Use it from your agent

Give your agent this line. It reads SKILL.md, gets a Fous API key and connects the Fous MCP server. Its run then takes the method setlist.fm/get_tour_song_stats with the inputs above.

Ask your agent

  • Which songs did Metallica play most often on the M72 World Tour, and how many shows were counted?
  • Pull the most-played songs from Taylor Swift's Eras Tour on setlist.fm, including what percentage of concerts each one appeared in
  • What were Pearl Jam's most frequently performed songs in 2024? Flag any covers and who originally wrote them.
  • I'm going to see Coldplay soon — what songs have they been playing most on their latest tour?
  • Check setlist.fm for Bruce Springsteen's song play counts for 2023 and tell me how often each track showed up across the concerts
  • Get one artist's concert details and songs from setlist.fm by date or city. With only a city, returns the most recent matching concert there. Start times are local clock times because the pages do not supply a timezone.

    setlist.fm/get_concert_setlist
  • Gets an artist's upcoming concerts and tour dates on Songkick, optionally filtered by country, with ticket links and start times when listed.

  • Finds a Spotify song by title (optionally narrowed by artist), track link, URI or track ID and returns its public play count and details. Without an artist, the most-played exact title match wins. Previews and ISRC may be unavailable for some tracks.
