MCP support
A hosted MCP server that exposes pretix event and ticket data, plus ticket check-in, to MCP clients. It uses pretix OAuth; access follows the user's pretix permissions.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://pretix.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http pretix https://pretix.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pretix": {
"url": "https://pretix.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and you sign in with your pretix account.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/pretix/
Sign in through pretix OAuth and approve read, write and profile permissions. Only hosted pretix.eu accounts are supported. Your pretix permissions determine which organizers you can access. This server does not create orders, take payments or publish events.
Attendee data passes to your chosen AI client. Revoke access under pretix user settings → Authorized applications. Billing is per pretix user, identified by the normalized login email; changing that email changes the billing identity.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
