Connect Claude & ChatGPT to The Events Calendar

Ask your AI which events are coming up on your WordPress site, where an event takes place, or to change an event's date or price. It can list and search events by date, category, tag, venue or organizer, and read venues and organizers. It can also update events, venues and organizers, and the changes show on your live site.

Questions

What can the AI do in The Events Calendar?

The AI can list, search and read events, venues, organizers, event categories and event tags on your WordPress site. It can update events, venues and organizers if you switch those tools on.

Does the AI see my The Events Calendar credentials?

No. Your The Events Calendar 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. Updates change your live site, and they can require your approval before they run. 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. The Events Calendar runs on your own WordPress site.

Can the AI create or delete events?

No. The AI can list, read and update events, venues and organizers, but there are no tools for creating or deleting them. Create new events in WordPress as you do today, and the AI can then read and edit them.
