open-museum-mcp (cfpramod/open-museum-mcp) is an MCP server listed on the M8ven Trust Index. M8ven has not graded it: we have no way to read this server ourselves. No publisher has claimed this listing.
Federated, license-verified search across open-access museum collections — currently The Met, Cleveland, AIC, Wikimedia Commons, and Europeana, with more being added. Strict-default-deny rights gate accepts only CC0 / Public Domain Mark, returning reuse-safe artwork with citations in three styles.
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

Install from
M8ven verifies MCPs across every public registry — install directly from whichever one you prefer.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK does not enable DNS rebinding protection by default
EUROPEANA_API_KEYHARVARD_API_KEYOMM_CACHE_PATHNo file writes from user input. The cache directory is created at ~/.open-museum-mcp/cache.db (or wherever points) with mode 0o700 and the cache file at 0o600; no fetcher rehosts media bytes locally.SI_API_KEYSMITHSONIAN_API_KEYTool annotations
No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
7/7 tools missing one or more hints — search_artworks (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_artwork (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); cite (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +4 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Tool test coverage
5/7 tools referenced in tests (71%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Secrets not logged
3 secret values sent to console.log
Redact or omit secret values from log output.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.0.4 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
