Est-ce que io.github.cyanheads/smithsonian-mcp-server est sûr ?

Au dernier audit MCP Hub, le serveur MCP « io.github.cyanheads/smithsonian-mcp-server » est classé « Non encore testé ». Référencé dans l'annuaire. Seul le pentest comportemental fait foi, et il n'a pas encore été exécuté sur ce serveur. Le verdict est réévalué en continu ; consultez la fiche pour l'état à jour.

Méthode : MCP Hub analyse la description de chaque outil (couche 1) et, pour le verdict fort, exécute le serveur dans une micro-VM isolée avec leurres et réseau bloqué (couche 2). On publie des noms et des compteurs, jamais le contenu brut renvoyé par un outil.

• smithsonian_browse_category≈ 1784 tokens

  Browse Smithsonian objects within one exact category — a single museum (mode "museum"), culture, indexed date term (mode "period"), object type (mode "medium"), or subject term (mode "topic"). The value must be an exact indexed category term, not free text: resolve museum, culture, period, and topic vocabulary with smithsonian_list_terms first (object_type is not enumerable there — harvest it from smithsonian_search_objects results, and treat each casing as its own category, since a harvested object_type covers only the casing it was written in). Returns the category total count, a page of matching objects, and a museum breakdown of that page; page the full category with start and rows. For open-ended or topic discovery, start with smithsonian_search_objects instead.

  • mode · string · requis · museum | culture | period | medium | topic
    Browse dimension: "museum" (by unit code), "culture" (by culture term), "period" (by indexed date term like "1940s" or "500-1500"), "medium" (by object type like "Paintings"), "topic" (by subject term like "Quilts").
  • rows · integer · optionnel
    Number of sample objects to return (default 10, max 50).
  • start · integer · optionnel
    Pagination offset — 0-indexed. Page contiguously with start = page × rows.
  • value · string · requis
    Category value appropriate to the mode. museum: a unit code like "NASM", "SAAM", or "NMNHBIRDS", matched literally and case-sensitively — not a museum name. culture: term, often plural or qualified ("Aztecs", "Plains Indian"). period: an indexed date term — commonly a decade ("1940s", "1860s"), but year ranges ("500-1500"), century terms ("21st century"), and BCE forms ("-2500", "BCE 1000s") are indexed too. medium: object type, usually plural ("Paintings", "Aircraft"). topic: subject term ("Quilts", "Aviation"). Smithsonian uses a controlled vocabulary — for museum (unit_code), culture, period (date), and topic, call smithsonian_list_terms to find exact terms; medium (object_type) is not enumerable there, so harvest it from smithsonian_search_objects results. Every mode matches its value exactly and case-sensitively, and for medium that split is load-bearing: casing variants are indexed as SEPARATE categories, each reporting its own total_count ("button" and "Button" are different categories, and neither casing is reliably the larger), so browse the variants of a harvested value rather than assuming one covers the concept.

• smithsonian_find_related≈ 1964 tokens

  Discover objects across Smithsonian collections related to a given anchor object, matched on shared metadata signals — culture, period, object type, named parties, and topic terms. Each related object is tagged with the signals that connected it to the anchor; a named-party signal carries the catalog's own role for that party (maker, Collector, Donor, issuing authority, …), not a fixed "maker" label. Matches surface across museums — an NASM aerospace anchor can pull related objects from NMNHPALEO, SAAM, and NMAH.

• smithsonian_get_media≈ 1210 tokens

  Return every CC0 (open-access) image for a Smithsonian object at multiple resolutions. The tool never returns an empty list — it names the reason instead: an object with nothing digitized, an object whose media is entirely non-image (scanned books, 3D models, sound recordings), and an object whose images are entirely non-CC0 each fail with their own reason. Each image entry includes thumbnail (~120px), screen-size (~800px), and high-resolution JPEG/TIFF URLs with pixel dimensions. The cc0_only filter on smithsonian_search_objects surfaces objects that have downloadable CC0 images.

• smithsonian_get_object≈ 2305 tokens

  Fetch a normalized catalog metadata projection for a Smithsonian object by its record_id (from smithsonian_search_objects results). Returns title, dates, description, labeled notes, makers, materials, dimensions, places, cultures, topics, exhibitions, credit line, identifiers, rights, and a media summary. Natural-history records can include scientific_names, taxonomy, and collection coordinates without inferred precision. The media summary is a count; full image URLs come from smithsonian_get_media.

• smithsonian_list_terms≈ 1260 tokens

  Enumerate the valid term vocabulary for an indexed Smithsonian filter field (unit_code, culture, place, date, online_media_type, topic). Terms are a controlled vocabulary — often plural or qualified (e.g. "Paintings", not "Painting") — so guessed filter values tend to return nothing. Returns a page of the field's distinct term values; large vocabularies (topic has 133k terms, place 114k) page via start and rows. For unit_code, each code is returned with its museum name and contains matches the name as well as the code, so a museum name resolves to its code in one call.

  • rows · integer · optionnel
    Number of terms to return per page (default 50, max 100).
  • field · string · requis · unit_code | culture | place | date | online_media_type | topic
    Indexed field to enumerate. Choices: unit_code (museum codes like "NASM"), culture (e.g. "Aztecs"), place (geographic terms), date (decade/era values like "1920s"), online_media_type (media formats like "Images", "3D Models"), topic (subject terms like "Quilts" — 133k terms, so pair it with contains).
  • start · integer · optionnel
    Pagination offset (0-indexed). Use with rows to page through large vocabularies.
  • contains · string · optionnel
    Case-insensitive substring filter on the term vocabulary — resolve a filter value (e.g. "greek") to its exact controlled-vocabulary term(s). For unit_code the substring also matches each code's museum name, so "National Air and Space" resolves to "NASM".

• smithsonian_search_objects≈ 2523 tokens

  Recommended first step for open-ended or topic discovery: free-text search across 14.5 million Smithsonian objects, with optional exact filters. Filters narrow by museum unit, object type, indexed date term, culture, geographic place, subject topic, named party, and online/CC0 availability. Returns curated summaries (title, date, museum, thumbnail URL, CC0 flag) with the total match count. The record_id in each result is the identifier for smithsonian_get_object, smithsonian_find_related, and smithsonian_get_media. To browse one exact category — a single museum, culture, date term, object type, or topic — use smithsonian_browse_category instead.
