Ticketmaster Live Events MCP server

This MCP Live Events Server integrates with the Ticketmaster API to provide real-time event data to AI agents, allowing them to fetch concert and event details dynamically in a format optimized for LLM interpretation.

Features

• 🎟️ Integrates with the Ticketmaster API to search for events
• 🗣️ Formats API responses for ease of LLM interpretation

Installation

Prerequisites

Before installing the MCP Live Events Server, make sure you have:

• uv for package management
• Python 3.13 or higher
• A Ticketmaster API key (free but rate limited)

Setting Up the Server

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mmmaaatttttt/mcp-live-events.git
   cd mcp-live-events
   

2. Install dependencies:

   uv venv
   uv sync
   

3. Configure your Ticketmaster API key using one of these methods:

   • Create a .env file in the repository root (use .env.example as a template)
   • Add the API key to the "env" section in your MCP client configuration

   Note that Ticketmaster refers to the API key as "Consumer Key" in their developer portal.

Usage

Starting the Server

Run the server with:

uv run mcp-live-events

When successfully started, you'll see the message MCP Live Event server is running! in your terminal.

Connecting to the Server

Once the server is running, you can connect to it through any MCP-compatible client to access real-time event data from Ticketmaster. The server will handle API requests and return formatted responses that are optimized for AI agent interpretation.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "mcp-live-events" '{"command":"uv","args":["run","mcp-live-events"],"env":{"TICKETMASTER_API_KEY":""}}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-live-events": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "run",
                "mcp-live-events"
            ],
            "env": {
                "TICKETMASTER_API_KEY": ""
            }
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-live-events": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "run",
                "mcp-live-events"
            ],
            "env": {
                "TICKETMASTER_API_KEY": ""
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
