## Tools
- met_list_departments (List Met Departments) - Return the 19 curatorial departments at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, each with its numeric departmentId and display name — the valid values for the met_search_collections departmentId filter. Endpoint: https://met-museum.caseyjhand.com/mcp
- met_search_collections (Search Met Collection) - Search the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection by keyword and optional filters. Returns the total match count and a page of matching object IDs, which met_get_object resolves to full records. Relevance is keyword-based, not semantic; department and geographic filters narrow results more than a longer query. The medium parameter maps to the classification field (pass "Paintings", "Drawings", etc., not material descriptions like "Oil on canvas"). isPublicDomain guarantees CC0-licensed images; hasImages also includes copyrighted works. isOnView restricts results to works currently on display in a Met gallery. Endpoint: https://met-museum.caseyjhand.com/mcp
- met_get_object (Get Met Objects) - Fetch full records for one or more Met Museum object IDs. Accepts up to 20 IDs per call and returns partial success — a single 404 does not fail the whole batch; per-ID failures are reported separately. Object IDs come from met_search_collections. Non-public-domain objects return empty image URLs. The constituents array is null for anonymous or unattributed works; tags is null for untagged objects. Endpoint: https://met-museum.caseyjhand.com/mcp
