MCP server for the Rijksmuseum collections
rijksmuseum-mcp+ provides a bridge between AI assistants and the Rijksmuseum's curated metadata, extending it with semantic search, provenance analysis, visual similarity, and spatial reasoning. It offers 15 tools for searching, analyzing, and interacting with artworks via natural language. The project was developed as a technology demo by the University of Basel's RISE group.
