Iconclass MCP Research Skill

Research workflows for the Iconclass MCP server — a universal art-subject taxonomy with ~1.3M notations across 13 languages. Use this skill whenever the user wants to explore iconographic subjects, find Iconclass notation codes, browse the classification hierarchy, discover what subjects exist for a theme, or find Rijksmuseum artworks by iconographic subject. This server is the companion vocabulary layer to rijksmuseum-mcp+ — notation codes discovered here should be passed directly to search_artwork(iconclass=...) there. Also use when the user mentions Iconclass, subject classification, iconography, art-historical taxonomy, what an artwork depicts, iconographic meaning, or subject-matter searches — even if they don't name the server.
