api record

Art Institute of Chicago collection data: about 133,000 artworks, artists, exhibitions, and audio-guide stops. Start with artic_search_artworks (text plus filters; facets give counts) and read full records with artic_get_artworks (up to 10 ids per call; long histories via sections). Resolve a person or culture with artic_search_artists, then pass artist_id to artic_search_artworks. artic_lookup_vocabulary lists the exact values the department, artwork_type, style, subject, classification, material, technique, theme, place_of_origin, and gallery filters accept. Years are integers, negative for…

The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

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.

  • artic_search_exhibitions open 2h ago

    Search Art Institute of Chicago exhibitions by text and date: what is on now, what is coming, or past shows on a topic. Results carry dates, gallery, summary, web page, and the artworks shown when the museum lists them. Pass artwork ids to artic_get_artworks for full records.

  • artic_search_artworks open 2h ago

    Search the Art Institute of Chicago collection by text and structured filters, ranked by relevance or sorted by date. Text matches all words across titles, artists, descriptions, provenance, and other catalog fields. Filters combine with AND. Results reach the first 1,000 matches; narrow with filters for more. Set limit to 0 with facets to get only counts. Use artic_lookup_vocabulary for filter values and artic_get_artworks for full records.

  • artic_search_audio_guide unknown never probed

    Search the Art Institute of Chicago's mobile audio-guide stops by text, matching stop titles and transcripts. Returns each stop's title, MP3 URL, and transcript text. Stops carry no artwork id, so match a stop to a work by its title; for a known artwork, artic_get_artworks related_media lists the recordings linked to it. Some stops are in Spanish, and titles are sometimes internal file names.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

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.

card completeness
100%

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.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
