Set up in three steps

1
Pick the app
Create a free PipMCP account and choose Cvent from the app list.
2
Paste your key
Paste your Cvent API host (api-platform.cvent.com for North America or api-platform-eur.cvent.com for Europe), a Client ID and a Client secret. The extra headers field is optional. First a Cvent admin opens Integrations › REST API, clicks + Create Workspace, selects the scopes and invites you as a developer. Accept the invite, sign in at developers.cvent.com, open Applications and create a machine-to-machine application in that workspace. Then copy its Client ID and Client secret. PipMCP exchanges these for short-lived access automatically.
3
Add the link to your AI
You get a personal MCP link. Add it to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor:
1. Click your name, then Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector.
2. Paste your link as the Remote MCP server URL.
3. Switch it on from the + menu in a chat.

Questions

What can the AI do in Cvent?

It can list and read events, attendees, registration types, orders, payment transactions, sessions, session enrollments and attendance, speakers, event emails, surveys, contacts and contact groups. It can check attendees in, add a contact to a contact group and send an event email to up to 200 attendees at a time.

Does the AI see my Cvent credentials?

No. Your Cvent credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Sending an event email reaches attendees right away and can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Cvent account.

Why does a Cvent admin need to create a workspace?

Cvent gives API access through workspaces. An admin creates the workspace under Integrations › REST API, picks the scopes and invites you as a developer. You then create a machine-to-machine application in that workspace, and its Client ID and Client secret are what you paste into PipMCP. The scopes decide what the AI can reach.
