Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote, read-only MCP server exposing Buffet's curated weekly lineup of real-life events and hangouts in Los Angeles, with search, event details and app links.

What you can do
  • Browse the curated weekly lineup for a city, Monday to Sunday
  • Search upcoming picks by time window, neighborhood, price, category or free text
  • Read full details for one pick: venue, address, coordinates, start time, price, tags, description and organiser page
  • Get an explanation of how Buffet works, including its social features and listing process
  • Retrieve the iOS app download link, optionally for a specific pick
When to use it
Useful when someone asks what is going on in Los Angeles this week or weekend, wants free or cheap things to do, live music, happy hours or outdoor options, or wants to join a specific pick through the Buffet app.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no sign-in, API key or environment variables are declared. Network access to the endpoint is required.
Before you install
The app link forwards through a redirect that records which assistant sent the user, so referral data is collected. Content is limited to Los Angeles and to Buffet's own curated picks. The server is read-only and does not book or pay for anything.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Buffet in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.joinbuffet%2Fbuffet/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

buffet_get_weekly_lineup

Get Buffet's weekly lineup

Get Buffet's curated lineup of real-life events and hangouts for a week in a city (Los Angeles today). Use this for "what's going on in LA this week / this weekend", "things to do in Los Angeles", or "where can I meet people this weekend". Lineups run Monday to Sunday and the picks are mostly Thursday to Sunday evenings: free concerts, festivals, art walks, happy hours, a restaurant hangout. Each pick is somewhere a person can join a table of up to six strangers through the Buffet app. Returns the picks in date order with venue, neighborhood, time (Pacific), price tier, tags, a short description, the organiser's page when there is one, and app_url (the link to join). Use buffet_search_events instead to filter by day, neighborhood, price or interest.

Parameterscityweekresponse_format

buffet_search_events

Search Buffet events

Search Buffet's upcoming curated picks by time window, neighborhood, price, category or free text. Use this for specific asks: "free things to do in LA tonight", "live music this weekend in Silver Lake", "cheap happy hours on Friday", "something outdoors on Saturday". For the whole week's list with no filters, buffet_get_weekly_lineup is simpler. Filters combine with AND. Text search matches title, venue, neighborhood, tags and description. Returns one page in date order; when more matches exist the result gives next_offset.
