Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for AB[500] artist research, holding-duration metrics, project and price lookups, and open bounty listings from AB5D.

What you can do
List and search artist dossiers, then read a full structured biography with works, images and bibliography by slug, plus the methodology behind the oTDH holding-duration metric and ranked artist scores and collector registers. Look up artworks, series and projects by title or artist, read a minted edition's render and indexed owner, and compare current indexed asking prices across up to ten projects. Review institutional holdings, public collector registers and donor or accession credits. List open bounties and read one bounty's status and claim routes, and rank indexed asks by ETH per added ownership percentage. Discover curated AB5D apps and service descriptors, and prepare an artwork or 3
When to use it
Useful when researching Art Blocks artists and works, checking holding-duration or collector data, comparing asking prices before a purchase decision, or finding and checking the status of AB5D bounty tasks.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no packages, environment variables or headers declared. Network access to the AB5D endpoint is needed.
Before you install
Bounty listings and statuses are live offers, so confirm a task is open before starting work. Price comparisons are unverified indexed asks excluding gas and are not valuations or forecasts; no trading is offered. Collector and donor data is limited to published registers, and absence of a record means unknown rather than a negative finding.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open AB[500] research and bounties in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.maxand98%2Fab500-research/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
