What data it sees

Do you need an account

No: the server works without sign-in

Find Salsa and Bachata events and destination guides worldwide. Search Salsa Vida’s public listings by location, dates, dance, event type, Salsa style and language, then follow links to the original event and guide pages.

Four read-only tools: search_locations, search_events, get_event and get_guide. No authentication or API key is required. Searches default to the next 14 days, with a rolling year of scheduled dates available. Published translations are used where available, with a labeled English fallback.

Recurring dates reflect the recorded schedule, not organizer confirmation. Unknown prices, times and timezones remain unknown. The service covers public locations, qualifying upcoming events and existing guides; it excludes instructor profiles, articles, Dancepedia and private research.

Initial limits: approximately 120 tool calls per minute per network IP, 20 results by default, 50 per page and 10 pages per search. Please attribute Salsa Vida and link to the relevant result. Smithery connections may pass through its gateway; the direct endpoint is https://mcp.salsavida.com/mcp.
