…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Cvent MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Cvent to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Share MCP Server access across your entire engineering team
This MCP Server lets developers run `list_events` to check event IDs without leaving their workspace, allowing you to share Cvent API access across your entire team. This setup ensures everyone writes integrations against the same live data. By using `get_account_details`, your team maintains consistent configuration settings across all local environments.
Build dynamic schedule widgets in VS Code Copilot
Querying `list_event_sessions` and `list_event_speakers` via this MCP Server pulls complete agenda details into your editor for building dynamic web schedule widgets. The agent then generates the HTML or React components populated with real names and bios. You skip the step of writing database queries because the tool feeds the exact schema directly to Copilot.
Validate registration flows with live Cvent data
Running `list_registration_types` allows your VS Code agent to fetch current ticket categories directly from the API, helping you validate registration flows. It can then mock user registrations or write integration tests that match your real-world setup. This keeps your checkout code accurate and prevents broken ticket selections.
