- Show gross and net sales for my spring workshop over the last month.
- Who has registered for my next event, with their email addresses?
- Which discount codes have been used, and how many times each?
What you can do with Eventbrite in Claude and ChatGPT
For event organizers who sell tickets on Eventbrite.
Check ticket sales and capacity of events
The AI reads the ticket types of an event with price and quantity sold, its capacity, and a sales report with gross, net and fees per time bucket.
See who registered and who checked in
The AI lists the attendees of one event or of all events with ticket type, status and check-in state, and reads one attendee.
Review orders and buyers
The AI lists orders of an event or organization with buyer name, email, status and costs, and reads one order with its tickets.
Check, create or change discount codes
The AI lists discounts and access codes with the number sold, creates a promo code, public discount or access code, and changes amount, uses or dates.
Changes dataCreate a draft event with tickets and publish it
The AI creates a draft event, adds a venue and ticket types with price and capacity, and then publishes it so tickets go on sale.
Changes dataCopy or change an existing event
The AI duplicates an event with its tickets into a new event with a new name and dates, or changes fields of an event.
Changes dataHow do I connect Eventbrite?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your Eventbrite private token.
Find it in Eventbrite → Account Settings → Developer Links → API Keys (or eventbrite.com/platform/api-keys) — copy the Private token, not the API key or client secret. Create an API key first if you have none. Your token is used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude Code
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Cursor
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"eventbrite": {
"url": "https://eventbrite.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"eventbrite": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://eventbrite.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Codex
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other clients
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Eventbrite private token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per user | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Eventbrite server only. Ask your AI to run eventbrite_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with eventbrite_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with eventbrite_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
eventbrite_usage_statusReport the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. - Request a missing feature
eventbrite_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the Eventbrite tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. - Upgrade to Pro or Pro+
eventbrite_upgradeGet a paid plan for Eventbrite (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. - Cancel the Pro subscription
eventbrite_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Eventbrite Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run eventbrite_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with Eventbrite in Claude or ChatGPT?
Check ticket sales and capacity of events. See who registered and who checked in. Review orders and buyers. Check, create or change discount codes. Create a draft event with tickets and publish it. Copy or change an existing event. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Eventbrite product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Eventbrite. The server calls the Eventbrite API with your own Eventbrite access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect Eventbrite to Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
What do I need to connect?
The login page asks for your Eventbrite private token. See Before you connect for where to find it.
Do I put my Eventbrite key or an Authorization header in the client config?
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Eventbrite private token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
How do you keep my Eventbrite credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Eventbrite API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Eventbrite.
Can the AI change my Eventbrite data?
Yes, if you approve it. 10 of the 26 Eventbrite tools can create or change data. The other 16 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
What does it cost?
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Eventbrite server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run eventbrite_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run eventbrite_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run eventbrite_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Eventbrite tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with eventbrite_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Which AI clients can I use?
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
