mcp-rijksmuseum

Rijksmuseum MCP.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 960+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
`search`	Search the Rijksmuseum collection by keyword. Returns matching items with ids (pass an id to artwork), titles, creators, dates and image links.
`artwork`	Fetch full details for one Rijksmuseum item by id — a Rijksmuseum object number (e.g. "SK-C-5", from search).

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rijksmuseum": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/rijksmuseum/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 960+ data sources:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

Code

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Rijksmuseum data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
