count_events_by_craft— Count matching events per craft. How many events match a search, per top-level craft, for the 'Jump to a craft' chips. Takes the same filters as GET /api/events (q, type, tag, state, when or from+to, near or lat+lng, radius, free, online, inperson, tz) and counts with every one of them except craft,count_events_by_state— Count upcoming events per state. Upcoming published events in the next 12 months, grouped by US state, with each state's most common craft. `by` must be `state`.get_appearance— This site's look: its theme and the season showing todayget_event— Get one event by slug. One published event with its upcoming dates and its organizer's pictures (`images`, the first is the cover). `owned` says whether an organizer manages it, and `managedBy` names that organizer (their public page's slug, name and picture) when their profile is public. A former sget_event_contact— Get an event's organizer contact. The contact name, email and phone the organizer published for this event, exactly as they wrote them. 404s when the event has neither a name nor an email/phone.

A daily snapshot (crafting-network/event-demand@1) of how many published events Crafting Event Finder lists in the next 60 days (today to today plus 60, Pacific), per network craft tag from the network manifest, most first then by tag.

An organizer's public profile (name, About, website, town and state, crafts and picture) with their published events on this site: upcoming soonest first (at most 50), then the newest 12 past.

Published, upcoming events with their next date in the window.

About MCP
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol Anthropic introduced for connecting LLM-based agents to external tools and data sources. Providers publish MCP servers that expose their API surface as structured, discoverable tools — an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, etc.) can connect to the server and call its tools without any per-provider integration code.
Browse every MCP server on the APIs.io network or compare with the broader Agent Skill surfaces of the same providers.
Work with this as data
Every MCP server here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
