About Bushdrum

Bushdrum in Lisbon

We continuously scrape and enrich local event data in Lisbon so you always have the most complete picture of what's happening.

What is Bushdrum?

Bushdrum is a free, open event discovery platform. We aggregate event listings from dozens of local sources — venue websites, ticket platforms, community calendars, cultural institutions — and enrich them with AI so you can search, filter, and explore what's happening in your city like never before.

No more checking ten different websites, scrolling through social media, or relying on word of mouth. One search, every event.

How it Works

  • Comprehensive scraping — Our scrapers run hourly across 90+ sources per city, pulling in everything from major concerts to neighborhood meetups.
  • AI enrichment — Every event is automatically categorized, tagged with vibes (casual, artsy, high-energy…), audience types, and more. We generate bilingual summaries so language is never a barrier.
  • Smart search — Ask natural questions like “outdoor jazz this weekend” or “family activities near Seefeld” and get relevant results instantly.
  • Personalization — Save events, build a taste profile, and get recommendations tailored to what you actually enjoy.

Ask Your AI Assistant

Bushdrum supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets AI assistants access live data from external services. This means you can ask AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible assistant about events and get real-time answers pulled directly from Bushdrum — no copy-pasting or manual searching required.

For example, you could ask your AI assistant:

  • “What concerts are happening in Lisbon this weekend?”
  • “Find me a free family event on Saturday”
  • “What's on at Kaufleuten tonight?”

The assistant searches Bushdrum in real time and gives you a curated answer. No API keys needed — just connect the Bushdrum MCP server in your AI tool's settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bushdrum": {
      "url": "https://bushdrum.com/mcp/sse"
    }
  }
}

Developers and AI builders can find full API documentation on our Developers & API page.
