Querying Live-Music Venues via the No Stairs Please MCP Server

Touring musicians, booking agents, and independent promoters spend hours checking venue calendars, contact pages, and stage specs before routing a tour. The No Stairs Please MCP Server gives Claude, ChatGPT, and other Model Context Protocol clients direct structured access to venue records inside their normal planning workflow.

The live catalog indexes 38,223 live-music venues across 10,286 towns and 7,325 booking routes across all 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and British Columbia. Each record details room type, capacity, stage dimensions, submission guidelines, and verified booking contacts.
