Lets you and your coding agent build MCP servers in TypeScript, with auth, storage and logging included.
Met Museum MCP Server
cyanheads · MCP server
Connects your AI assistant to the public Collection API of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Your agent can search the collection by keyword and filters, browse it by department or by the date records were created or revised, and fetch full object records with metadata, provenance, tags and Wikidata links. Image links are returned for public-domain objects with open-access CC0 images. It runs on your machine, needing Bun, or through a public hosted endpoint that needs no install and no API key.
Written by ooruby from the README of @cyanheads/met-museum-mcp-server 0.8.0.

Why it's useful
Your agent can answer questions about the museum collection from its own records, including provenance and image links.
What you could do with it
- Search for paintings from a chosen date range that are on view now and have your agent list them.
- List every object in one department, or everything revised since a date, to track changes.
- Fetch full records for several objects and ask your agent to summarise their provenance.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.
Receipt history: every signed receipt for every version of this listing, and what changed between them.
In its maker's words
Search the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, browse it by department or update date, fetch full artwork records and open-access images via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.8.0, the file with digest sha512-Vo70aN43VWaKxOqWJgK0cKRMP1Kusi+T3hTzLdLkAaTwuwC6fi4YT8zDaUzCo5m6C0/h4++bzUrRc9acK2q+oQ==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- No auth declared. Its hosted endpoint, as the official MCP registry lists it, does not say it asks for a key. That is what the listing declares, not a finding that it has no protection.

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.
The badge, if this is your listing
It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
