Art MCP
Art MCP is a community server provided by Pipeworx that connects AI agents to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection API. It enables agents to search over 470,000 artworks by subject, artist, or keyword, retrieve detailed metadata for specific pieces, and list curatorial departments. The server operates via a free tier with no authentication required, allowing for direct integration into AI workflows for art research and discovery.
