Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Event Synoptic every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
event
get_event
Get full details of one event by its id (from search_events results), including `provenance` (source, last_seen_at, still_listed, price_as_of, confidence) and venue facilities.
get_event_history
Change-only history of what the source said about an event over time: price moves, sold-out, date shifts, delisting/cancellation, with when we first saw the listing. Use it to answer "is the price going up or down", "was this rescheduled" or "has this been removed". History starts 2026-08-22; points are recorded only when something changed.
bars
find_bars
Find Los Angeles bars and nightclubs: by vibe (cocktail, rooftop, dive, techno...), near a location, or with happy hour running right now. Includes ratings, hours, happy hour info and links.
best
get_best_ticket_prices
Compare ticket prices for an event across marketplaces (Ticketmaster, Gametime, StubHub, Vivid Seats...). Gametime prices are fetched LIVE. Returns buy links sorted cheapest first.
events
search_events
Search upcoming Los Angeles events (concerts, parties, theater, family, sport and more). Returns compact JSON with venue, date, price-from, artists and a tickets link. Each event carries `rating` (1-13 composite: data quality plus real demand) and `popularity` (headliner fan count, whether they are charting now, and how many ticket sites list the event) — use them to surface the biggest shows first. Filter by free-text query, category tags, date range, location radius, budget or min_rating. `badge` narrows to audiences no other catalogue indexes: sensory-friendly showings, museum free-admission days, events free or discounted with EBT, dog-friendly events, and 21+ vs all-ages. Tag `#markets` returns flea, vintage and night market days — a category absent from every ticketing feed, because entry is paid at the gate. Those events carry a `market` block (admission tiers with entry times, vendor count, cash-only gate, opening hours, open_now). Every event carries `provenance`: which source it came from, when that source last still listed it (last_seen_at), whether it has since been removed or cancelled there, when the price was captured (price_as_of) and an overall `confidence` (high/medium/low). Prefer high-confidence events and tell the user to verify low-confidence ones.
museums
find_museums
Find Los Angeles museums and galleries: art, history, science, film, kids, cars, gardens, photography. Answers the two questions ticketing APIs cannot: WHEN IS IT FREE (many LA museums are permanently free, others only on a recurring rule such as "second Tuesday of the month" or "Thursdays 5-8 PM" — `free.today`, `free.label` and `free.next` resolve that for the current LA date, `free.rules` gives the raw rule) and WHAT IS ON VIEW (current and upcoming exhibitions with their run dates, so you can say what closes soon). Also returns opening hours, open-now, typical visit length, quietest time, admission prices and links.
taxonomy
get_taxonomy
List all event category tags, bar/club vibe tags, kid-place categories and museum types used by the other tools.
whats
whats_on_tonight
One call for "what to do tonight in LA": top events until ~6am plus bars with happy hour on right now.

Event Synoptic — questions

What can Event Synoptic do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_bars, find_museums, get_best_ticket_prices, get_event, get_event_history, get_taxonomy and 2 more. 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 Event Synoptic working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 166 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Event Synoptic?
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 Event Synoptic need an API key?
No. Event Synoptic completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Event Synoptic?
It answers our handshake in 166 ms on average, which is faster than 80% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
