How many museums are included in this MCP?

The MCP provides access to approximately 500 museums in Moscow.

Can I find opening hours for these venues?

Yes, the find_museums, find_theatres, and find_libraries capabilities provide opening hours for the listed institutions.

Does this MCP provide information in English?

The Wikipedia summaries provided by the cultural_institution capability are in Russian.

Can I search for museums by their specific collection type?

Yes, you can filter museums by types such as art, history, science, military, and more.

How does the proximity search work?

You can provide a point or location, and the capabilities will return venues near those coordinates.

Do I need an API key?

No. Every source is keyless and global: OpenStreetMap (Overpass + Nominatim), Open-Meteo and Russian Wikipedia. The MCP defines no credentials.

Why two views. map and Wikipedia?

The listings come from Russian Wikipedia’s curated categories (120+ museums, 32 theatres, 37 libraries). The find_* capabilities give the map view with coordinates; the listing capabilities give the curated encyclopaedia view.

Why are the counts bigger than the rows I get?

Yes. OSM maps most large venues as areas (museum buildings, theatre blocks), and every list capability uses the nwr selector, so nodes, ways and relations all count.

Can I find museums near a point?

Pass lat + lon (and optionally km, 0.1–25) and the query narrows to a radius instead of the whole city. Do it before a long list. a citywide scan is capped at 200 rows.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

OpenStreetMap + Russian Wikipedia works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put OpenStreetMap + Russian Wikipedia to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
