Perplexity

Track door revenue inside Claude Desktop

The `get_event_revenue` and `list_upcoming_events` tools let your AI client pull live ticket sales data straight from your organizer account. You don't have to log into a dashboard to see how tonight's party is performing. Claude can grab the exact dollar amounts and ticket counts while you work on other tasks. If a promoter asks for an update on presales, you just ask your agent to check the numbers. It reads the current status and formats a clean summary of what sold in the last hour.

Monitor gate check-ins in real time

Using `list_scans` and `get_scan_stats`, this MCP server feeds live door entry metrics into your chat window. You get immediate visibility into how fast the line is moving and whether ticket validation is backing up at the main gate. When a venue manager needs to know if they should open another scanning lane, your agent pulls the stats. You see exactly how many attendees are inside versus still waiting, letting you make fast operational calls.

Resolve ticket disputes instantly

The `get_order` and `list_attendees` tools give you direct access to individual buyer records. When someone claims they never got their barcode, Claude can fetch the specific order ID and verify the purchase status right in the conversation. This cuts out the usual back-and-forth of hunting through admin panels. Your agent checks the data, confirms the ticket type, and tells you exactly what happened with that transaction.
