Event management and ticketing MCP servers let AI agents discover live events, manage calendars, create event pages, and automate registration workflows. The ecosystem splits sharply: calendaring is now mature and officially supported (Google launched official Calendar MCP in Developer Preview), while ticketing and event management remain early-stage with mostly read-only API wrappers.
This review covers the event management and ticketing vertical — calendar scheduling, ticket discovery, event platforms, community events, and conference navigation. For meeting/video call servers, see our Communication & Messaging MCP review. For restaurant/venue booking, see our Food & Restaurant MCP review.
The headline finding: Google shipped official Calendar MCP — a remote MCP server at calendarmcp.googleapis.com/mcp/v1 with 8 tools and OAuth 2.0 authentication. This is the first major platform to offer official MCP support in this category. Meanwhile, the community side continues to grow, with nspady/google-calendar-mcp holding at 1,100 stars and taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp reaching 2,200 stars. But outside calendaring, no Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, or Live Nation official servers exist.

Calendar & Scheduling
Google Official Calendar MCP (Developer Preview)
| Server | Transport | Auth | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| calendarmcp.googleapis.com | Remote HTTP | OAuth 2.0 | 8 |
The biggest development in this category since our original review. Google launched an official remote MCP server for Calendar as part of the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program. Tools include:
- create_event / update_event / delete_event — full event lifecycle
- get_event / list_events / list_calendars — read operations
- respond_to_event — accept/decline invitations
- suggest_time — AI-powered scheduling suggestions
The server lives at https://calendarmcp.googleapis.com/mcp/v1 and works with Gemini CLI, Claude, and any MCP-compatible client. It inherits the user’s existing Google Workspace permissions and data governance controls — no separate authorization model needed.
Google also launched official MCP servers for Gmail (10 tools), Google Drive (7 tools), People API (3 tools), and Google Chat (2 tools) as part of the same Workspace MCP initiative. This makes Google the first major productivity platform to ship official MCP across multiple services.
Google Calendar MCP (Community)
| Server | Stars | Language | License | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| nspady/google-calendar-mcp | 1,100 | TypeScript | MIT | 12 |
The most popular community calendar MCP server and one of the highest-starred in this entire review. Features:
- Multi-account — connect multiple Google accounts simultaneously
- Multi-calendar — manage events across different calendars
- Smart scheduling — detect overlapping events across accounts
- Free/busy queries — check availability before scheduling
- Recurring events — modify single instances or entire series
- Intelligent import — extract calendar data from images, PDFs, and web links
- RSVP control — accept/decline/tentative with per-instance granularity
The intelligent import feature is particularly useful — paste a screenshot of a conference schedule and it creates calendar events automatically.
Google Workspace MCP (Community)
| Server | Stars | Language | License | Services |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp | 2,200 | Python | MIT | 12 |
The most-starred community server touching Google Calendar — though it’s a comprehensive Workspace MCP, not calendar-specific. Covers Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Chat, Tasks, Contacts, Apps Script, and Custom Search. Features OAuth 2.1 multi-user support, tiered tool loading (core/extended/complete), read-only mode, and stateless container-friendly deployment. If you need calendar plus other Google services from a single MCP server, this is the leading option.
shade-solutions/calender-mcp
| Server | Stars | Language | License | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| shade-solutions/calender-mcp | 1 | TypeScript | — | 60+ |
The most feature-rich calendar MCP server by tool count. Built on Smithery with 60+ tools across 8 categories:
- Basic operations — CRUD, colors, settings, ACLs
- Event management — quick add, move between calendars, instances
- Advanced scheduling — working location, out-of-office, focus time, appointment slots, optimal time finding
- Analytics — time analysis, meeting effectiveness, calendar utilization, event categorization
- Batch operations — bulk create/delete/update, duplicate series, search-and-replace
- Integration — export to formats, AI event extraction from text, travel time blocking, conflict detection
The analytics tools are unique in the calendar space — no other server offers meeting effectiveness scoring or calendar utilization reports.
Additional Google Calendar Implementations
At least 8 more Google Calendar MCP servers exist:
- guinacio/mcp-google-calendar — scheduling and availability checking
- deciduus/calendar-mcp — Python-based, natural language operations
- markelaugust74/mcp-google-calendar — event creation via Claude
- feamster/calendar-mcp — Google Calendar MCP server
- surana-mudit/google-calendar-mcp — another community implementation
- KhurramDevOps/Google_Calender_MCP — automation and synchronization
The duplication pattern is extreme — Google Calendar may have more MCP implementations than any other single API.
Apple Calendar / macOS
| Server | Stars | Language | License | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Omar-V2/mcp-ical | 304 | Python | MIT | ~5 |
The most popular Apple Calendar MCP server. Uses PyObjC to interact directly with macOS Calendar (not iCloud API), supporting:

Event Platforms
Eventbrite
| Server | Stars | Language | License | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| joshuachestang/eventbrite-mcp-server | 2 | JavaScript | MIT | 8 |
The most complete Eventbrite implementation with full event lifecycle management:
create_event/update_event/publish_event/cancel_eventlist_events/get_eventcreate_venuelist_categories
This is one of the few event MCP servers that supports write operations — most are read-only discovery tools.
Two additional Eventbrite implementations:
- vishalsachdev/eventbrite-mcp (2 stars, API Blueprint, MIT) — event listing with planned analytics and attendee management
- punkpeye/eventbrite-mcp (1 star, JavaScript, MIT, 4 tools) — search, details, categories, and venue lookup
The Events Calendar (WordPress)

- Speaker tools — lookup by ID or name
- Team tools — search members by team, name, or description/links
- Conference info — theme, Code of Conduct, SITCON mission
A good template for how smaller conferences can make their events AI-navigable without building complex infrastructure.
Event Information MCP
ajot/event-information-mcp-server (0 stars, Python) uses DigitalOcean’s Gradient AI platform for event discovery with speaker information and schedule management. Supports remote deployment on DigitalOcean App Platform.
Commercial & Enterprise
Eventtia has publicly committed to making their enterprise event platform MCP-accessible, describing “agentic event software” where organizers state outcomes in natural language (“set up registration for 500 VIPs with tiered pricing, approval workflows, and custom badge printing”) and AI agents handle configuration. No public server exists yet, but Eventtia’s framing — “the competitive question changes from ‘which platform has the best interface?’ to ‘which platform exposes the richest capabilities to agents?'” — signals where the industry is heading.
What’s Missing
The calendar gap has narrowed significantly with Google’s official MCP, but event management and ticketing gaps remain substantial:
- No official ticketing platform servers — Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, Live Nation, StubHub, Dice, AXS — none have released official MCP servers
- No virtual event platforms — Hopin (now RingCentral Events), Zoom Events, Airmeet, Gather, Run The World — zero MCP presence
- No event check-in — no badge printing, no attendee scanning, no door management (beyond quick-event-mcp’s QR codes)
- No event logistics — no catering management, vendor coordination, floor plan tools, or A/V management
- No venue booking — no availability systems, room reservation, or space management
- No event analytics — no ROI tracking, attendee engagement scoring, or post-event reporting
- No volunteer management — no shift scheduling, role assignment, or communication
- No hybrid event tools — no streaming integration, virtual/in-person bridging, or breakout room management
- No festival/multi-day management — no stage scheduling, artist management, or multi-venue coordination
The Bottom Line
The event management and ticketing MCP ecosystem remains split: calendaring is now officially supported by Google (Developer Preview, 8 tools, remote MCP) alongside mature community options (nspady at 1,100 stars, google_workspace_mcp at 2,200 stars, mcp-ical at 304 stars, plus iCloud Calendar via CalDAV). But event management proper is still early-stage. Most ticketing servers are thin read-only wrappers around discovery APIs. The few write-capable servers (joshuachestang’s Eventbrite, The Events Calendar) are promising but low-traction.
The biggest remaining opportunity: official MCP servers from major ticketing platforms. Eventbrite alone processes billions of dollars in ticket sales — an official MCP server enabling agents to create events, manage attendees, and track sales would be immediately useful. Eventtia’s “agentic event software” vision points the way, but the industry hasn’t followed yet.
Rating: 3.5 / 5 — Google’s official Calendar MCP is a landmark, but it strengthens an already-mature subcategory. Ticketing, event logistics, and virtual events remain wide open.
