Before asking a human for credentials, call the public tool zenshows_guide. It returns connection paths, troubleshooting for 401 errors, and first steps after auth. Unauthenticated tools/list exposes only this tool.

Authentication

  • OAuth 2.1 — Claude Desktop and Claude.ai connectors. Browser login at /mcp-login after the client receives HTTP 401.
  • API key — Cursor, scripts, headless clients. Keys start with zs_ from ZenShows Company Settings → API Access.

What you can do

  • Analytics via query_data on the data lake (llm_dl_* tables)
  • Staff reps on events — preview, then confirm
  • Build and replace day-by-day event schedules
  • Schedule Planner optimizer lifecycle (when permitted)
