Which agents does this work with?

Anything that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP. Claude works today on every plan, Free included. Gemini works on a personal Google account, inside the eligibility limits Google sets out. ChatGPT needs a Business, Enterprise or Edu workspace for the full tool set, and a Pro account can connect it with read access only. Any other MCP-capable agent should work the way Claude does: connector URL, sign in, go.

Nothing to connect, and every account gets 100 searches a week. Go over the allowance and your agent gets a plain message telling it when the count resets, never an error. Palaner Plus raises the weekly allowance to 500 searches; no tool, city or feature on this page is behind it.

Does it only work in the cities you list?

No. The listed cities are the ones with a page of their own on palaner.com. Your agent asks by coordinate and radius, so a town nobody has ever asked about works the same way — and if Palaner has not collected there yet, asking is what starts it.

Does it use my model, or Palaner's?

Yours. Palaner's server never calls a language model to answer an MCP request; it answers a tool call with a database query and real data. Your agent does the reasoning and the web search.

For agents

Your agent already reasons.
Now let it see what's on.

Connect Palaner and the agent you already use can answer “what's on near me that I'd actually like?” with real events, real venues and real ticket links — ranked against your taste, your friends and what you do for work.

Your agent, with Palaner connectedExample

What's on near me tonight that I'd actually like?

Palaner answered withfind_placeget_my_profilerecommend_events

You're in east London, and you have a big music library connected, so I put live music first. Two stand out tonight, and one is free.

Tuesday jazz club

Stoke Newington · Tonight, 5pm · Free

Live music, and you listen to a lot of itFree to get in

Board game night

Hackney · Tonight, 7pm

Like other things you've pickedRuns regularly, so you can catch the next one

Neither needs a ticket in advance. Want me to save the jazz one and check whether anyone you know is going?

An illustration, not a live feed. The tool names, and the reason line under each card, are Palaner's own — they are what your agent actually receives.

Why it is worth connecting

One query, instead of an afternoon of fetching

Ask an agent what's on near you and it has no choice but to go looking. It opens a search engine, guesses which listings sites cover your town, fetches page after page, reads past the cookie banners and the ads, works out that the same gig is listed three times under three names, and then finds that half of what it found has already happened. All of that costs tokens and time, and none of it is kept: the next time you ask, it starts from nothing.

Palaner has already done that work, and keeps doing it. Your agent makes one tool call against a database that is already built, already deduplicated, already current — and already knows who you are. The tokens go into the answer instead of into the fetching.

Without a connector

Search, guess which sites cover the town, then fetch them one by one
Read listings pages written for people, around the ads and the banners
Work out that three sites are describing one gig
Notice how much of it has already happened
Start again from nothing the next time you ask
And still have no way to put it in order for you

With Palaner connected

One tool call
Structured records sized for a context window: title, time, venue, coordinates, price, ticket link, source
Deduplicated across sources before your agent ever sees it
Only what is still upcoming

Your profile stays put, so you never explain yourself twice

Answers a web search cannot give

Which of tonight's events suits you, in what order, and why. A search engine can tell your agent what exists. It cannot tell it which one you would enjoy — and it cannot get there without you typing out your taste, your budget, your city and who you're with, every single time you ask. Palaner already holds all of it.

What just happened

Your model. Your effort. Palaner's data.

Connecting your own agent controls the level of effort and the exact model that powers your Palaner answers. Palaner's own chat runs the same tools over the same database — this is the route for people who want to pick the model and the thinking budget themselves.

You ask, in your own agent

No new app and no new subscription. The thread you already use.

Palaner answers with data

No tool here calls a language model. A tool call is a database query against real listings and your own profile.

Your model writes the answer

The reasoning, the web search and the wording are your agent's, on whatever model and effort level you have chosen.

What is in it

Pretty much any kind of thing you could go to

Gigs and club nights, meetup groups, board games, five-a-side, hiking, restaurant deals. Twelve categories, one database, refreshed continuously from every source Palaner can reach — and your agent queries all of it the same way.

Techno, house, hip hop, jazz, indie, afrobeats, drum and bass, rock, pop, classical, folk

Nightlife and social

Club nights, parties, mixers, speed dating, singles nights, LGBTQ+ nights, rooftop bars, after parties

What makes the answers good

It knows you, and it knows who you know

A web search can find an event. None of the rest of this is in a web search.

It remembers what you're into

Tell it once. Your interests, your budget, your radius, the things you never want to see again — they live on your Palaner profile, not in one agent's memory, so every agent you connect starts out knowing you.

It knows your music taste better than you do

One button connects Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music. The artists you actually listen to become the reason a gig is ranked first, and Palaner says so by name on the card rather than leaving you to guess.

It knows what your friends are into

Your agent can look a Palaner friend up by name and see what they are into — only ever what that friend has chosen to share — and search for the things that work for several of you at once, at a venue that is a fair distance for everyone coming.

It understands what you do for work

Your agent reads your CV or your LinkedIn itself and passes the fields over; Palaner never sees the document. Without it, a conference in your own field gets ranked like any other night out.

It shows you who else is going

Counts everyone, and names only the people who have agreed to be named to you — exactly the same consent rules as the app, because it is the same code underneath.

It introduces you before you go

Going to something where you don't know anyone? Palaner can suggest members worth connecting with, ranked by mutual friends, your area and shared interests, and send the request ahead of time — so you arrive already knowing someone.

Where it works

101 cities with a page of their own, and every other town on Earth

Palaner works from a coordinate and a radius, so there is no list of supported places to be missing from.

200,000+

Upcoming events on file, deduplicated across sources and refreshed continuously.

101

Cities with an indexed page of their own, on every continent. Find yours below.

Any town

A position is a coordinate and a radius, never a name from a list. A town Palaner has never served works because it is on Earth.

Every city with a page of its own

Your agent is not limited to these — anywhere on Earth works. These are the ones with a page you can open right now. Pick a region to find yours.

What it can do

33 tools, in three groups

The same tools Palaner's own chat uses, wrapping the same service code. Nothing here is reimplemented for agents.

Setup

Paste one URL, sign in, done

Connector URL

https://api.palaner.com/mcp

Add to ClaudeWorks on every plan

In claude.ai, go to Customize → Connectors.
Click +, then Add custom connector.
Paste the URL above and click Add.
Sign in with your Palaner account when it asks.

Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise all support custom connectors (Free is limited to one). Claude's own instructions.

Add to GeminiYou add it yourself

No application and no admin — you paste the URL into your own settings:

In the Gemini app, open Settings → Connected apps.
Under custom apps, choose Add a custom app and paste the URL above.
Click Next and sign in with your Palaner account when it asks.
In a chat, type the @ sign and pick Palaner.

Google lists the requirements on its own help page: 18 or over, in the United States, signed in with a personal Google account — work and school accounts are excluded for now — with activity history on. It is English-only, and a custom app is added in the Gemini web app. Google's own instructions.

Add to ChatGPTWorkspace only, for now

Needs a ChatGPT Business, Enterprise or Edu workspace today, and a workspace admin does the setup, not you:

An admin turns on Developer mode: on Enterprise/Edu, grant access under Permissions & Roles → Connected Data, then enable it at Settings → Apps → Advanced Settings. On Business, this happens as part of the next step.
From Workspace settings → Apps → Create, paste the URL above and click Scan Tools, then Create.
The admin publishes it (Workspace settings → Apps → Drafts → Publish); it then appears under Settings → Apps for everyone in the workspace, who each sign in with their own Palaner account.

On a personal account, ChatGPT Pro can connect a custom MCP server in developer mode, but read-only — finding events works, saving a plan does not. Free, Plus and Go have no route to a connector URL at all, and Palaner is not in ChatGPT's own app directory yet, which is the other way onto a personal account. OpenAI's developer-mode instructions and Apps in ChatGPT.

Any other MCP-capable agent works the way Claude does: connector URL, sign in, go. The server speaks Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE, one Palaner account per connection.

What it costs

Free to connect.
100 searches a week, per person. Only search_events and recommend_events count against it. Looking at an event you already found, reading or writing your profile, and saving a plan don't. Go over, and your agent gets a plain message with the reset time, never an error.
Palaner Plus raises it to 500 searches a week. Everything on this page works without it.
Sign-in required. One connection is one Palaner account; there is no anonymous use.

Privacy

Runs as you. Every call carries your signed-in Palaner account and exactly the permissions you already have on palaner.com: no admin access, no other user's private data.
Sees only what you'd see. Friend and who's-going lookups follow the same consent rules as the app, so your agent never sees more of your friends' plans than you would scrolling palaner.com yourself.
Nothing from your agent's own memory reaches Palaner unless you explicitly ask it to remember something.
Disconnect it any time from your own agent's connector settings; that is where the connection lives. Your Palaner account holds the rest of your data and privacy controls.

Can it buy tickets?: No. get_event returns the ticket link; buying happens on the seller's own site. Palaner doesn't sell tickets and doesn't touch payment.

For developers

The MCP server at https://api.palaner.com/mcp is the way in today: Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, one Palaner account per connection. Standalone API docs and developer keys aren't ready yet; if you're building your own MCP client rather than using an assistant, the same URL still works.
