by mikechao • Search & Retrieval
An MCP server that lets AI agents search and retrieve The Met's public collection data and images via natural language.
Search The Met collection by keyword, department, or title and retrieve lists of matching object IDs.
Fetch full open-access object metadata (artist, medium, dimensions, credit line, tags) and optionally include object images as resources.
Integrate museum collection queries into chat UIs or agent workflows (e.g., Claude Desktop, LibreChat) for guided exploration or curation tasks.
This server exposes The Metropolitan Museum of Art Collection API through a Model Context Protocol implementation, enabling AI models to list departments, search museum objects, and fetch full object metadata and images as resources. It is designed for easy integration with agents and client apps (examples include Claude Desktop and LibreChat) and is distributed under the MIT License. The project is a third‑party implementation and is not officially affiliated with The Met.
List all departments in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met Museum)
Search for objects in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met Museum). Will return Total objects found, followed by a paginated list of Object Ids. If the Met Explorer app (open-met-explorer) is open and the user is referring to its existing results, prefer using those results from context instead of calling this tool. The parameter title should be set to true if you want to search for objects by title. The parameter hasImages is false by default, but can be set to true to return only objects with images. Additional optional filters are available for highlights, tags, on-view status, artist/culture match, medium, geographic location, and date range. Use page and pageSize to paginate results.
Get a museum object by its ID, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art Collection. Use this when the user asks for deeper details on a specific object ID.
Open the interactive Met Explorer app for browsing and filtering objects. For exploration intents, pass q so the app can run a live search on open. After opening, keep your chat handoff short and UI-focused. For deeper details on a specific object ID, prefer get-museum-object.
