Key takeaways

The short version.

  • LocalEventsTracker.com finds events near a place you choose and reports each one's local date, start time, venue and listed price, with a link to the official ticket page.
  • Poke's documentation says it lives in Apple Messages, Telegram, WhatsApp and RCS, and that it handles email, reminders, web search and integrations.
  • Poke's MCP page describes adding a custom server by its address in a web form or with one command, so you can add the tracker yourself.
  • Whether Poke checks the tracker on its own schedule is untested. Forwarding the tracker's email to Poke works today.
  • Nothing here is an official integration, and the setup has not been tested. Confirm times and tickets on the event's own page.

It is for people who decide their weekend over text: couples choosing a night out, friends splitting the planning, parents looking for something for the family, and anyone new to a city.

LocalEventsTracker.com finds concerts, games and shows near you and tells your assistant when something new is announced, goes on sale or changes. Poke is an AI assistant whose documentation says it lives in Apple Messages, Telegram, WhatsApp and RCS.

The tracker knows what is on. Poke is where you ask and where you decide.

Use cases

5 ways people use LocalEventsTracker.com + Poke.

  1. Ask in a text

    1. Ask what is on this weekend

    Once the tracker's address is added, text Poke something like: what is on near me from Friday to Sunday? Poke can call the tracker and reply with each event's day, start time, venue, listed price and ticket link.

    The tracker also has a weekend recommendation tool that ranks Friday to Sunday events near a saved place and explains each pick from what matched, such as your interests, the distance or the day.

  2. Decide together

    2. Pick one in the same thread

    After the list arrives, keep going in the same conversation: which one is best for a quiet Saturday, which is cheapest, which is closest. Ask Poke to use only what the tracker returned.

    If two people are choosing, the thread is already shared context. Paste the shortlist to the group and settle it there.

  3. Forward the email

    3. Forward the digest email

    Sign up on the site and the tracker sends a daily digest email of new and changed events, with one-click unsubscribe. Forward one to Poke and ask it to help you pick an event. Poke's documentation says it reads and drafts email, which is what this needs.

    This works today because it does not rely on Poke polling the tracker.

  4. Listed prices

    4. Treat missing prices as unknown

    Prices appear only when the source publishes them. When there is none, the right reading is unknown, not free. Ask Poke to list those events separately and keep them out of any total.

    The ticket page is the final word on time, price and availability. The tracker does not sell tickets.

  5. Check changes

    5. Ask about changes before you go

    Ask Poke on the day whether anything on your saved list has changed. The tracker never treats an event that vanishes from its sources as cancelled, because only the organizer can cancel it.

    Event data comes from Ticketmaster, plus SeatGeek when enabled, and is checked once a day, so changes are not instant. Open the event's own page to confirm.

How to

How do I set this up with Poke?

  1. Step 1

    Create a free access key on [localeventstracker.com](https://localeventstracker.com). The page shows your private connector link, localeventstracker.com/mcp-key/<key>, which contains the key, so keep it secret.

  2. Step 2

    Open [poke.com/integrations/new](https://poke.com/integrations/new), enter a Name and paste the link as the MCP Server URL. Or use https://localeventstracker.com/mcp and add the key as the API key. Then click Create Integration.

  3. Step 3

    Or use the command line: npx poke@latest mcp add https://localeventstracker.com/mcp -n "LocalEventsTracker" -k "<key>".

  4. Step 4

    Text Poke: what is on near me this weekend? Then ask it to help you pick one, and confirm the time and tickets on the event's own page.

  5. Step 5

    Fallback that works today: forward the tracker's email to Poke and ask it to help you pick an event.

Poke's MCP servers page describes both routes. Whether Poke checks the tracker on its own schedule was not tested, so forwarding the email is the dependable way. LocalEventsTracker.com is not listed by Poke or built into it, and this setup has not been tested. Menus can change.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is LocalEventsTracker.com an official Poke integration?

No. There is no partnership, listing or built-in integration. Poke lets you add an MCP server by its address, and you add the tracker's address yourself. The tracker is an AgentStructure.AI app.

Will Poke text me when new events appear?

That is untested. Nothing opened says Poke checks the tracker by itself. Forward the tracker's email, or ask Poke when you want an update.

What does it cost?

The apps are free during the beta, and the site shows the free and premium parts. Poke has its own plans, so check its pages for what yours includes.

Can Poke buy tickets for me?

No. The tracker reports events and links to the official ticket page. It does not buy anything or make claims about availability.

How fresh is the information?

The tracker checks its sources once a day, so changes are not instant. Confirm times and tickets on the event's own page.
