README

Europeana MCP.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool Description
search Search the Europeana collection by keyword. Returns matching items with ids (pass an id to record), titles, creators, dates and image links.
record Fetch full details for one Europeana item by id — a Europeana record id (the "id" field from search, e.g. "/2021601/foo").

Quick Start

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

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

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

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

Using with ask_pipeworx

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

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

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