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).

Quick Start

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

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

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 960+ 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 Rijksmuseum data" })

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