2Select Add, then Add custom connector.
3Enter a name such as FlashEvents, paste the URL below, and click Continue.
4Keep the authentication setting Claude detects (No sign-in, since the connector needs no account), then click Add.

Works on every Claude plan. The Free plan allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an Owner adds it for the organization.

How Muse works with connectors

Try asking

Ask the way you would ask a friend

Name a city or neighborhood, a time, and what you are in the mood for. Your assistant looks it up in FlashEvents.

“What’s on tonight in Boston?”
“Find comedy shows in Brooklyn this weekend.”
“Any live jazz near me tomorrow night?”
“What time does the [artist] show at [venue] start?”
“What art openings are in Miami this week?”
“Which cities does FlashEvents cover?”

What it knows

The same listings as this site

Answers come from the FlashEvents event listings, not from a web search, so your assistant works from current dates and venues.

For each event

Event name
Date and start time, in the venue’s local time
Venue and address
Category, such as live music, comedy or arts
Performers
A link to the event page on FlashEvents

Limits

It covers the cities listed below and nowhere else.
Some listings have a date but no start time.
Prices are not included yet.
It is read-only. It cannot buy tickets, save events or change any data.

Coverage

Covered cities

The connector covers 10 cities. You can also ask your assistant which cities are covered and how recently each was updated.
