Plan a Lexington outing with ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini

Prompts to copy

Paste one into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and fill in anything in brackets. They work best in an assistant that can open web pages. If yours can't, ask it to say so rather than answer from memory.

Open https://aroundlex.com/this-weekend and suggest three things to do in Lexington, Kentucky this weekend. For each one, give the date, start time, venue and price exactly as the page lists them, and link its Around Lex page. If a time or price isn't listed, say so instead of guessing. Remind me to check the organizer's own page before I go.

Using https://aroundlex.com/free-things-to-do and https://aroundlex.com/family-things-to-do, list free events in Lexington in the next two weeks that those pages list for families. Give each one's date, time and Around Lex link. Mention ages or accessibility only when the listing states them, and say when it doesn't.

Rain is forecast in Lexington on [day]. Look at https://aroundlex.com/rainy-day and https://aroundlex.com/events?tag=indoors and give me four ideas for that day, only from events those pages list as indoors, with the date, time, price and Around Lex link for each. Use only what those pages say, and tell me which page each fact came from.

I'm visiting Lexington for a UK home game on [date]. Read https://aroundlex.com/visit/uk-football-weekend and https://aroundlex.com/uk-game-days and help me plan the day around the game, with times and Around Lex links for each stop. Keep to what those pages list, and flag anything they say is not confirmed yet.

Using https://aroundlex.com/places and https://aroundlex.com/eat-and-drink, find [a coffee shop] near downtown Lexington. Give the name, address and official website from the listing, link its Around Lex page, and tell me when the listing was last checked. Don't add hours or details the listing doesn't give.

Use the Around Lex tools to find live music in Lexington this Friday night. For each show, give the time, venue and price from the tool answer, link its pageUrl, and remind me to check its sourceUrl before I go.

Connect the Around Lex MCP server

Some assistants can connect to a remote MCP server, often under a name like custom connector. Give it this address:

https://aroundlex.com/mcp

It needs no account or key, it can only read, and each address may send it 60 requests a minute. The address is for assistants, not a page to open in a browser. Its tools are:

• search_events: search lexington events.
• get_event: get one event.
• search_places: search lexington places.
• get_weekend: this weekend in lexington.
• get_guide: get one guide.

Every answer is short facts, like names, dates, times, venues and price lines, with the official source, the Around Lex page and when the listing was last checked. Our written summaries, guide text and photos stay on the site. The developer page has the technical details.

• 36 current guides
• Coverage: Lexington, plus Frankfort

What to keep in mind

• Around Lex does not list every event or business in Lexington. A listing is here only after we read the organizer's or venue's own page.
• Each listing says when we last checked it, and plans can change after that. An assistant's answer can be older than the page, so open the organizer's page before you buy tickets or drive.
• When an organizer hasn't published a time or a price, the listing says so. Ages appear only when the organizer lists them; no ages line means none were published. Ask your assistant not to fill those in, and not to guess whether something suits a child or is accessible.
• Event dates and times are Lexington time. If an assistant gives you a time that isn't on the page, check the page.
• You're welcome to link to any listing. The catalog is not licensed for republishing; see the reuse terms.
