VenuNite Events

Find US concerts, comedy, theater, trivia, festivals, community events, and family activities by place, date, interests, and budget. Results include event details and source links. Coverage varies by location.

This repository contains public client configurations for VenuNite's hosted MCP server. Search needs no account, API key, or local server installation. Client subscriptions and model usage are governed by the client provider.

Streamable HTTP endpoint: https://mcp.venunite.com/v1/mcp/

Free personal access and paid use

Anonymous access also has shared-network abuse limits and a 10,000-result-row daily allowance per source IP. Clients must retain the server-issued session to keep a session allowance. Free keys have a 10,000-result-row daily allowance per account. The two access modes use the same event search and coverage.

Commercial products, bulk extraction, and REST API use require the appropriate paid plan. Check the MCP page for current limits and the service terms for permitted use. No signup is required to try personal event search.

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/isaacaskew/venunite-events

Restart Gemini CLI, then inspect /mcp to confirm discovery. This extension enables search_events only, so every bundled tool works without credentials.

The manifest follows the Gemini extension format. It connects over HTTP and contains no executable hooks or local server code. Installing it directly does not depend on a gallery listing.

Claude Code

Install the plugin from VenuNite's repository marketplace:

claude plugin marketplace add isaacaskew/venunite-events
claude plugin install venunite-events@venunite

Or add only the hosted connector:

claude mcp add --transport http venunite-events https://mcp.venunite.com/v1/mcp/

See the Claude marketplace documentation. This repository marketplace is separate from approval in the public Claude Directory.

Claude, Perplexity, Grok, Mistral, and other remote MCP clients

In the client's custom connector settings, add the endpoint above and choose no authentication for event search. The client must support Streamable HTTP. Availability depends on the client's plan and administrator settings.

• Claude custom connectors

• Perplexity remote connectors

• Grok custom MCP connectors

• Mistral Vibe Work MCP connectors (administrator setup)

Custom installation does not imply approval or inclusion in a provider's catalog.

GitHub Copilot / VS Code

Merge the mcpServers entry from .mcp.json into your project's .mcp.json. For the VS Code configuration format, merge configs/vscode.json into .vscode/mcp.json instead. Preserve your existing server entries. Start the server using VS Code's MCP controls and review its tools before use.

VS Code MCP documentation

Cursor

This repository includes a Cursor plugin manifest at .cursor-plugin/plugin.json, which connects to the hosted server without credentials. Marketplace listing requires Cursor's separate review; the manifest alone does not mean it is listed.

Merge configs/cursor.json into .cursor/mcp.json in your project or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for your user. Preserve existing entries.

Windsurf / Devin Desktop Cascade

Open the MCP config file from Cascade's Actions menu, then merge the server entry in configs/cascade.json. The current desktop documentation calls this product Devin Desktop. Enable the server and review the tool list in its MCP controls.

Tools and optional authentication

Clients that discover every server tool will see create_ticket_handoff, but anonymous calls to it return authentication_required. Search results already include VenuNite event pages with ticket links when available.

For optional authenticated access, create your own key at VenuNite developer keys, then configure your client's secret/header mechanism to send Authorization: Bearer <key>. Never commit a real key. Gemini users can add an authenticated server in their own settings if they need the handoff tool; the bundled extension stays keyless.

A handoff does not purchase tickets, reserve inventory, or guarantee availability or final prices. The user reviews its page and explicitly selects Continue before leaving for the external ticket seller. Automated clients must leave that decision to the user.

The server receives tool arguments and connection metadata. Calls record quota and request telemetry. An uncached named location may be sent to the public Nominatim geocoder. The connector does not request whole conversation histories, local files, calendars, or email access.

Try it

• Find live music in Denver this weekend under $30. Include dates and links.

• Find free community events in Denver next weekend.

• Find family-friendly activities in Boulder tomorrow.

Use a specific city and date window. Verify current event details with the linked venue or organizer; an empty search means no matching served events.

Development

The server runs on VenuNite infrastructure; this repository contains only configuration and documentation. Validate the Claude manifests with:

claude plugin validate .claude-plugin/plugin.json --strict
claude plugin validate .claude-plugin/marketplace.json --strict
