Data MCP & API | LocalBeat

MCP server

Point any MCP-compatible client (Claude, Cursor, and others) at:

https://localbeat.com/api/mcp

Or drop this into your client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "localbeat": {
      "url": "https://localbeat.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Use it in Claude

LocalBeat works as a Claude connector. Find LocalBeat in the Claude connectors directory and select Connect. Or add it directly: open Settings, choose Connectors, select Add custom connector, and paste the endpoint above. No account or API key required.

Then ask Claude what's happening near you. It searches LocalBeat in conversation.

Tools

`search_events`	Search events by place, date, and type. Location is a city, ZIP code, or coordinates. Dates are plain language: tonight, this weekend, next Friday. Filter by tag, set a radius, sort by date, distance, or name.
`get_search_facets`	See what kinds of events are near a location, with counts for each type. Returns the tag codes `search_events` accepts as filters.
`get_event_details`	The full record for an event: description, venue and address, start and end times, and a ticket link when the event is ticketed.

All three tools are read-only. The server reads event data and writes nothing.

Try asking

"What's happening in Denver this weekend?"

"Find trivia nights near 80202 tonight."

"Live music within five miles of downtown Austin next Friday."

"What kinds of events are near me this week?"

REST API

Coming soon

A REST API over the same data is in development. We're finalizing the endpoints and documentation, and we'll publish them here once they're verified.
