What this server can do

3 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

met_get_object(objectIDs)
Fetch full records for one or more Met Museum object IDs. Accepts up to 20 IDs per call and returns partial success — a single 404 does not fail the whole batch; per-ID failures are reported separately. Object IDs come from met_search_collections. Non-public-domain objects return empty image URLs. The constituents array is null for anonymous or unattributed works; tags is null for untagged objects. Required: objectIDs.
met_list_departments
Return the 19 curatorial departments at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, each with its numeric departmentId and display name — the valid values for the met_search_collections departmentId filter.
met_search_collections(q, limit, medium, offset, dateEnd, isOnView, dateBegin, hasImages, geoLocation, isHighlight, departmentId, isPublicDomain)
Search the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection by keyword and optional filters. Returns the total match count and a page of matching object IDs, which met_get_object resolves to full records. Relevance is keyword-based, not semantic; department and geographic filters narrow results more than a longer query. The medium parameter maps to the classification field (pass "Paintings", "Drawings", etc., not material descriptions like "Oil on canvas"). isPublicDomain guarantees CC0-licensed images; hasImages also includes copyrighted works. isOnView restricts results to works currently on display in a Met gallery. Required: q.

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

Signal Value What it measures Window Observed Source

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as art, museum, open-access, cultural-heritage. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.

This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
