TicketsData MCP Server

Live ticket listings, prices and fees inside your AI assistant.

The TicketsData MCP server connects Claude, Cursor, VS Code and any other Model Context Protocol client to the TicketsData real-time API. Ask a question in plain language and the assistant pulls live inventory from the major primary and resale ticket marketplaces, with responses in about 1 to 2 seconds and no cache in between.

"What are the cheapest two seats for this event right now, all fees included?"

"Compare this event across every marketplace and show me where the section spreads are widest."

"List this artist's upcoming shows and tell me which ones have the thinnest inventory."

It is a hosted server: nothing to install.

Tools

Tool	What it does	Cost
list_marketplaces	Supported marketplaces and the URL format each expects	Free
get_event_listings	Live listings for one event on one marketplace: section, row, quantity, price, fees	1 credit
find_events	Upcoming events for a performer, team, organizer or venue page	1 credit
compare_marketplaces	One event matched and priced across every marketplace, with per-section spreads	1 report + up to 12 credits (Pro and above)

All tools are read-only and return the complete REST API response, unchanged. Supported marketplaces: ticketsdata.com/marketplaces.

Credits and limits

Every call is a live fetch and spends credits from your plan, exactly like the REST API. To keep an agent stuck in a loop from draining your plan, MCP access is capped at 30 calls per minute and 1,000 calls per 24 hours per account, and one cross-market report at a time. For bulk or scheduled work use the REST API.
