Create Event Invitations With Claude
Claude is good at the parts of an event that are writing and thinking, and useless at the parts that are a product: a designed invitation, a guest list that behaves, and RSVPs that arrive somewhere countable.
Connecting CarlyEvents gives it those. There are 59 tools behind the connection, covering designing invitations, importing guests, sending mail, tracking replies and opens, and running check-in at the door.
Connect it with one command
If you use Claude Code, this is the whole setup:
claude mcp add --transport http carly-events \
https://carlyevents.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer evk_your_key"In the Claude app, add the same endpoint under Customize → Connectors.
You get the key from a free account at carlyevents.com. You can also skip the browser entirely: signup and verification are tools, so Claude can sign you up with your email address and take the code that arrives.
The thing that makes this safe to hand over
Mail is explicit and separate from everything else. Sending invitations, messaging guests, scheduling reminders, and cancelling are each their own deliberate call. Everything else, including creating the event and importing a hundred people, emails nobody.
Creating an event returns a one-time link that signs you into your own account and shows the invitation and the event page exactly as they will go out, with one button to send. It works once and lasts a day.
So Claude can build the entire event while you are still making up your mind, and the send is always yours.
Ask for the event
Create an invitation for the Q4 offsite dinner on November 14 at 7pm at Fifty Seven Grand. Understated, no confetti. Add a question about dietary requirements and a second one asking if they need parking. Don’t send yet, give me the preview link.
Claude picks from 48 occasions with 11 designs each and edits the colors and words to match what you asked for. If you want something entirely your own, hand it your HTML and it starts from that instead.
Run the list, then the follow-up
The second week is the actual work: chasing people.
Import this spreadsheet. Group couples into households and tag the partner list separately.
Duplicate last quarter’s offsite, keep the guest list, change the date to the 14th, and don’t send.
Schedule a reminder for the 7th to everyone who hasn’t answered.
How many are we catering for, counting plus-ones, and who’s on the waitlist?
Guests answer by clicking their link or by replying to the invitation in plain words. Both are recorded identically, so a reply saying “in, bringing Claire” is counted without anyone transcribing it.
The rest of the workflow
Because CarlyEvents is part of Carly, the event does not end at the guest list. Carly runs over your email and calendar and connects to thousands of apps, so accepted RSVPs can land on your calendar and the follow-up can fire on a trigger. Free Zapier-style workflows; AI agents from $35/month.
The same setup in ChatGPT is create event invitations with ChatGPT. For the browser route, see AI invitation maker, and for the work version, corporate event invitations.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
