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.

coverage
list_coverage
The metros and cities covered, and the categories. Call it when unsure whether a city is covered.
event
get_event
Everything known about one event by its id (from search_events): all its tags, venue, links and times.
events
search_events
Find events happening in a city: concerts, DJ and club nights, comedy and theater, pop-ups and supper clubs, night markets and flea markets, festivals and street fairs, parties, classes, exhibitions. Pass what the user asked for in plain words as `query` ("techno this weekend in Oakland", "spooky things to do friday", "farmers market sunday morning"); time and place in the words are understood. Say who it is for in the same words ("comedy this weekend for my parents, they hate crowds", "things to do with my kids saturday"): what suits them comes first. Use `from`/`to`, `place` or `near` when you already know them exactly. Returns events with start times in the local timezone, the venue, a summary, tags, ticket and source links, and why each matched. Covers the San Francisco Bay Area today; a place outside it comes back as not covered, with no events. For more, call again with the `offset` a search returns as next_offset.

Things To Do API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Things To Do API do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_event, list_coverage, search_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 Things To Do API 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 176 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Things To Do API?
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 Things To Do API need an API key?
No. Things To Do API 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 Things To Do API?
It answers our handshake in 176 ms on average, which is faster than 75% 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.
