Example Prompts
Find your people
- "I'm a product manager in Bengaluru — find me events where I can meet other PMs this week"
- "I'm looking to meet second-time founders in SF — what events should I go to?"
- "Find events in Mumbai where I can meet VCs and angel investors"
Never miss what matters
- "What AI events are happening in Bengaluru this week that most people don't know about?"
- "I'm visiting Singapore next week — what's the best tech event to attend?"
- "Show me all hackathons in the next 2 weeks across all cities"
Plan your week
- "Build me a networking calendar for SF this week — prioritize startup and founder events"
- "What are the top 5 events in Delhi this weekend for someone in the AI space?"
- "Compare what's happening in Bengaluru vs Chennai this week"
Discover hidden gems
- "Find small, intimate founder dinners in SF — not the big conferences"
- "What events in Pune have fewer than 50 guests? I want to actually meet people"
- "Show me events from organizers I haven't heard of in Hyderabad"
How It Works
Events are scraped from multiple sources every 2 hours — not just featured/curated pages, but also map pins and organizer calendars. This means we surface events that don't appear on Luma's discover page.
The MCP server fetches event data from hiddenevents.online (hosted on GitHub Pages) and caches it in memory. No API key needed. No database. Zero config.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
