What can you do with Provenio — Art Intelligence?

  • get_provenance_chain — full custody chain with verification state and risk-window flags; always returns checked_databases
  • search_auction_history — lot-level prices with optional P25/50/75/90 percentile summary in one call
  • find_comparable_artworks — era-precise, market-guarded comparables
  • get_influence_network / get_reception_arc — scholarly influence and verbatim critical reception with source refs
  • byok_external_query — federate your own Artnet/Artprice/gallery-DB credentials (SSRF-guarded)

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

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.
