How to use the XCEED (MCP) and AI
Connect your XCEED account to AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and manage your events just by typing what you need.
With the XCEED MCP you can ask your AI assistant to show you your upcoming events, check how your tickets are set up, creates events, floor plans or add-ons for you.
1. What the XCEED MCP is
The XCEED MCP is a connection between your XCEED Pro account and an AI assistant. It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI platforms that support MCP connections. Once you connect them, your assistant can read your XCEED Pro data and, if you allow it, make changes for you.
You don't need any technical knowledge to use it. You write what you want in normal words, and your assistant takes care of the rest.
2. Before you start
You need an XCEED Pro account with organiser access to the company you want to manage. You can't see any information form other companies or venues
No charge from XCEED: you'll need an AI assistant plan that supports connectors (Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini). Check section 3 to see which plans support connections. Most tests were done on Claude

You can use your desktop or mobile as long as you have the respective AI tool apps
No changes are made without your confirmation
You still have available to you the XCEED support team and your account manager
3. Connect the XCEED MCP to your AI assistant
Pick the platform you use and follow only that section.
3.1 Claude
You can use XCEED with any Claude plan. On the free plan you can only add one custom connector.
3.1.1 Add the connector
Open Claude at claude.ai or in the desktop app.
Go to Customize and click Connectors.
Click the + button and select Add custom connector.
In the name field, type XCEED.
In the URL field, paste https://mcp.xceed-services.me/mcp
Click Add.
3.1.2 Sign in with your XCEED account
Click Connect next to the XCEED connector.
A new window opens. Log in with the same email and password you use for XCEED Pro.
Click Allow to give Claude access.
3.1.3 Turn on the connector in a chat
Open a new chat.
Click the + button at the bottom of the chat box.
Select Connectors and make sure XCEED is switched on.
Connectors you add on claude.ai also work in the Claude mobile app.
3.2 ChatGPT
You need a paid ChatGPT plan (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu). The free plan doesn't support connections. You also need to set it up on the ChatGPT website first, not the app.
3.2.1 Turn on developer mode
Go to chatgpt.com and log in.
Open Settings and click Apps & Connectors.
Click Advanced and switch on Developer mode.
3.2.2 Add the connector
In Apps & Connectors, click Create.
In the name field, type XCEED.
In the URL field, paste https://mcp.xceed-services.me/mcp
If you're asked to choose how to sign in, select OAuth.
Click Create.
3.2.3 Sign in with your XCEED account
A new window opens. Log in with the same email and password you use for XCEED Pro.
Click Allow to give ChatGPT access.
3.2.4 Turn on the connector in a chat
Open a new chat.
Click the + button at the bottom of the chat box.
Select XCEED from the list.
3.3 Gemini
3.3.1 Add the connector
Log in to Gemini Enterprise.
Go to Connected apps and click Add MCP Server.
In the name field, type XCEED.
In the URL field, paste https://mcp.xceed-services.me/mcp
Fill in the sign-in details.
Save the connection and switch it on. New connections start switched off.
3.3.2 Sign in with your XCEED account
When asked, log in with the same email and password you use for XCEED Pro.
Click Allow to give Gemini access.
4. Use the XCEED MCP
These steps are the same on every platform. Check out more examples on what you can do under the tab "What you can ask" or here
4.1 Ask for information
Type your question like you would ask a colleague. For example:
"Show me my upcoming events."
"What tickets are on sale for [event name]?"
"Which add-ons are attached to the general admission ticket?"
4.2 Make changes
Tell your assistant exactly what you want to change and on which event. For example:
"Add a t-shirt add-on with sizes S, M, L and XL to the general admission ticket for [event name]. Each ticket holder picks one size."
"Remove the drink pack from the VIP ticket."
Your assistant checks what's already set up, makes the change, then shows you the result.
4.3 Approve each action
Before your assistant changes anything, it asks for your permission. Read what it's about to do and confirm only if it's correct. If something looks wrong, say no and explain what you want instead.
4.4 Check the result
After any change, open the event in XCEED Pro and check that everything looks the way you expect.
5. Tips for better results
Always include the event name, or paste the event link from XCEED Pro.
Ask for one change at a time.
If you're not sure what your assistant will do, ask it first: "Explain what you would change before doing it."
Try new setups on a test event before using them on a live one.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Your assistant can't find XCEED
Check that the XCEED connector is switched on in your chat (see section 3 for your platform).
6.2 You can't find the option to add a connector
Check that your plan supports connections. On ChatGPT, make sure Developer mode is on. If you use a company account, your admin may need to allow connectors first.
6.3 Your assistant says you don't have access
Make sure you're logged in with the XCEED account that has organiser access to that company. If you are, contact support@xceed.me.
6.4 The change doesn't show in XCEED Pro
Refresh the page. If it still doesn't show, ask your assistant to check the event again, or contact support@xceed.me.
If you have any other questions check our FAQ page or contact support@xceed.me
