What is the Harvard Art Museums MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire art history research and collection auditing workflow with Harvard Art Museums, the authoritative source for global art metadata. By connecting the Harvard Art Museums API to your agent, you transform complex object searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly search for art objects across various periods, audit artist portfolios, and retrieve detailed exhibition metadata without you ever touching a museum portal. Whether you are conducting academic research or scouting visual inspiration, your agent acts as a real-time art curator, ensuring your data is always grounded in official, museum-verified records.
What you can do
- Object Auditing — Search for thousands of art objects by title or artist and retrieve detailed metadata, including periods and medium info.
- Artist Oversight — Browse artist profiles and identify their contributions to the museum collection to maintain a clear view of their work.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Harvard Art Museums API Key?
Request a free API Key by filling out the form on the Harvard Art Museums API portal. Your key will be sent to you via email.
Can the agent show images of the art?
Yes. The search_museum_objects and get_object_details tools retrieve primary image URLs for objects where available in the digital collection.
Is it possible to search for specific artists?
Yes. Use the search_museum_people tool providing the artist's name. Your agent will return their profile ID and identifying metadata instantly.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Harvard Art Museums tools during their conversation turns.

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
