JamBase Data MCP
For the marketing pitch and per-client install snippets, see /mcp. If you’re signed in, your one-click install page lives at /account/mcp.
What you’ll be able to do
Three sample conversations a JamBase-connected assistant can handle that nothing else on the market can.
“Who's playing Red Rocks this August?”
Your assistant returns the full month of dates, headliners, and confirmed openers, pulled live from the JamBase calendar.
“Which of my saved artists are touring near me in the next 90 days?”
Your assistant joins your personal artist list against the global tour calendar and ranks the answer by distance and date.
“Pair a jam-band show near Sonoma with three wineries I should pitch.”
Your assistant uses JamBase to find the right show and date, then layers in winery research from its other tools — a join nobody else's data lets you make.
If you’re a PM or analyst evaluating whether to wire this in, the marketing pitch and per-assistant install snippets live at /mcp. The rest of this page covers the technical reality.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is the open standard MCP-aware assistants use to call external tools.
When you connect JamBase Data to your assistant, it shows up as a set of callable tools (e.g. searchEvents). The assistant decides when to call them, supplies the arguments, and folds the results into its answer. You don't write any glue code — just connect the server once and start asking music questions.
Server URL
Point any MCP-compatible client at this URL.
MCP server endpoint
https://mcp.jambase.com/mcpConnect your assistant
Per-client install snippets and step-by-step setup live on the marketing page so the same instructions work whether you’re logged in or not.
For ChatGPT and Claude, the recommended install is one click from the directories: JamBase is live in the ChatGPT Apps directory and the Claude connectors directory. Any other MCP-compatible client can point at the server URL above.
We maintain copy-paste install snippets for ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Gemini, and Replit at /mcp. If you're already signed in, your account-page version with your own server URL pre-filled lives at /account/install-in-your-ai.
- Copy the snippet for your assistant from the install grid.
- Paste it into the assistant's MCP / connectors settings.
- Restart the assistant.
- The first time the assistant calls a JamBase tool, it pops a browser window for OAuth sign-in. Approve once and the access token is stored for you.
Your first prompt
Paste any of these into your connected assistant — no further setup needed.
"Who is playing at Red Rocks this August?"
The assistant will call searchEvents with the venue name and an August date range, then format the results back to you with dates, artists, and confirmed openers.
More starter prompts (artists, livestreams, festivals, geo lookups) live on the marketing page under "Try these queries".
Available tools
The MCP server currently exposes these tools. The assistant picks which one to call based on your prompt.
