Connect Artistu to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini

Artistu connects directly to AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant about your bookings, create new ones, check artist availability, pull invoices and agreements, and a lot more. All through normal conversation, without touching the Artistu interface at all.

This works through a technology called MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard that lets AI assistants securely read from and write to external tools like Artistu. You do not need to understand how MCP works to use it. Think of it as a secure bridge between your AI assistant and your Artistu data.

What the Artistu AI Assistant can do

Instead of copying and pasting booking details into a chat window, your AI assistant gets a live, authenticated connection to your Artistu account.

You can ask things like:

  • "What bookings does Tiësto have in June and July?"
  • "Find me a free Saturday for David Guetta in the Netherlands in Q3."
  • "Create a booking for Charlotte de Witte on August 15th at Fabric London, confirmed, 12.000 artist fee."
  • "Send me the invoice for the Awakenings booking."
  • "What is the advancing status for the Dekmantel show?"

The assistant reads Artistu's live data to answer accurately. No hallucinations, no stale information.

Why this matters for booking agencies

Booking management has always been detail-intensive. Fees, statuses, rider requirements, travel logistics, invoice tracking: each piece of information normally requires navigating to a specific screen. With the Artistu MCP integration:

  • Speed. Accomplish in seconds what previously took minutes of navigation.
  • Accuracy. The AI reads live data from your account, so there is no risk of working from outdated information.
  • Multi-step workflows. Ask the AI to check availability, create a booking, set fees, and attach a client in a single conversation.
  • Hands-free access. Ideal when you are on the phone with a promoter and need information fast.
  • Team-wide productivity. Every team member with access can use their own AI assistant connected to the same live data.

Artistu is the most technologically advanced booking agency platform available today, and the MCP integration is the proof.

Access

The Artistu AI Assistant is currently in beta and available on request. To get access, send an email to [email protected]. Once access is granted, you will receive your personal MCP server URL and setup instructions.

Connect to Claude.ai (web)

Claude.ai supports MCP through its Integrations feature, available on Pro and Team plans.

Step 1: Go to Settings and then Integrations

In Claude.ai, open your profile menu and navigate to Settings and then Integrations.

Step 2: Add a new integration

Click Add integration and enter the MCP server URL you received when access was granted. Give it the name Artistu and save.

Step 3: Authorise

Claude will redirect you to Artistu to authorise the connection. Log in with your Artistu credentials and approve.

Step 4: Enable in conversations

When starting a conversation, enable the Artistu integration from the tools menu. You can now ask Claude about your bookings, artists, and finances directly.

Connect to Cursor

If you use Cursor and want access to Artistu data while building integrations or automations, you can add the MCP server to Cursor as well.

Open or create .cursor/mcp.json in your project and add an entry using the MCP server URL you received:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Artistu": {
      "url": "your-mcp-server-url"
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor and authorise through the browser prompt that appears.

Connect to other MCP-compatible clients

Any AI client that supports the Model Context Protocol (SSE transport) can connect to Artistu using the server URL provided to you on access. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0, so the client will open a browser window for you to authorise access to your Artistu account on the first connection.

Security and permissions

  • The AI assistant only has access to data within your organisation. It cannot access other agencies' data.
  • Each user authenticates with their own Artistu credentials. Permissions are enforced: a user without bookings.write access cannot create or modify bookings through the AI assistant either.
  • You can revoke access at any time from your Artistu account settings.

Tips for best results

  • Be specific about the artist. Mention the artist's name and the AI will look them up automatically. You never need to know an artist's internal ID.
  • Use natural date ranges. "Next month", "Q3 2026", "the week of June 10th" all work fine.
  • Combine actions. "Check if Maya Jane Coles is free the first weekend of September and create a booking at Berghain if she is" works as a single request.
  • Ask for summaries. "Summarise the financial status of all confirmed bookings in July" gives you a quick overview without opening individual records.
