Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Catchaset every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

events

find_events

Find upcoming live-music events in a supported city (Austin or Chicago), filtered by free-text query, date range, and/or genre. Returns taste-neutral event records with source attribution, ticket links, and a freshness timestamp — the same public data catchaset.live shows signed-out visitors. Does NOT rank by personal taste. Results are capped per call; page with the returned next_cursor.

live

find_live_shows

Given a list of artists the user likes, find upcoming shows in a supported city (Austin or Chicago) where one of those artists is on the bill, ranked (most matches first, then soonest). Taste is a PARAMETER — no account or login needed. Each result includes why_matched (which of the user's artists plays). This is direct-artist matching; genre-based discovery of *similar* artists is available in the CatchaSet web app, not here.

Operational state of the CatchaSet event feed: per-city event counts, data sources, last-refresh time, staleness, and coverage. No input. Call this to check health/coverage before relying on find_events.

Catchaset — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Catchaset do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_events, find_live_shows, overview. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Catchaset working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 257 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Catchaset?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Catchaset need an API key?

No. Catchaset completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Catchaset?

It answers our handshake in 257 ms on average, which is faster than 53% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
