Metmuseum Mcp

Install Metmuseum Mcp

Install instructions vary — visit the GitHub repository for the latest install command. Most MCP servers follow one of three patterns: npx -y <package> for Node, uvx <package> for Python, or docker run <image> for containerized servers.

Use Metmuseum Mcp with Claude Code

Once the server is on your machine, register it with Claude Code so the agent can call it like any other tool. The general pattern is:

claude mcp add mikechao-metmuseum-mcp -- <install-command>

After it's registered, run claude and ask anything that requires Metmuseum Mcp. Claude Code will negotiate the MCP handshake and surface the server's tools, prompts, and resources to the model automatically. See our Claude Code MCP guide for environment variables, scope flags, and credential handling.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Collection API integration to search and display artworks in the collection.

FAQ

Is Metmuseum Mcp free?

Yes — every MCP server in the ClawHire directory is open-source or freely available. Some servers proxy to paid APIs (you supply your own keys), but the server itself is free.

Does it work with Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf?

If a client speaks the Model Context Protocol, it can use this server. The transport (stdio vs SSE vs HTTP) needs to match what the client supports, but the server itself is client-agnostic.
