Connection: Runs in the cloud
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Category: Search & AI memory
You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http provenio https://provenio.art/api/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

Common questions

Is Provenio — Art Intelligence safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.4.2) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Provenio — Art Provenance MCP

Provenance and market intelligence for AI agents. A 282,731-node knowledge graph over 273,378 art-market transactions — the Getty Provenance Index, the Knoedler stock books (1872–1971), ERR and wartime-restitution records — served to any MCP-compliant client.

Every answer is cited. Custody gaps are named, never guessed. Hallucination is held under 1%, verified by an externally reproducible evaluation harness rather than self-report. Where the record is silent, Provenio returns an explicit gap — it never asserts clean title.

🌐 https://provenio.art · Free open beta — no key, no card.

Quick start

Add the remote server to any MCP client:

https://provenio.art/api/mcp

Claude (claude.ai / Desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL
ChatGPT (MCP enabled): add as a connector — search / fetch compatible
Cursor / other clients: streamable-http transport, no auth header needed

Open beta: 5,000 queries/month per IP, all 27 tools, full corpus. Need a higher cap? Write to ceo@provenio.art.

Honesty engineering

Provenio's design contract, in one line: *no model memorises art history — Provenio lets any model cite it.* Every response binds to a verifiable source row; absences come back as named coverage_gaps; the evaluation harness that certifies the <1% hallucination rate is re-runnable against the live API.
