- Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## Connect Seat geek to Claude Code

### Connecting Seat geek to Claude Code using Composio
1. Add the Composio MCP to Claude

```bash
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http composio https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is Anthropic's command line developer tool that lets you use Claude directly inside your terminal. Instead of switching between your editor, browser, and chat, you can stay in your project folder and ask Claude to help you build, debug, refactor, and understand code right where you're working.
Key features include:
- Terminal-Native Experience: Work with Claude directly in your command line without switching contexts
- MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers to extend Claude's capabilities
- Project Context: Claude understands your project structure and can read, write, and modify files
- Interactive Development: Ask questions, debug code, and get help in real-time while coding
- Multi-Platform: Works on macOS, Linux, WSL, and Windows

## What is the Seat geek MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Seat geek MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to SeatGeek's event and ticketing platform. It provides structured and secure access to real-time event listings, performer info, venues, and recommendations—so your agent can search events, fetch performer or venue details, get personalized recommendations, and explore seating options on your behalf.
- Event discovery and search: Instantly search for concerts, sports games, theater shows, and more by performer, venue, location, or date to find upcoming live entertainment that matches your preferences.
- Venue and seating insights: Retrieve detailed information about venues, including seating charts and available sections or rows, so your agent can help you choose the best seats for any event.
- Performer exploration and recommendations: Get in-depth details about your favorite artists, teams, or entertainers, and discover similar performers or new acts you might enjoy based on your interests.
- Personalized event recommendations: Ask your agent to suggest events tailored to your tastes, location, or favorite performers, making it easy to find something you'll love.
- Event category browsing: Explore a rich taxonomy of event types, from concerts and sports to theater and comedy, enabling your agent to filter and recommend experiences across all entertainment genres.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SEAT_GEEK_GET_EVENT_DETAILS` | Get Event Details | Get comprehensive details about a specific event including venue, performers, date/time (in local venue time), ticket information, and a SeatGeek event URL. Performer and venue fields are basic summaries; use SEAT_GEEK_GET_PERFORMER_DETAILS or SEAT_GEEK_GET_VENUE_DETAILS for additional depth. For similarly named or recurring events, cross-check date, venue, league, and competition fields to confirm the correct event. |
| `SEAT_GEEK_GET_EVENT_RECOMMENDATIONS` | Get Event Recommendations | Get personalized event recommendations based on your favorite performers, events, or location. Discover new events you might enjoy. |
| `SEAT_GEEK_GET_EVENT_SEATING` | Get Event Seating Information | Get section and row layout information for a specific event's venue. Returns available sections (e.g., '101', 'floor', 'suite-14') mapped to their row identifiers. IMPORTANT: Only works for events at major venues with seating maps (stadiums, arenas). Small venue concerts or general admission events will return a 404 error. Use SEAT_GEEK_SEARCH_EVENTS with taxonomies_name='sports' to find events that have seating data. |
| `SEAT_GEEK_GET_PERFORMER_DETAILS` | Get Performer Details | Retrieves detailed information about a specific performer (artist, sports team, or theatrical production) from SeatGeek by their unique ID. Returns comprehensive data including performer name, type, images, popularity scores, upcoming event counts, genre/taxonomy classifications, and ticket URLs. Does not include box scores, match statistics, or performance stats. Use this action when you need fields beyond the basic performer info already embedded in event details (e.g., popularity scores, full taxonomy, upcoming event counts). To find performer IDs, first use the search_performers action to search by name. |
| `SEAT_GEEK_GET_PERFORMER_RECOMMENDATIONS` | Get Performer Recommendations | Get recommendations for similar performers based on your interests. Discover new artists, bands, teams, or entertainers you might enjoy. |
| `SEAT_GEEK_GET_TAXONOMIES` | Get Event Categories | Get a list of all available event categories and types (taxonomies) used on SeatGeek. Useful for understanding event classification and filtering options. |
| `SEAT_GEEK_GET_VENUE_DETAILS` | Get Venue Details | Get detailed venue-specific information (location, address, metadata) beyond what SEAT_GEEK_GET_EVENT_DETAILS already returns. Only call this tool when additional venue fields are needed that are absent from the event details response. |
| `SEAT_GEEK_SEARCH_EVENTS` | Search Events | Search for ticketed events on SeatGeek by performers, venues, dates, or general queries. Covers concerts, sports games, theater shows, and other live entertainment. Only indexes ticketed events; empty results may indicate coverage gaps. Avoid over-filtering — start broad and progressively narrow. lat and lon parameters must be supplied together for location-based filtering. |
| `SEAT_GEEK_SEARCH_PERFORMERS` | Search Performers | Search for performers including artists, bands, sports teams, comedians, and more. Find your favorite entertainers and see their upcoming events. |
| `SEAT_GEEK_SEARCH_VENUES` | Search Venues | Search for venues by location, name, or other criteria. Find stadiums, theaters, concert halls, and other entertainment venues. Supports lat/lon coordinate filtering (both must be provided together). |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Seat geek MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects Claude Code (and other AI assistants like Claude and Cursor) directly to your Seat geek account. It provides structured and secure access so Claude can perform Seat geek operations on your behalf.
With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster.

## Step-by-step Guide

### 1. Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
- Claude Pro, Max, or API billing enabled Anthropic account
- Composio API Key
- A Seat geek account
- Basic knowledge of Python or TypeScript

### 1. Install Claude Code

To install Claude Code, use one of the following methods based on your operating system:
```bash
# macOS, Linux, WSL
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

# Windows PowerShell
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

# Windows CMD
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd
```

### 2. Set up Claude Code

Open a terminal, go to your project folder, and start Claude Code:
- Claude Code will open in your terminal
- Follow the prompts to sign in with your Anthropic account
- Complete the authentication flow
- Once authenticated, you can start using Claude Code
```bash
cd your-project-folder
claude
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root with the following variables:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio (get it from [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=api_key&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code))
- USER_ID identifies the user for session management (use any unique identifier)
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
```

### 4. Install Composio library

No description provided.
```python
pip install composio-core python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core dotenv
```

### 5. Generate Composio MCP URL

No description provided.
```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["seat_geek"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http seat_geek-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;

if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}

const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });

const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
  toolkits: ['seat_geek'],
});

const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;

console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http seat_geek-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);
```

### 6. Run the script and copy the MCP URL

No description provided.
```python
python generate_mcp_url.py
```

```typescript
node --loader ts-node/esm generate_mcp_url.ts
# or if using tsx
tsx generate_mcp_url.ts
```

### 7. Add Seat geek MCP to Claude Code

In your terminal, add the MCP server using the command from the previous step. The command format is:
- claude mcp add registers a new MCP server with Claude Code
- --transport http specifies that this is an HTTP-based MCP server
- The server name (seat_geek-composio) is how you'll reference it
- The URL points to your Composio Tool Router session
- --headers includes your Composio API key for authentication
After running the command, close the current Claude Code session and start a new one for the changes to take effect.
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http seat_geek-composio "YOUR_MCP_URL_HERE" --headers "X-API-Key:YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"

# Then restart Claude Code
exit
claude
```

### 8. Verify the installation

Check that your Seat geek MCP server is properly configured.
- This command lists all MCP servers registered with Claude Code
- You should see your seat_geek-composio entry in the list
- This confirms that Claude Code can now access Seat geek tools
If everything is wired up, you should see your seat_geek-composio entry listed:
```bash
claude mcp list
```

### 9. Authenticate Seat geek

The first time you try to use Seat geek tools, you'll be prompted to authenticate.
- Claude Code will detect that you need to authenticate with Seat geek
- It will show you an authentication link
- Open the link in your browser (or copy/paste it)
- Complete the Seat geek authorization flow
- Return to the terminal and start using Seat geek through Claude Code
Once authenticated, you can ask Claude Code to perform Seat geek operations in natural language. For example:
- "Find concerts happening in New York this weekend"
- "Show me available seats for Taylor Swift’s next show"
- "Recommend sports events near San Francisco next month"

## Complete Code

```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["seat_geek"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http seat_geek-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;

if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}

const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });

const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
  toolkits: ['seat_geek'],
});

const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;

console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http seat_geek-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Seat geek MCP?

With a standalone Seat geek MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Seat geek tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Seat geek and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Code?

Yes, you can. Claude Code fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Seat geek tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Seat geek while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Seat geek scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Seat geek data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
