Available tools 8

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

catalog

get_catalog_meta

Trust endpoint: how many shows and live offers the catalog currently holds, which resellers are covered, and when the data was last refreshed. Call this to assess data freshness before relying on prices.

compare

compare_offers

Price comparison for one event across French ticket resellers (Fnac Spectacles, BilletReduc, L'Officiel des spectacles…). Returns each live offer with price, availability, booking URL, and how fresh the price is (verified_at). Recommends the cheapest.

fetch

fetch

Fetch the full detail of one CultureLib cultural event by its id (the slug returned by `search`): description, venue, dates, and all live reseller offers with prices, freshness and booking links, as a single citable document.

search

Search the CultureLib catalog of French cultural events (theater, concerts, exhibitions, kids shows, guided tours) and their multi-reseller ticket offers. Returns matching events as citable documents; use `fetch` with a returned id to get full detail, prices and booking links.

show

get_show

Full detail of one cultural event by slug: description, canonical venue with coordinates, upcoming performance dates, and ALL live reseller offers sorted by price with booking URLs, availability and price freshness timestamps.

shows

search_shows

Search French cultural events (theater, concerts, exhibitions, kids shows, guided tours) across multiple ticket resellers. Returns canonical shows with cross-reseller offer counts, price ranges, ratings, cities and dates. Query matching tolerates noisy titles (venue/city/tour suffixes are normalized).

venues

find_venues

Find French cultural venues (theaters, concert halls, museums…) by name and/or city. Returns canonical venues with coordinates and the number of shows currently playing.

whats

whats_on

What is on in a French city on a given date — the typical "find me something to do tonight" query. Returns cultural events (theater, concerts, exhibitions…) with prices and reseller offer counts, cheapest first when a budget is given.

CultureLib Discover — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CultureLib Discover do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_offers, fetch, find_venues, get_catalog_meta, get_show, search 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 CultureLib Discover working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 107 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is CultureLib Discover still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

The registry lists CultureLib Discover as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect CultureLib Discover?

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 CultureLib Discover need an API key?

No. CultureLib Discover 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.
