Read your Modern Events Calendar events with an AI agent

WP MCP gives an AI agent a curated read view of your Modern Events Calendar events: list what’s coming up, and read any event’s full schedule without needing to know MEC’s mec_* meta-key names.

What you need

• WP MCP installed and connected to your AI client.
• Modern Events Calendar active (the free version is enough). WP MCP registers the mec-read ability when the mec-events post type is present.

List what’s on

› What events are coming up, and when?
› List the events in August with their dates.

The agent calls mec-read with list-events and gets each event’s id, title, status, and start/end date, newest first.

Read a schedule

› Read the Launch Party event, tell me its start and end time, whether it's
  all-day, and its location.

get-event returns a curated schedule: start_date, end_date, start_time, end_time, all_day, location_id, organizer_id, and cost, resolved from MEC’s meta so the agent works with named fields.

The Events Calendar works the same way

If you run The Events Calendar instead of (or alongside) MEC, it has its own curated read surface, tec-read, with the same list-events and get-event operations. TEC keeps its schedule in underscore-prefixed _Event* meta that the generic tools hide, so the dedicated read is what surfaces those fields as clean named values. Same prompts, same shape.

Creating and editing events

The mec-read surface is read-only, but MEC events are an ordinary custom post type, so an agent can create and edit them through WP MCP’s general content tools:

› Create a new event titled "Autumn Fair" as a draft.

That runs create-post with post_type: mec-events, and, like every WP MCP write, it is snapshotted first so you can roll it back in one click. Set the mec_* schedule meta the same way, through the content tools, and the event shows up in the curated get-event read.
