$ or $T=1$, the same expression gives the capacity without the linearity and full support-rank restrictions. We further extend the construction to the retrieval of $P$ out of $M$ files. For $P \ge \frac{M}{2}$, the resulting multi-file scheme achieves capacity when $K=1$ or $T=1$.
