Coliven for AI
Ask who’s waiting on your approval, what a weekend actually took, or draft next season’s retreat — without copying anything out of a browser tab.
https://coliven.com/api/mcpNo API key, no token to paste. It sets itself up.
Setup
Coliven speaks MCP — the open standard for connecting an assistant to a service you already use. Pick your agent and follow its three steps.
You need to be a host — someone running at least one community or event. Not yet? List your community and the connection starts working the moment your first listing exists, with nothing to reconnect.
Permissions
Your agent registers itself and the only credential involved is your ordinary Coliven sign-in — Google, or your email and password. Coliven never hands an agent your password.
coliven:read
See the communities and events you host, their pricing tiers, and who has registered — including attendee names, emails, and any answers they gave you.
coliven:write
Create and edit events, publish or unpublish them, change pricing tiers, and approve or decline registration requests.
The assistant only ever sees your own hosting data. It cannot read another host’s events, and you can disconnect it at any time from your agent.
Capabilities
Eight that read, nine that change something. A marked tool is one whose effect leaves the building — the assistant is told to check with you in words first, and each reports afterwards what it actually did.
list_my_events
The events you host, with live headcounts and how many people are waiting on you.
get_event
One event in full — every ticket tier with live counts, plus anything blocking publication.
list_event_attendees
The roster for one event. Emails and questionnaire answers only when asked for.
get_event_sales_summary
What an event has actually collected, per tier and in total.
list_my_communities
The communities you host or cohost.
get_community
One community in full, grouped the way the host editor groups it.
search_public_events
Other people's published events — what else is on in a city, and at what price.
search_public_communities
Other people's published communities, for scouting venues and partners.
create_event_draft
A new event as an unpublished draft. Can clone an existing event’s ticket tiers.
update_event
Edit one event. Only the fields it sends change.
Emails attendees if the date or link changes
publish_event
Preview what publishing would do, then publish.
Emails community followers
unpublish_event
Hides the page again. Not a cancellation — nobody is told anything.
set_event_pricing_tiers
Replaces the whole tier list, refusing if someone else changed it meanwhile.
approve_event_registration
Approves one pending request.
Captures their payment
decline_event_registration
Declines one pending request and releases its payment hold.
Emails the requester
cancel_registration
Cancels a confirmed registration and frees the seat. Issues no refund.
Optionally emails them
update_community
Edit a community’s profile and details. Announces nothing.
Boundaries
Not discouraged — impossible. There is no tool that performs any of this, so no instruction can produce it.
Attendee details are requested per call, never bulk-loaded, and dietary preferences and allergens are never shared at all. Keep per-call confirmation switched on in your agent: event text and attendee answers are written by other people, and your confirmation is the backstop on anything that moves money.
In practice
“Who is still waiting on my approval across all my events?”
Checks every event at once
“Show me the roster for the Bali retreat, and who hasn’t answered the questionnaire.”
Pulls answers only when asked
“How much has Tree Week collected so far, and how much of that is contributions?”
Gross, per tier and in total
“Set up a repeat of last year’s workshop in March, same ticket tiers, dates to be announced.”
Creates a draft — publishes nothing
“Is the Lisbon retreat ready to publish? Walk me through what’s missing.”
Uses the saved pre-flight prompt
“What else is happening in Lisbon the same week as my retreat?”
Searches other hosts’ public events
Help
The connection works, there is just no data behind it yet. Create a community or an event and try again — you do not need to reconnect.
Hosting the community an event belongs to is not the same as hosting the event. Ask whoever created it to add you as a host of the event itself.
Sign in to coliven.com in the same browser first, then start the connection again.
Reconnect and approve both permissions. Read-only cannot change anything and write-only cannot read — most useful requests need both.
Still stuck? Get in touch and mention the tool name the assistant reported.
Paste this wherever your agent adds a connector.
