VenuNite Events

isaacaskew/venunite-events

Connects Claude to VenuNite's live event database covering 29,000 venues and 275,000 upcoming events across all 50 US states. You can search for concerts, shows, and performances by location, artist, or venue, making it useful when you need to answer questions about local entertainment options or build event discovery features. The server exposes hyperlocal event search capabilities, so you'd reach for this when working on travel planning, entertainment recommendations, or any workflow where someone asks "what's happening near me tonight?" VenuNite earns affiliate commissions on ticket sales, so results may include purchase links.

Parameters* required

categoriesarray

Event category(s). Map the user's intent: 'live music' → music, 'standup' → comedy, 'trivia night' → trivia-games, 'art opening' → arts-culture. 'anything to do' → omit (no category filter).

center_latnumber

Latitude (only if you already have precise coordinates — otherwise pass place_name).

center_lngnumber

Longitude (paired with center_lat).

date_endstring

Exclusive ISO-8601 end of the search window, including the local UTC offset. Default: 14 days from date_start. The words now, today, tonight, tomorrow and this weekend are also accepted and resolve...

date_matchstring

overlap includes events already running during the window, such as multi-day festivals or prior-night shows; events ending exactly at date_start are excluded. starts_within requires the event to st...one of overlap · starts_withindefault: overlap

date_startstring

Inclusive ISO-8601 start of the search window, including the local UTC offset. Default: now. The words now, today, tonight, tomorrow and this weekend are also accepted and resolved in the caller's...

include_unknown_pricesboolean

Include events whose admission price cannot be determined. Default true preserves broad discovery; positive price bounds may then include unknown prices, which must be labeled unverified. false kee...default: true

limitinteger

Number of events to return. Default 20. Prefer small (5-10) when the user asked for a single recommendation.default: 20

local_onlyboolean

Set true when the user's query implies 'in my immediate area' — 'what's on my block', 'nearby tonight', 'close by'. The server clamps the effective radius to a neighborhood-scale max based on local...default: false

max_costnumber

Upper bound on event cost in USD. 'cheap' ≈ 15, 'affordable' ≈ 30, 'under $X' → X. Events with no listed price stay in the results (most events list none), so present their price as unverified rath...

max_events_per_venueinteger

Per-venue diversity cap. Default 1 — each venue contributes at most one event, giving a diverse 'what's on' feed. Raise to 3-5 for 'what's on at <specific venue>' queries where the user expects mul...default: 1

min_costnumber

Lower bound on event cost. Rarely useful — only set when the user explicitly excluded free events.

place_namestring

Human-readable location if the user mentioned one: 'Westminster, CO' or 'Five Points Denver'. Prefer this over guessed lat/lng when you have a name; existing precise coordinates take precedence. Al...

query_textstring

Free-text vibe description extracted from the user's query. Keep it short — e.g. 'chill jazz' or 'loud rock club'. Omit when the user's request is purely geographic / tag-based (e.g. 'any comedy sh...

radius_milesnumber

Search radius in miles. OMIT this field to let the server pick a density-aware default: 5mi in dense metros (Chicago, NYC), 15mi suburban, 25mi rural. Only pass an explicit value when the user's ph...

sortstring

Ordering axis. Results are presented by calendar day in timezone; sort orders within each day. With query_text, the server selects the strongest event-text and venue-vibe matches under every sort,...one of date · distance · demand · relevance

state_hintstring

Two-letter state abbreviation to disambiguate place_name (e.g. place_name 'Frederick' + state_hint 'MD'). Unnecessary when place_name already contains the state.

timezonestring

IANA timezone (e.g. 'America/New_York') used for the calendar-day grouping of results. Default UTC — pass the user's local zone so 'today/tomorrow' day buckets match their clock.default: UTC

vibe_tagsarray

Canonical vibe vocabulary. Include tags the user explicitly or strongly implied. IMPORTANT: the tags `queer-friendly`, `family-friendly`, `all-ages`, `18-plus`, `21-plus` are HARD filters — only in...
