Rock Regeneration Gigs MCP Server

rock-regeneration-gigs-mcp

An MCP server for searching upcoming gigs and live music events from the Rock Regeneration gig guide, covering venues across southern England (Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Isle of Wight, etc).

Usage

Add to your Claude config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gigs": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "--rm", "-i", "ghcr.io/cuotos/rock-regeneration-gigs-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Or with the Claude CLI:

claude mcp add --transport stdio gigs -- docker run --rm -i ghcr.io/cuotos/rock-regeneration-gigs-mcp

Tools

search_gigs

Search for upcoming gigs. All filters are optional — omit to return everything.

Testing

Build the image locally:

docker build -t rock-regeneration-gigs-mcp .

Test it responds correctly:

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"0"}}}' \
  | docker run --rm -i rock-regeneration-gigs-mcp

Expected output:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":{"capabilities":{"tools":{}},"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","serverInfo":{"name":"rock-regeneration-gigs-mcp","version":"..."}}}

Publishing

Pushing a version tag does both halves of a release:

git tag v1.0.0
git push origin v1.0.0

1. The image is built and pushed to ghcr.io/cuotos/rock-regeneration-gigs-mcp.
2. The server is published to the MCP Registry as io.github.cuotos/rock-regeneration-gigs-mcp, using GitHub OIDC — no secrets needed.

server.json keeps a placeholder 0.0.0 version in git; CI rewrites it, and the image tag, from the git tag at publish time.

The registry verifies ownership by pulling the image and reading its io.modelcontextprotocol.server.name label, so the GHCR package must be public. It is private on first push — make it public once, under the package settings on GitHub.

Check the published entry with:

curl "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=io.github.cuotos/rock-regeneration-gigs-mcp"
