You must perform an OAuth 2.0 flow to generate a Bearer Token for your account. Please refer to the [**Meetup API documentation**](https://www.meetup.com/api/guide/#authentication) for setup steps. Copy and paste it below.

Can the agent list upcoming events for any group?

Yes. Use the `list_upcoming_events` tool providing the group's `urlname`. Your agent will retrieve the next 10 events, including their titles and scheduled times.

Is it possible to search for new communities via the agent?

Yes. The `search_groups` tool allows your agent to query the Meetup platform for groups matching a specific keyword, helping you discover new community opportunities.
