# Exhibition Item Selection Brief AI Agent Connect

> Exhibition Item Selection Brief MCP helps curators and exhibition planners pick the best artifacts for a show. It handles the math of spatial limits, checks security and handling rules, and ensures your chosen items actually tell the story you planned.

## Description

You can stop manually cross-referencing spreadsheets of inventory against floor plans. This MCP handles the heavy lifting of curation logistics. When you're planning a new show, you can give your AI client a list of potential artifacts and a set of constraints. The MCP will find the best combination of items that fit your physical space while meeting your storytelling requirements. It accounts for buffer zones around objects so you don't overstuff a gallery, and it respects security or handling restrictions that might prevent certain items from being displayed. Instead of guessing if a collection fits a theme, you can get a clear measurement of how well your selection covers your mandatory narrative points. It turns the messy process of artifact selection into a precise, data-driven workflow.

## Tools

### evaluate_narrative_coverage
This tool measures how well your selected items cover the mandatory themes and stories you want to tell.

### filter_by_access_rules
This tool removes candidate items that cannot be used due to specific security or handling restrictions.

### select_exhibition_items
This tool identifies the best set of artifacts that satisfy your theme, stories, and physical constraints.

### validate_space_requirements
This tool checks if a proposed set of items will physically fit within a specific exhibition area.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Select the best items for a 'Renaissance Art' exhibition given these candidates and a 50sqm limit.
```

**Response:** 
```
The selected items include the 'Bronze Bust of Apollo' and the 'Venetian Landscape Painting', which together satisfy the Renaissance theme and fit within the 50sqm limit.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if these three statues will fit in a gallery with a 10m width and a 2m buffer zone.
```

**Response:** 
```
The items fit within the gallery. The total required width including buffer zones is 8.5m, leaving 1.5m of remaining capacity.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How well does our current selection cover the 'Maritime History' story?
```

**Response:** 
```
The narrative strength is Strong. The selection covers 100% of the required stories, including the 'Maritime History' thread.
```
