The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
create_gathering — Create a new gatheringadd_expense — Add an expense for a membercalculate_reimbursements — Calculate reimbursements for a gatheringrecord_payment — Record a payment made by a memberrename_member — Rename an unnamed membershow_gathering — Show details of a gatheringlist_gatherings — List all gatheringsclose_gathering — Close a gatheringdelete_gathering — Delete a gatheringadd_member — Add a new member to a gatheringremove_member — Remove a member from a gatheringTODO — The TODO tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: GATHERINGS_DB_PATH, GATHERINGS_SCRIPT. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Among the payments and commerce options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Gatherings MCP's toolset — create_gathering, add_expense, calculate_reimbursements and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by abutbul; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
