### Environment Variables

Create a `.env` file in your project root or set the following environment variables:

```bash
# Required
EVENTBRITE_API_TOKEN=your_eventbrite_api_token

# Optional
EVENTBRITE_API_URL=https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3  # Default API URL
EVENTBRITE_TIMEOUT=30000                              # Request timeout in ms
EVENTBRITE_RETRIES=3                                  # Number of retry attempts
```

### Getting an Eventbrite API Token

1. Go to [Eventbrite API Keys Page](https://www.eventbrite.com/platform/api-keys)

## Using as a Library

### Option 1: MCP-Auth Integration (Multi-Tenant)

For multi-tenant applications using [@prmichaelsen/mcp-auth](https://github.com/prmichaelsen/mcp-auth):

```typescript
import { createEventbriteServer } from '@prmichaelsen/eventbrite-mcp/factory';
import { wrapServer } from '@prmichaelsen/mcp-auth';

const wrappedServer = wrapServer({
  serverFactory: (accessToken: string, userId: string) => {
    return createEventbriteServer(accessToken, userId);
  },
  authProvider: new FirebaseAuthProvider({ projectId: 'your-project' }),
  tokenResolver: new PlatformTokenResolver({
    platformUrl: 'https://your-platform.com',
    serviceToken: process.env.PLATFORM_SERVICE_TOKEN
  }),
  resourceType: 'eventbrite',
  transport: { type: 'sse', port: 8080, basePath: '/mcp' }
});

await wrappedServer.start();
```

### Option 2: Individual Tool Usage (OpenAI Agents)

Import and use individual tools in your applications:

```typescript
import { CreateEventTool, EventbriteClient, EventbriteConfig } from '@prmichaelsen/eventbrite-mcp';

// Configure the Eventbrite client
const config: EventbriteConfig = {
  apiToken: process.env.EVENTBRITE_API_TOKEN!, // Required
  apiUrl: 'https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3',
  timeout: 30000,
  retries: 3
};

const client = new EventbriteClient(config);
const createEventTool = new CreateEventTool(client);

// Use the tool
const result = await createEventTool.execute({
  name: "My Event",
  startTime: "2024-12-31T09:00:00",
  endTime: "2024-12-31T17:00:00",
