Connects Claude to the Victoria and Albert Museum's collections API through the Pipeworx gateway. The source doesn't list specific tools, but you'd typically use this to search and retrieve data about artworks, objects, and exhibitions from one of the world's largest decorative arts collections. Part of Pipeworx's 826+ data source network, so you can either hit this museum endpoint directly or use the unified gateway with ask_pipeworx to query in plain English. Useful when building cultural apps, research tools, or chatbots that need access to historical artifacts and museum metadata. Runs over streamable HTTP, so no local installation needed.
Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) Collections MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 826+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"va-museum": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/va-museum/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 826+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Va Museum data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
