SyncSo Overview

SyncSo MCP server gives AI assistants access to live New York events, activities, and experiences. It uses a hosted MCP endpoint with two tools: `find_things_to_do` for discovery and `get_details` for item information. Results can include dates, times, prices, booking links, and images across categories such as music, theater, classes, markets, and nightlife. Reach for it when an agent needs current, bookable suggestions rather than static place or guidebook information.
