Art MCP — Metropolitan Museum of Art Collection API (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_artworks | Search the Met's collection by subject, artist or keyword (e.g., "sunflowers", "monet", "ancient egypt"). Artworks whose TITLE matches come first, then ones whose ARTIST or culture matches, then general full-text matches; each result says which via matched_on. Returns title, artist, date, medium and image URL. |
get_artwork | Get full details for a specific artwork. Provide the object ID from search results. Returns title, artist, date, medium, department, and high-resolution image URL. |
get_departments | Return the full list of Metropolitan Museum of Art curatorial departments (e.g., 'Egyptian Art', 'Modern and Contemporary Art'), each with its numeric department ID. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"art": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/art/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Art data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
