LocalBeat
US local event listings searchable by place, date and type
Overview
What LocalBeat does
LocalBeat aggregates local entertainment and recreation events across the United States, gathering listings that otherwise sit scattered across individual venue and organiser pages. The categories named include trivia nights and open mics, live music, comedy, markets and festivals, classes, fitness sessions, programmes for children and families, and community gatherings. The connector searches that calendar near a place and returns the full record for anything found: description, venue with address and map, start and end times, and a ticket link where one exists. Three tools are published at community tier, and the endpoint listed all three without credentials.
Tool surface
All three observed tools read rather than write: `search_events` near a location, `get_event_details` for the full record by id, and `get_search_facets` to discover which event tag codes actually exist nearby before filtering on one.
Availability
Where LocalBeat is listed
LocalBeat is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. LocalBeat, LLC has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
LocalBeat publishes 3 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 11.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one sits 9 tools below its bucket's median, 379th of 462.
It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory.
Measured against the live endpoint
A direct call to the endpoint returned 3 tools, matching the 3 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.

LocalBeat publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

In the publisher's words
How LocalBeat, LLC describes it
