For AI assistants

Ask your assistant what's on.

Place to Be works inside Claude, ChatGPT and any assistant that speaks MCP. Ask what is on in a city tonight, this weekend or this week, and the answer comes from the live, ranked board: 34,574 upcoming events in 282 cities, refreshed every two hours. Free, with no account and no key.

Any other assistant

Any client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP can use the server URL as it is. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to authorise.

Try asking

  • What's on in Lisbon this weekend?
  • Find the biggest concerts in London this week.
  • Is there any football in Madrid tonight?
  • I'm in New York on Saturday. What should I not miss?
  • Which cities in the Netherlands have events tonight?

What it can do

Find eventssearch_events
Find the events worth going to in a city, a country or worldwide, ranked by how big a moment each is (a 0-100 score from expected crowd and timing) or by start time, optionally only those matching a name (an artist, team, show or venue).
List covered citieslist_cities
List the cities that currently have a live events board, with how many upcoming events each holds, biggest first.
Get event detailsget_event
Get one event in full: description, venue and address, coordinates, local start and end, score with its reason, and the ticketing or official source page.

Why the answers hold up

Events come from live feeds (ticketing, sports fixtures, nightlife listings and city open data), the same event listed by several feeds is merged into one, and each carries a 0 to 100 score for how big a moment it is, with a one-line reason. Place to Be sells no tickets and no placement, so nobody can pay for a higher rank. Your assistant gets each event's page link, so you can check the details and find tickets at the source.

How the ranking works

For developers

  • Endpoint POST https://placetobe.cc/mcp, Streamable HTTP, stateless, CORS-open.
  • Protocol revision 2026-07-28, plus the handshake revisions 2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26 for clients that still use them.
  • Tools only, all read-only, each with an output schema for structured results.
  • The same data as JSON, RSS and calendar feeds: feeds and embeds, and a machine-readable summary at /llms.txt.
