About Phishin

Phish.in provides a free RESTful JSON API offering programmatic access to its content. Version 2, released September 2024, is the current recommended version and requires no API key; interactive Swagger documentation and the Grape API source are available, along with the React source code showing working examples of v2 usage. A legacy v1 API also exists.

The site also runs a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI assistants and other MCP clients query the platform using natural language. The server is read-only, requires no authentication, and is accessible at a general endpoint as well as client-specific endpoints for ChatGPT and Claude that support richer rendering such as interactive widgets and branded tool descriptions.

The MCP server exposes tools for searching across shows, songs, venues, tours, tags, and playlists, and for listing or retrieving detailed information on shows, songs, venues, tours, and years, including setlists, performance statistics, geographic filtering, and show counts. It also includes a stats tool for analysis such as gaps/bustouts, transitions, set positions, predictions, streaks, geographic patterns, co-occurrence, and song frequency. This is aimed at developers and AI assistant integrations working with concert and setlist data.
