# eventbrite-mcp

> This project was developed and is maintained by AI (Claude Code). Use at your own discretion.

MCP server for [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com): your tickets and
orders, organizer data (events, attendees, orders), any public event by id,
and public event **search** — which Eventbrite removed from its documented
API in 2019 and now only exists on the consumer site.

Two data paths, matched to how Eventbrite is reachable:

- **Documented API** (`eventbriteapi.com/v3`) — plain server-side HTTPS with a
  personal OAuth token (`EVENTBRITE_TOKEN`, free: [create one](https://www.eventbrite.com/platform/api-keys)).
  Powers the account, organizer, event-by-id, and reference tools.
- **Consumer discovery API** (`www.eventbrite.com/api/v3/destination/…`) — the
  site WAF-blocks server-side clients, so search routes through your own
  signed-in eventbrite.com browser tab via the
  [fetchproxy](https://github.com/chrischall/fetchproxy) bridge (ContextMint
  Bridge extension), reusing your authenticated session. Powers `eb_search_events`,
  `eb_resolve_place`, `eb_event_details`, `eb_healthcheck`.

All tools are read-only.

## Setup

```sh
npm install -g @chrischall/eventbrite-mcp
```

Claude Code (`.mcp.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eventbrite": {
      "command": "eventbrite-mcp",
      "env": { "EVENTBRITE_TOKEN": "your-private-token" }
    }
  }
}
```

- Without `EVENTBRITE_TOKEN` the server still boots; account tools error
  helpfully on first use, and discovery tools work regardless.
- For discovery tools: install ContextMint Bridge from its
  [releases](https://github.com/nullnet-app/contextmint-bridge/releases)
  (unzip the chrome zip and load it unpacked; use Chrome for now — Safari
  support will ship inside the ContextMint app, which has no public download
  yet), keep an eventbrite.com tab open, and approve the
  one-time pair prompt (the prompt covers the `csrftoken` cookie read the
  search POST needs). Run
  `eb_healthcheck` to verify the hop (with no token it checks the bridge; with
  a token it checks the token).
- ContextMint Bridge is the fetchproxy browser extension under its new name,
  from the same maintainer — fetchproxy's own
  [README](https://github.com/chrischall/fetchproxy#extension) points to it.
  Its source is public at
  [nullnet-app/contextmint-bridge](https://github.com/nullnet-app/contextmint-bridge):
  build it yourself, or check a release zip against the `.sha256` file
  published beside it
  (`shasum -a 256 -c contextmint-bridge-chrome-<version>.zip.sha256`).

## Tools

| Tool | Path | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `eb_me` | token | your profile |
| `eb_my_orders` | token | your tickets, event expanded |
| `eb_my_organizations` | token | organizer orgs |
| `eb_org_events` / `eb_org_attendees` / `eb_org_orders` | token | organizer data |
| `eb_org_venues` / `eb_org_discounts` / `eb_org_ticket_groups` / `eb_org_webhooks` | token | org-scoped collections |
| `eb_org_report` | token | sales / attendees analytics, date-windowed |
| `eb_event` / `eb_event_description` | token | any public event by id |
| `eb_ticket_classes` / `eb_ticket_class` | token | an event's ticket types |
| `eb_event_attendees` / `eb_event_attendee` | token | per-event attendees (`changed_since` polls incrementally) |
| `eb_event_orders` | token | per-event orders |
| `eb_event_questions` | token | registration questions (`canned: true` for the standard bank) |
| `eb_order` | token | a single order by id |
| `eb_venue` / `eb_venue_events` | token | venue detail and its events |
| `eb_organizer` / `eb_organizer_events` | token | organizer profile and everything they run |
| `eb_series_events` | token | occurrences of a recurring series |
| `eb_user` | token | a public user profile |
| `eb_reference` | token | categories / subcategories / formats / timezones / countries / regions |
| `eb_resolve_place` | token | location → place id (`Charlotte, NC` → `85981333`), plus browse shelves |
| `eb_search_events` | token | the consumer search; `compact: true` for slim results, `aggs` for facets |
| `eb_event_details` | token | batch event detail |
| `eb_healthcheck` | token, else bridge | with a token: probes `GET /users/me/` and reports `error.kind` (`credential_rejected`, `edge_blocked` for a CDN/WAF block page, `timeout`, `http`, `transport`); without one: diagnoses the bridge discovery falls back to and says the token is missing (`no_credential` when there is no bridge either) |

Search flow: `eb_resolve_place {location: "Charlotte, NC"}` →
`eb_search_events {q: "blues", place_id: "85981333", compact: true}`.

`eb_resolve_place` also accepts a raw slug (`nc--charlotte`). A bare city with
no state or country is rejected rather than guessed.

## Development

```sh
npm install
npm test          # node suite
npm run build     # tsc + esbuild bundle
```
