VenuClaw Everywhere

Take your venue expert with you.

Use InternationalVenues intelligence inside the AI and work tools you already use.

VenuClaw lets compatible AI assistants look up current venue intelligence from InternationalVenues.com — operated by Jigsaw Conferences Ltd — while you chat. It is read-only: your AI can research venues, but enquiries and bookings always happen with you, on InternationalVenues.com.

Gemini

LIMITED

Consumer Gemini does not yet offer a broadly available custom connection.

Set up step by step
  1. Gemini app: custom connections remain limited to specific accounts and regions
  2. Gemini CLI (developers): gemini mcp add --transport http venuclaw https://venues.jigsawconferences.co.uk/api/venuclaw/mcp

We show this honestly rather than implying a normal consumer connection exists.

Not currently supported: DeepSeek, Meta AI and consumer Microsoft Copilot do not yet offer a consumer route for custom connections like VenuClaw. We will add them if that changes.

Microsoft 365 Copilot

CONNECTEDENTERPRISE

Enterprise Ready · live in Microsoft 365 Copilot

VenuClaw is connected to Microsoft 365 Copilot through our authenticated enterprise MCP service, bringing live venue intelligence into the Microsoft 365 workflow — Copilot Chat, Excel and Researcher. Access is enabled and governed by your organisation, with Microsoft sign-in. Unlike the chat AIs above, this is not something an individual user pastes a URL into.

Open Microsoft 365 Copilot →

Sign in with your work account, open the plugin/connector picker and enable VenuClaw (your admin controls availability).

  • • Same read-only VenuClaw venue intelligence, delivered through Microsoft's governed enterprise channel
  • • Admin-managed: your organisation approves and controls access, with Microsoft Entra sign-in
  • • Copilot may also blend its own web results alongside VenuClaw — that behaviour is controlled by Microsoft and your tenant settings

Running events at an organisation on Microsoft 365 and want VenuClaw inside your Copilot? Talk to our team.

Research & knowledge tools

NOT A LIVE CONNECTION

NotebookLM works differently: it doesn't connect to VenuClaw, but it can read InternationalVenues pages as sources. Add any venue or destination page URL from InternationalVenues.com as a website source in your notebook, and NotebookLM will ground its answers in that page — with our published venue facts rather than guesswork.

This uses NotebookLM's standard website-source feature. It is a snapshot of the page, not live VenuClaw data.

Try it once connected

“Find conference venues in Birmingham for 400 people using VenuClaw, and tell me where the information came from.”

Your AI decides when to use VenuClaw. Many assistants let you save a preference like “use VenuClaw when I ask about venues”.

What VenuClaw can access

VenuClaw receives only the information your AI sends when it uses VenuClaw to perform venue research — typically a city, keywords or a venue name.

It cannot read your AI memories or other conversations, does not monitor anything you do, and connecting does not train any AI model on your data.

It returns publicly listed venue information only — never private owner, customer or account data — and every result carries a canonical InternationalVenues.com source reference so your AI can attribute what it tells you. How your AI presents citations is controlled by that platform.

Disconnect any time from your AI's connector or app settings. We record aggregate, privacy-safe usage counts (searches, venues returned) — nothing personal.

Advanced / Manual setup (developers & enterprise)

VenuClaw Connect is a remote MCP server (JSON-RPC 2.0 over Streamable HTTP), read-only, no key required, rate-limited.

https://venues.jigsawconferences.co.uk/api/venuclaw/mcp

Tools: search_venues, get_venue, research_destination, compare_venues, get_jigsaw_expert_guidance. All tools carry readOnlyHint annotations, and every venue result includes structured provenance (source, canonical URLs, verification status).

{ "mcpServers": { "venuclaw": { "url": "https://venues.jigsawconferences.co.uk/api/venuclaw/mcp" } } }
