Ticker MCP puts ticket market data inside ChatGPT and Claude
Add Ticker to your assistant once and sign in with your Ticker account. From then on, when you ask about an event, the assistant reads Ticker’s section prices, marketplace prices and price history before it answers.
What changes in your chat
Without a connector, an assistant answers ticket questions from memory or from whatever web page it finds. With Ticker MCP, it calls Ticker’s tools for the numbers: it finds the event, reads its sections, compares the lowest price on each marketplace, and charts how the price moved. You ask in your own words, and the assistant picks the tool.
What you can ask
- Price my tickets in one section
- get_event_sections
- Lowest price on each marketplace
- get_event_analytics
- How the lowest price moved this week
- get_event_chart get_event_analytics
- Biggest drops in the lowest price across your events
- screen_events
- Watch a section's price
- watch_event
