Luma MCP Server

Connect Luma to Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants so they can find events for you

Luma’s MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT search Luma during a conversation. Ask “find AI hackathons in San Francisco this month”, “any run clubs near Williamsburg this weekend?”, or “what am I going to next week?” and the assistant pulls real events from Luma instead of guessing.

It can also access the events you host. Ask “how many people are approved for my dinner on Thursday?” and get the answer without opening your dashboard.

MCP (the Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI apps to tools and data. Luma’s server lives at:

https://mcp.luma.com

Anyone with a Luma account can connect — you don’t need Luma Plus.

What It Can Do

The MCP server is read-only. It can look things up, but it can’t create or edit events, message guests, approve registrations, or change anything in your account.

Discover events — search upcoming public events on Luma by keyword, location, and date range
Your events — list what you’re attending or hosting, upcoming or past, with the location and meeting details you have access to
Events you manage — full details for any event you manage: settings, hosts, ticket types, guest counts by status, and payment summary
Guests — list the guests on an event you manage, filter by approval status, search by name or email, and look up a single guest’s registration and tickets
Calendars — list the calendars you manage and get their details

The assistant only sees what you can see. For an event you manage, it gets the same data as your manage dashboard. For an event you’re attending, it gets the guest-facing details. Private events you have no connection to aren’t visible at all.

Connecting to Claude

Claude web and desktop apps (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan):

Luma is in Claude’s connector directory:

Open claude.ai/directory/luma — or find Luma under Settings → Connectors → Browse connectors
Click Connect — a Luma window opens
Sign in to Luma if needed and click Authorize

On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner enables the Luma connector for the organization first, and each member connects their own Luma account after that.

To use it in a chat, click the + button, choose Connectors, and make sure Luma is toggled on.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http luma https://mcp.luma.com

Then run /mcp and choose Luma to sign in.

Connecting to ChatGPT

Luma is in ChatGPT’s app directory:

Open Luma’s listing — or search for Luma at chatgpt.com/plugins
Click Connect — sign in to Luma if needed and click Authorize
In a chat, just mention Luma (“find AI events on Luma this weekend”) — or open the + menu and choose Luma

In Business, Enterprise, and Edu workspaces, apps can be turned off by the workspace admin. If the Connect button says it’s disabled, ask your admin to enable Luma under Workspace settings → Apps.

Other MCP Clients

Any client that supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP with OAuth will work — Cursor, VS Code, Zed, and others. Point it at https://mcp.luma.com and it will walk you through signing in to Luma. No API key or manual token setup is needed.

Access and Privacy

Connecting grants the AI app access to your Luma account — the same events, guests, and calendars you can see when signed in.
Results from these tools end up in your AI chat transcript. If you manage events with sensitive guest lists, keep that in mind before asking an assistant to pull them.
Luma admin permissions don’t carry over. Even Luma staff only see events they personally host or manage through MCP.
To disconnect, remove the Luma connector in Claude, ChatGPT, or whichever client you added it to.

Troubleshooting

If a connection isn’t working, check that you’re signed in to the right Luma account, then remove the connector and add it again.

If you’re building an integration rather than chatting with an assistant, the Luma API is probably what you want.
