Artbook Society MCP

An official read-only MCP server provided by Artbook Society that allows agents to query their real-time catalog of independent art books, artists, editors, and upcoming events. It exposes five specific tools for searching publications, retrieving product details, artist profiles, editor information, and event listings.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Read-only access to the Artbook Society published catalog: books, artists, editors and events. No write operation is available. No personal data is ever returned — the same guarantees as the public website.

90-day uptime

A lightweight connection check about every six hours, sampled on hosts with many listings. It shows the server answered, not that its tools work.

Too few checks for a percentage yet (1 of 1 answered).

2026-11-07: 1 of 1 checks answered

30-day availability

Aggregated from read-only remote checks; this is not a tool-execution or security guarantee.

Successful checks: 1 of 1 (100%)

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http artbook-society-mcp https://www.artbooksociety.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add artbook-society-mcp --url https://www.artbooksociety.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable artbook-society-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "artbook-society-mcp": {
      "url": "https://www.artbooksociety.com/mcp"

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http artbook-society-mcp https://www.artbooksociety.com/mcp
