MCP Server Overview

The Everwall MCP server is a bridge between your Everwall account and the AI tools you already use. Once it’s connected, you can ask an AI assistant to do the things you’d normally click through the Everwall dashboard for—moderate your wall, post an announcement, launch a poll, pull your stats—just by describing what you want in plain language.

This tutorial explains what the MCP server is, what you can do with it, and the handful of concepts you’ll want to understand before you connect it to your AI tool of choice.

What is MCP?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets AI applications connect to outside tools and data in a safe, structured way. You can think of it like a universal adapter: instead of every AI app needing a custom Everwall plugin, Everwall exposes one MCP server that any MCP-compatible tool can talk to.

When you connect the Everwall MCP server to an AI tool, the AI gains a set of tools—small, well-defined actions like “list the posts in the moderation queue” or “create an announcement.” The AI decides which tools to call based on what you ask it, runs them against your Everwall account, and reports back.

You stay in control the whole time: the AI only sees the accounts and walls you already have access to, it can only do what you’ve given it permission to do, and (in most tools) it asks before making changes.

What you can do with it

Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant to help with almost everything you manage on a wall:

• Moderate posts — review the moderation queue, approve, deny, or stash posts, and work through a backlog in bulk.
• Search and organize — find posts by keyword, author, source, tag, date, or media type; add and remove tags; pin the ones you want to feature.
• Edit captions — clean up a post’s caption or add alt text to an image or video thumbnail for accessibility.
• Run announcements — create ticker, lower-third, full-screen, or inline announcements; schedule them; show or hide them live.
• Manage polls — build a poll, open or close voting, show results on the wall, and read live vote counts.
• Manage the agenda — add, update, and reorder event agenda items and toggle the agenda on the wall.
• Check performance — pull wall stats over any date range and view any of the leaderboards.
• Post via Everwall Connect — enable third-party posting and submit posts (text and photos) straight into a wall’s moderation flow.
• Refresh the screens — refresh/reload any screen displaying one of your walls.
• Answer account questions — “what plan am I on?”, “how much would a 3-day event with moderation and SMS cost?” — using your account’s real pricing.

The MCP server never changes your billing or plan. Pricing tools are read-only and will point you to account.everwall.com for any actual purchase.

Who it’s for

• Event organizers and marketers who want to run a wall conversationally — “approve everything from our official accounts and stash anything with a
  link” — without hunting through menus.
• Moderation teams who want an AI helper to triage a busy queue during a live event.
• Developers and power users who want to script or automate Everwall from Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or their own MCP-compatible tooling.

Everwall API access is available on every account, there’s no special plan you need to buy to use the MCP server.

Key concepts

You’ll see these terms throughout the rest of the MCP server related tutorials. A quick tour:

Accounts

An account is your Everwall organization. If you belong to more than one (for example, an agency managing several clients), the AI can list them and you tell it which one to work in. Every action happens in the context of a specific account. Accounts are identified by an Account ID.

Walls

A wall is a single event social wall, social wall for website, or ongoing social wall. An account can have many walls. Each wall has a permaslug (a short URL-safe name) that tools use to identify it, along with settings for its sources, moderation mode, design, and features.

The four queues

Every post on a wall lives in exactly one of four queues:

Queue	What it means
Moderated	Waiting for review (only used when Full Moderation is on).
Displayed	Approved and showing on the wall.
Stashed	Set aside — not shown, but kept for later. It is shared among all moderators, so useful when coordinating with a team.
Blocked	Rejected and hidden.

Moderating a wall is mostly about moving posts between these queues:
approve (→ Displayed), deny (→ Blocked), or stash (→ Stashed).

Posts

A post is a single piece of content on the wall — text, photos, or video, plus its author, source platform, timestamps, tags, and pin status. Every post has a post ID (pid) that tools use to act on it.

Features

Walls can also run announcements, polls, an event agenda, and content sources (like the Everwall Direct web form). Each of these has its own set of tools, and each is gated behind its own permission so you can grant exactly what you intend.

Everwall Connect

Everwall Connect lets any third-party system (like photo booths, custom apps, or an AI agent) submit posts directly to a wall using a private code, bypassing the usual social-media sources. It’s useful for pushing your own content or integrating another app.
