BarMusicLive for AI assistants

Ask your AI assistant what live music is on, where, and who is playing, and get the answer from BarMusicLive's own listings. This works with Claude Desktop and any other app that supports MCP, the standard way for assistants to use outside tools.

Easiest: nothing to install

Add this address to any assistant that supports remote MCP servers (often called a custom connector):

https://barmusiclive.com/api/mcp/v1.php

No account and no key. Setup for each app, the tools, limits and examples are on BarMusicLive for AI and developers.

Or install it: Claude Desktop

1. Download barmusiclive.mcpb.
2. Open it with Claude Desktop: double-click the file, or drag it onto Settings, Extensions. Claude Desktop shows what it does; choose Install.
3. Ask Claude something like “What live music is on in Huntsville this weekend?” or “When does Otis Walker Band play next?”

Or install it: another MCP app

Download barmusiclive-mcp.js, a single file that needs Node.js 18 or later. Add it to your app’s MCP settings, for example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "barmusiclive": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/full/path/to/barmusiclive-mcp.js"]
    }
  }
}

What it can do

• Find shows by town, venue, artist, words and dates.
• Search venues by name, town, state or distance from a point, and show one venue’s upcoming dates.
• Search artists and show one artist’s upcoming dates.
• List towns with how many venues and dates each has.

Listings run about five weeks ahead. Times are the venue’s local time; check with the venue before you go.

Privacy

It runs on your computer and reads three public files from this site (upcoming shows, venues and artists). It has no account and no key, and it sends nothing about you to BarMusicLive or anyone else. What you ask your assistant is between you and your assistant’s maker.
