I've been building a bunch of consumer apps lately around personalization and recommendation and have had a hard time finding this data in one spot. agents can find useful stuff through tool calls / web search, but slow.
you can scrape on demand too, but i wanted a faster data set and couldn't find an existing provider for the mix of event types I was searching for.
the methodology for it is to find influential accounts/posters/etc. and do a fan out across things that they co-post with.
mcp: `claude mcp add --transport http thingstodo https://api.thingstodoapi.com/mcp`
I'm considering adding other cities. If you're building something that needs local event data, would something like this be useful and where would you want coverage?

I'm actually working to do this at ultra low cost as a public service like Wikipedia or musicbrainz.
I'll be publishing global costs to serve and letting people donate to support.
