What is the Meetup MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire community ecosystem with Meetup, the world's most trusted platform for finding and building local communities. By connecting Meetup to your agent, you transform complex group management into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list upcoming events, audit group memberships, and retrieve detailed event metadata without you ever touching a dashboard. Whether you are a community organizer or a frequent attendee, your agent acts as a real-time community coordinator, ensuring your event calendar is always monitored and your community reach is quantified.
What you can do
- Event Auditing — List all upcoming events for any group and retrieve detailed metadata, including times and event URLs.
- Group Oversight — Search for new groups by keyword and monitor community distribution across your interests.
- Member Administration — Query member lists for your groups to stay on top of your community growth and participation.
- Event Intelligence — Retrieve full descriptions and details for specific events to ensure organizational alignment.
- Discovery Monitoring — Browse and identify new community opportunities through high-speed keyword search.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Meetup Access Token?
You must perform an OAuth 2.0 flow to generate a Bearer Token for your account. Please refer to the Meetup API documentation 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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
