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.
