For AI agents

Ask your AI what's on.

Triple C runs a free MCP server, so AI assistants and agents can use our gig guide as a source of truth: live music shows, venues and artists across Canada, and what's playing on the station.

https://triplec.fm/mcp

Model Context Protocol, streamable HTTP. Read-only, no sign-in, no key.

Add it

Connect it in a minute

Claude

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it Triple C and paste the address above.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http triplec https://triplec.fm/mcp

Other MCP clients

Most tools that speak MCP take a remote server address. Use the one above, with no authentication.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "triplec": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://triplec.fm/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then just ask

"What shows are on in Halifax this weekend?" · "Where is Ada Lea playing next?" · "When did Runaway Twain last play?" · "Which venues near Kensington Market have shows tonight?" · "What's playing on Triple C?"

Fair use

The small print

  • Free for non-commercial use, including AI assistants answering people's questions. Commercial use is a paid service: contact us to set up an agreement. The full API and MCP terms apply.
  • Please link people to the triplec.fm pages the tools return, so they can see the details and buy tickets from the source. Shows and festivals we take only from Ticketmaster aren't included.
  • Shows come from venues' own calendars, Ticketmaster, and listings sent in by bands and fans, checked by the station. Times are local to each venue, with the UTC offset.
  • Building something yourself? There's also a REST API with your own key. MCP allows up to 120 requests a minute from one address. Something wrong in the data? Use Suggest a fix on any show, venue or artist page.
  • Agents can also find us at /.well-known/mcp.json and /llms.txt.
