Ask with this source

A prompt for your agent that names this source and how to call it through the crw MCP.

  • All object IDs

    Use The Metropolitan Museum of Art (metmuseum) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "All object IDs" (all-objects). You are building a full local mirror of Met objectIDs and the search endpoint's hard 10,000-result paging ceiling makes enumeration impossible there. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "metmuseum" and capability "all-objects". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>

  • Objects in a department

    Use The Metropolitan Museum of Art (metmuseum) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Objects in a department" (department-objects). You want the complete membership of a curatorial department rather than a ranked page of search hits. Example options: departmentIds=11, metadataDate=2026-01-01. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "metmuseum" and capability "department-objects". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>

  • Departments

    Use The Metropolitan Museum of Art (metmuseum) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Departments" (departments). You need the numeric departmentId to filter any other call, or want to show the caller which parts of the museum exist. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "metmuseum" and capability "departments". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>

  • Object record

    Use The Metropolitan Museum of Art (metmuseum) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Object record" (object). You already have a Met objectID (from a search or a department listing) and need the artwork's actual metadata and image URLs. Example options: objectID=436535. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "metmuseum" and capability "object". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
