Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

artwork
get_artwork
Full detail for one artwork: attribution, medium, dimensions, edition structure, provenance, seller, and every individual impression that can be bought with its own price and availability. A numbered edition has one entry per impression — including artist proofs (AP), printer proofs (PP), and the bon à tirer (BAT), which are separate objects from the numbered run and usually priced differently. Attributes are as stated by the seller, and a null means unspecified rather than estimated. Also returns TEMPORARY image URLs — show them to the buyer, but honour `expires_at` and re-fetch rather than caching or redistributing them. Use this before presenting a work to a buyer, and quote the `impression` label exactly as given.
artworks
search_artworks
Search original artworks by natural-language description of what the buyer wants — subject, mood, palette, texture, period, scale. Matches on MEANING rather than keywords, so "a moody blue seascape" finds work no keyword search would. IMPORTANT: the query text is matched on meaning ONLY. A budget written into it — "under 20k" — is NOT applied; pass min_price_usd and max_price_usd instead, or you will get results outside the buyer’s range and not know it. The same is true of provenance strength (trust_tier). Returns only works that are purchasable now; include_sold adds works that have sold. Works taken off sale are never returned. Attributes such as medium and year are as stated by the seller; a null means the seller did not specify it. IMPORTANT: check the `completeness` field before telling a buyer this is everything available — "partial" means more may exist beyond what was scanned.
availability
check_availability
Re-check whether specific impressions are still purchasable, immediately before presenting them to a buyer or attempting a purchase. Each work here is unique or from a small edition, so an impression can sell between search and checkout. ALWAYS call this before offering a specific impression — offering a sold original is worse than offering nothing.

Fold Laboratories Art Catalogue — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Fold Laboratories Art Catalogue do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_availability, get_artwork, search_artworks. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Fold Laboratories Art Catalogue working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 422 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Fold Laboratories Art Catalogue still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Fold Laboratories Art Catalogue?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Fold Laboratories Art Catalogue need an API key?
No. Fold Laboratories Art Catalogue completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Fold Laboratories Art Catalogue?
It answers our handshake in 422 ms on average, which is faster than 35% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
