The Metropolitan Museum of Art Collection API — over 500,000 artworks spanning 5,000 years.
Typical workflow: met_list_departments → met_search_collections (returns IDs) → met_get_object (full records, up to 20 per call).

- 4 tools: met_search_collections, met_get_object, met_list_objects, met_list_departments.
- Is met-museum-mcp-server safe to connect?

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.
met_list_objects reads open 22h ago
Browse the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection without a keyword: every object ID in one curatorial department, every object whose record was created or revised on or after a date, or both together. Returns the total count and one page of IDs in ascending order, which met_get_object resolves to full records. With no filter the list is the whole collection (over 500,000 IDs). departmentId takes an ID from met_list_departments; updatedSince takes a YYYY-MM-DD date and answers "what has the Met added or revised since this day". Paging has no depth limit — pass nextOffset to continue. For keyword, classification, place, or object-date filters use met_search_collections instead. A list is cached for up to an hour, so a record revised within the last hour may not appear yet.

Return the 19 curatorial departments at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, each with its numeric departmentId and display name — the valid values for the departmentId filter on met_search_collections and met_list_objects.

Search the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection by keyword and optional filters. Returns the total match count and one 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. Paging reaches only the first 10,000 matches of any search, so narrow a larger one with filters. The medium parameter takes an object classification as the Met spells it ("Paintings", "Sculpture"), not a material like "Oil on canvas". hasImages also includes copyrighted works; CC0 status is per object, from the isPublicDomain and hasCC0Image fields on met_get_object. isHighlight accepts true only. isOnView restricts results to works currently on display in a Met gallery.

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 (keyword search) or met_list_objects (browse by department or update date). Non-public-domain objects return empty image URLs. The constituents array is null for anonymous or unattributed works; tags and measurements are null when the Met records none. Records are returned whole and never truncated, so a batch of unusually large records may return fewer than requested — any that did not fit are listed in deferred[] with their sizes, to be re-requested in a follow-up call. Set includeImages to also receive the CC0 images of up to 3 returned records as image content a vision-capable model can look at.

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.
Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.
- Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it:
GET /api/v1/me, thenPOST /api/v1/passport. - Prove it is yours. Easiest: put
brick-blue-key=<your key>in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain. - Ask the hub to check:
POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpointwith this listing's id0e644dc91362ee12.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.
An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.
MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
