Overview

AI-generated overview

A hosted MCP server that lets an assistant search artworks in the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection through a public endpoint.

What you can do
Search the Met Museum's art collection for artworks by keyword or theme, based on the advertised search_artworks tool. The registry description is truncated and the server lists no further tools, so the exact search parameters and result fields are not documented. The README also mentions free health check and discovery tools alongside paid tools.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up artworks, artists or collection items from the Met Museum without building your own integration. Best suited to casual art lookup and discovery rather than detailed collection research, since the available tools are only partly documented.
Requirements
A remote MCP client that connects to the hosted endpoint; nothing to install locally. The README states that paid tools need an x402-capable MCP client, while health check and discovery tools are free. No accounts, API keys or headers are declared.
Before you install
The README describes a freemium model where some tools are paid through x402 with USDC on Base, so using them can spend cryptocurrency; confirm which tools are free before relying on them. The registry description is cut off, so verify the actual tool list after connecting. Queries go to a third-party hosted service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Met Museum Mcp 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.varvararatta%2Fmet_museum_mcp/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

Other MCP clients
