## What it does

This server gives your assistant access to art provenance records and active listings. It supplies Origin Passports alongside on-chain Ethereum proofs to confirm authenticity for listed pieces.

The service runs as a remote HTTP endpoint at `https://ruthven.ai/api/ruthven/mcp`. You need an active internet connection. There are no local runtime packages to install.
