Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that gives an assistant setlist.fm concert data: setlists, artists, venues, cities, tours and users, plus "I was there" attendance marking.

What you can do
  • Search and read artists, including their setlists by MusicBrainz ID
  • Search and read setlists, including full song lists, encores and historical versions
  • Search and read venues, cities and countries, with IDs for filtering
  • Read public user profiles, attended concerts and edited setlists
  • Resolve up to 24 artist/date/city/venue concerts to setlists in one call
  • Mark or unmark shows as attended on your own account, parse setlist IDs from URLs, and run a healthcheck
When to use it
Useful when you want to ask an assistant about live music: what a band played on a given night, which shows happened at a venue, or which concerts a user attended. Also handy for keeping your own setlist.fm attendance list up to date from a chat.
Requirements
Runs locally via npx (Node.js). A free setlist.fm API key in SETLIST_API_KEY is required for the read tools. The two attendance write tools need a logged-in setlist.fm session, supplied either as SETLIST_SESSION_COOKIE or through the ContextMint Bridge browser extension (Chrome). Optional SETLIST_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE and SETLIST_DISABLE_FETCHPROXY. Network access to setlist.fm.
Before you install
SETLIST_SESSION_COOKIE is a logged-in session cookie that grants access to your setlist.fm account; the browser bridge variant reads that cookie from your browser. The attendance tools change data on your account, though both are idempotent and reversible. The free API key is for non-commercial use only, and setlist.fm's terms require followable attribution links and no persistent caching. The README states the project is AI-maintained and used at your own discretion.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

MCP server for setlist.fm — search concert setlists, artists, venues, tours, and cities from Claude via natural language. Mostly read-only (the setlist.fm REST API exposes no write endpoints), plus authenticated "I was there" attendance actions via your logged-in session.

This project was developed and is maintained by AI (Claude). Use at your own discretion.

What it does

Exposes 20 tools — 18 read-only over the setlist.fm REST API, plus 2 authenticated "I was there" attendance actions:

Utilitysetlist_healthcheck, setlist_id_from_url

Setup

Get a free API key (non-commercial use) at setlist.fm/settings/api, then add the server to your .mcp.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "setlist": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "setlist-mcp"],      "env": {        "SETLIST_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"      }    }  }}

Optional: SETLIST_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE (one of en, es, fr, de, pt, tr, it, pl) localizes city/country names.

The attendance tools (setlist_mark_attended / setlist_unmark_attended) need your logged-in www.setlist.fm session. Either set SETLIST_SESSION_COOKIE to the Cookie header of a logged-in request, or install ContextMint Bridge (Chrome: load the chrome zip unpacked; Safari isn't available yet — it will ship inside the ContextMint app, which has no public download — so use Chrome for now) and stay signed in to www.setlist.fm — the server lifts the session cookie from your browser on first use. Set SETLIST_DISABLE_FETCHPROXY=1 to turn the browser fallback off.

ContextMint Bridge is the fetchproxy browser extension under its new name, from the same maintainer — fetchproxy's own README points to it. Its source is public at nullnet-app/contextmint-bridge: build it yourself, or check a release zip against the .sha256 file published beside it (shasum -a 256 -c contextmint-bridge-chrome-<version>.zip.sha256).

See skills/setlist/SKILL.md for from-source setup, the full tool reference, and example flows.

Attribution & terms

Use is governed by the setlist.fm API terms. In short:

  • Attribute setlist.fm. Every result carries a url; surface it as a followable source link (no nofollow) wherever the data is shown. The tool descriptions instruct the model to do this, and results pass the url through verbatim.
  • Non-commercial only under a free key — commercial use requires setlist.fm's permission.
  • No persistent caching — this server makes a live API call per tool invocation and keeps no datastore. Please don't add one.
  • Keep your API key private — it lives in SETLIST_API_KEY (.env is gitignored) and never appears in tool output.

Development

bash
npm installnpm run build   # tsc + esbuild bundle → dist/npm test        # tsc typecheck + vitest

For local runs, put SETLIST_API_KEY=<key> in a .env file (gitignored) next to the project root.

setlist_search_setlists

Search setlist.fm for concert setlists. Filter by any combination of artist, venue, city, country, tour, date, or year (provide at least one). Combine filters to disambiguate — artistName + date can span multiple cities, so add cityName/cityId or venueName/venueId to pin the exact show. Omit the artist and pass venueName/venueId + date to list EVERY performer at a venue or festival that day. Every result includes songCount, setCount, and hasSongs, so you can skip empty 'stub' setlists (hasSongs: false) without a second fetch. Results include a setlist.fm `url`; when you present this data, cite it as a clickable source link to setlist.fm (their API terms require followable attribution — no nofollow). If a result has no `url`, link to https://www.setlist.fm instead.

ParameterspviewuserIdrequired

setlist_resolve_concerts

Resolve many concerts to their setlists in ONE call (instead of 2+ per show). Given up to 24 `{artist, date, city?, venue?}`, returns the best-match setlist for each — `{setlistId, url, eventDate, artist, venue, city, tour, songCount, hasSongs}` — plus a `{matched, stubs, tourReferenced, unmatched, pending, errored}` summary. For each: searches artist + date (narrowed by your city/venue), and on a miss falls back to a relevance artist lookup (by mbid) and a punctuation-normalized name so format variants still resolve. `hasSongs: false` flags an empty stub page (no songs logged on setlist.fm). When a show is a stub, if the act toured a repeating set the result also includes a `tourReference` — a populated setlist from the SAME tour on a different date (with `songs` + its own `url`), clearly labeled as a reference, NOT this exact show (set `tourFallback: false` to skip these extra lookups). Calls are paced to setlist.fm's ~2 req/sec limit; if a big batch can't finish within the time budget the rest come back `pending: true` (re-call with just those) rather than timing out. A concert whose lookup fails upstream comes back with `match: null` and an `error` message (counted in `errored`) while the rest of the batch still resolves — re-call with just those. A missing or rejected API key (401/403) fails the whole call at once instead, since no concert could resolve. Keep batches ≤24. Results include a setlist.fm `url`; when you present this data, cite it as a clickable source link to setlist.fm (their API terms require followable attribution — no nofollow). If a result has no `url`, link to https://www.setlist.fm instead.

ParametersconcertsrequiredtourFallback

setlist_mark_attended

Record on YOUR setlist.fm account that you attended a show — the site's "I was there" marker — by setlist ID. Authenticated via your setlist.fm session — SETLIST_SESSION_COOKIE, or a signed-in browser tab via the fetchproxy bridge. Idempotent: a no-op if already marked. Reversible with setlist_unmark_attended. Toggles attendance and verifies by re-reading the setlist page. Returns `attended`, `changed` and `verified`. `verified: true` means the page shows the requested state. If `verified` is false, the toggle could not be checked: `attended` holds the state the re-read saw, or null if the page was unreadable, and `changed` is false — check the show on setlist.fm before reporting success. Results include a setlist.fm `url`; when you present this data, cite it as a clickable source link to setlist.fm (their API terms require followable attribution — no nofollow). If a result has no `url`, link to https://www.setlist.fm instead.

ParameterssetlistIdrequired

setlist_unmark_attended

Remove a show from YOUR attended list on setlist.fm, by setlist ID (reverses setlist_mark_attended). Authenticated via your setlist.fm session — SETLIST_SESSION_COOKIE, or a signed-in browser tab via the fetchproxy bridge. Idempotent: a no-op if not currently attended. Reversible with setlist_mark_attended. Removes the attendance and verifies by re-reading the setlist page. Returns `attended`, `changed` and `verified`. `verified: true` means the page shows the requested state. If `verified` is false, the toggle could not be checked: `attended` holds the state the re-read saw, or null if the page was unreadable, and `changed` is false — check the show on setlist.fm before reporting success. Results include a setlist.fm `url`; when you present this data, cite it as a clickable source link to setlist.fm (their API terms require followable attribution — no nofollow). If a result has no `url`, link to https://www.setlist.fm instead.

ParameterssetlistIdrequired

setlist_id_from_url

Extract a setlist ID from a setlist.fm URL

Parse the setlist ID out of a setlist.fm setlist URL so you can paste a link instead of hunting for the ID. Returns {setlistId} (the trailing hex token before .html), ready to feed into setlist_get_setlist / setlist_mark_attended. Scoped to /setlist/ pages — artist (/setlists/) and venue (/venue/) URLs are rejected. Tolerates http/https, with/without www, trailing slash, query/fragment, and a missing .html. Pure local parsing — no network call. Errors if no ID can be parsed.

Parametersurlrequired

setlist_healthcheck

Verify setlist.fm API key + connectivity

Confirm the API key is configured and works by calling the setlist.fm countries endpoint. Reports {ok, authenticated, country_count} with a plain-English hint distinguishing "no key" vs "bad key" vs "API error". Read-only.

Takes no parameters.
