Connect

This is a remote MCP server — point an MCP client at the endpoint URL. Clients with native remote support (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, …):

For stdio-only clients (older Claude Desktop, etc.), bridge with mcp-remote:

If the server requires authentication, add the provider's token/header (e.g. an X-API-Key) per its docs. A quick reachability check:

Tools

• search_shows — Search French cultural events (theater, concerts, exhibitions, kids shows, guided tours) across multiple ticket resellers. Returns canonical shows with cross-reseller offer counts, price ranges, ratings, cities and dates. Query matching tolerates noisy titles (venue/city/tour suffixes are normalized).
• whats_on — What is on in a French city on a given date — the typical "find me something to do tonight" query. Returns cultural events (theater, concerts, exhibitions…) with prices and reseller offer counts, cheapest first when a budget is given.
• get_show — Full detail of one cultural event by slug: description, canonical venue with coordinates, upcoming performance dates, and ALL live reseller offers sorted by price with booking URLs, availability and price freshness timestamps.
• compare_offers — Price comparison for one event across French ticket resellers (Fnac Spectacles, BilletReduc, L'Officiel des spectacles…). Returns each live offer with price, availability, booking URL, and how fresh the price is (verified_at). Recommends the cheapest.
• find_venues — Find French cultural venues (theaters, concert halls, museums…) by name and/or city. Returns canonical venues with coordinates and the number of shows currently playing.
• get_catalog_meta — Trust endpoint: how many shows and live offers the catalog currently holds, which resellers are covered, and when the data was last refreshed. Call this to assess data freshness before relying on prices.
• search — Search the CultureLib catalog of French cultural events (theater, concerts, exhibitions, kids shows, guided tours) and their multi-reseller ticket offers. Returns matching events as citable documents; use `fetch` with a returned id to get full detail, prices and booking links.
• fetch — Fetch the full detail of one CultureLib cultural event by its id (the slug returned by `search`): description, venue, dates, and all live reseller offers with prices, freshness and booking links, as a single citable document.

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.
