Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Live "from" prices for upcoming concerts, sport, theatre and festivals, checked hourly from StubHub listings by NeedATicket.co.uk. Prices are per ticket in GBP before the seller's fees. Use it for questions like "cheapest Oasis tickets", "what's on in Manchester next weekend" or "how much are Metallica Sphere tickets". Every result links to the event's page on NeedATicket.co.uk, which shows the current price, other dates and where to buy. An event page's price can be refreshed live on demand; priceCheckedAt says when it was last read.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http needaticket-mcp https://needaticket.co.uk/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add needaticket-mcp --url https://needaticket.co.uk/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable needaticket-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "needaticket-mcp": {
      "url": "https://needaticket.co.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "needaticket-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://needaticket.co.uk/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start needaticket-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "needaticket-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://needaticket.co.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http needaticket-mcp https://needaticket.co.uk/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "needaticket-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://needaticket.co.uk/mcp"
    }
