About PredictHQ Event Intelligence MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire event research and demand auditing workflow with PredictHQ, the authoritative source for intelligent event data. By connecting PredictHQ to your agent, you transform complex event searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly search for global festivals, sports matches, and conferences, audit attendance rankings, and query specific location metadata without you ever touching an event portal. Whether you are conducting market demand research or managing regional operational constraints, your agent acts as a real-time event consultant, ensuring your data is always verified and precise.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings PredictHQ Event Intelligence data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 4 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Event Auditing — Search for thousands of global events by keyword or category and retrieve detailed metadata, including start times and rankings.
- Ranking Oversight — Audit the PredictHQ impact rank for specific events to understand the current industry lead in attendance scale instantly.
