Manage Attendees Without Leaving Chat

This tool connects Claude directly to your HeySummit attendee list. Ask your agent to register a new person for a talk, and it uses the `add_attendee` tool to get them signed up with just a name and email. Need to see who's coming to the keynote? Tell Claude to `list_attendees` for a specific event. It pulls the live roster straight from HeySummit, so you don't have to mess with CSV exports or log into another platform.

Plan Your Summit in Real Time

Get a complete overview of your event schedule from the chat prompt. Your agent can `list_events`, `list_speakers`, and `list_talks` to give you a full picture of what's on the agenda. It's faster than clicking through a web UI. Once you have the overview, you can drill down. Ask for details on a single session with `get_talk` or check a speaker's bio using `get_speaker`. Claude fetches the data and lays it out for you, keeping your planning focused.

Update Event Details on the Fly with this MCP Server

Things change. When they do, just tell your agent what needs updating. It uses the `update_event` tool to push changes to your summit's start time, description, or title directly to the HeySummit platform. This isn't just for big fixes. You can correct typos, reassign categories with `list_categories`, or tweak talk titles instantly. This MCP Server becomes the quickest way to manage your live event content.
