CI npm license

MCP server for setlist.fm — search concert setlists, artists, venues, tours, and cities from Claude via natural language. Mostly read-only (the setlist.fm REST API exposes no write endpoints), plus authenticated "I was there" attendance actions via your logged-in session.

This project was developed and is maintained by AI (Claude). Use at your own discretion.

What it does

Exposes 20 tools — 18 read-only over the setlist.fm REST API, plus 2 authenticated "I was there" attendance actions:

Utilitysetlist_healthcheck, setlist_id_from_url

Setup

Get a free API key (non-commercial use) at setlist.fm/settings/api, then add the server to your .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "setlist": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "setlist-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SETLIST_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Optional: SETLIST_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE (one of en, es, fr, de, pt, tr, it, pl) localizes city/country names.

See skills/setlist/SKILL.md for from-source setup, the full tool reference, and example flows.

Attribution & terms

Use is governed by the setlist.fm API terms. In short:

  • Attribute setlist.fm. Every result carries a url; surface it as a followable source link (no nofollow) wherever the data is shown. The tool descriptions instruct the model to do this, and results pass the url through verbatim.
  • Non-commercial only under a free key — commercial use requires setlist.fm's permission.
  • No persistent caching — this server makes a live API call per tool invocation and keeps no datastore. Please don't add one.
  • Keep your API key private — it lives in SETLIST_API_KEY (.env is gitignored) and never appears in tool output.

Development

npm install
npm run build   # tsc + esbuild bundle → dist/
npm test        # tsc typecheck + vitest

For local runs, put SETLIST_API_KEY=<key> in a .env file (gitignored) next to the project root.
