Available tools 4

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

cities

list_cities

List the cities gigstamp currently covers, with their listing URLs. Call this first: only these cities return data.

gig

get_gig

Get one gig by its slug within a supported city.

gigs

search_gigs_and_events

Search a supported city's upcoming live music and events: band gigs, open mics, comedy nights, jam and folk sessions, festivals, and club nights, spanning grassroots gigs at small independent venues through to major shows at the city's big rooms (the local grassroots scene is front and centre, but coverage aims to be complete). Returns them most imminent first, each with a booking link out (gigstamp does not sell tickets) and a gig-page url to cite. Filter by date range, venue, category, scale (grassroots or major), or free text. Only supported cities return data (see list_cities).

venues

list_venues

List the venues gigstamp tracks in a supported city, from small independent rooms to the city's larger touring venues. Each carries a scale (grassroots|major).

Gigstamp — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Gigstamp do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_gig, list_cities, list_venues, search_gigs_and_events. 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 Gigstamp 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 420 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Gigstamp?

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

Does Gigstamp need an API key?

No. Gigstamp completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Gigstamp?

It answers our handshake in 420 ms on average, which is faster than 33% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
