What is the Songkick MCP Server?
Equip your AI agent with the most comprehensive live music intelligence available via Songkick. This unified server provides your agent with instant access to worldwide concert schedules, artist tour dates, and venue calendars. Your agent can instantly search for upcoming shows in specific cities, audit an artist's full gigography, and retrieve detailed event information without you ever needing to browse a ticketing site. Whether you are planning a night out or auditing the tour history of a specific band, your agent acts as a dedicated concert coordinator through natural conversation.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find upcoming concerts in a specific city?
First, use the search_locations tool to find the correct metroAreaId for your city. Then, use the get_location_calendar tool with that ID to retrieve all upcoming events in that area.
Can I see the full tour history of an artist?
Yes! Use the get_artist_gigography tool with the Artist ID. It provides a comprehensive list of past concerts and events recorded for that specific artist.
Does the integration provide details for specific concert venues?
Absolutely. You can use the search_venues tool to find a venue by name and then use get_venue_calendar to see all upcoming shows scheduled at that specific location.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
