An MCP server providing read-only access to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Collection, enabling AI models to search and retrieve artwork details and images.
This MCP server is generally safe due to its read-only nature and lack of sensitive operations. Risks are primarily related to API usage costs and reliance on the external Met Museum API. It is safe to use in most contexts, but be mindful of potential biases in the underlying data.
Performance is primarily limited by the Met Museum API's response times and network latency. Consider caching frequently accessed data to improve response times.
Cost is primarily determined by the number of API calls made to the Met Museum API. Monitor usage to avoid exceeding any rate limits or incurring unexpected charges.

This MCP server is generally safe due to its read-only nature and lack of sensitive operations. Risks are primarily related to API usage costs and reliance on the external Met Museum API. It is safe to use in most contexts, but be mindful of potential biases in the underlying data.
The server operates in a read-only mode, preventing any modifications to the underlying data. Autonomy is limited to exploration and retrieval of information.
Production Tip
Implement rate limiting to prevent overwhelming the Met Museum API and incurring unexpected costs.
No, this is a third-party implementation and is not officially associated with The Met.
You can access open access data about objects in The Met's collection, including titles, artists, descriptions, and images.
No, this server does not require an API key.
No, this server provides read-only access to the data.
You can submit a pull request on the project's GitHub repository.
