## Description

Create a new scheduled Arlo Event by submitting an event import request. Provide the parent template `Code` (not its numeric ID) and one or more sessions. The Arlo API processes this asynchronously and returns an `AsyncTaskID`; the created event starts in `Draft` status. Run **List Event Templates** to find the template `Code`. Example: call with `templateCode: "SP1"`, `sessions: '[{"Name":"Day 1","StartDateTime":"2026-09-15T09:00:00+12:00","EndDateTime":"2026-09-15T17:00:00+12:00"}]'` to schedule one session under that template. [See the documentation](https://developer.arlo.co/doc/api/2012-02-01/auth/resources/eventimportrequests#submitting).

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `templateCode` | `string` | Yes | The Code (short string identifier) of the EventTemplate this event belongs to. Run List Event Templates to find the template Code. |
| `sessions` | `string` | Yes | JSON array of session objects. Each session requires Name, StartDateTime, and EndDateTime in ISO 8601 with UTC offset. Optional per session: TimeZoneId, PresenterIds (array of integer contact IDs), VenueDetails ({"VenueId": 123} — run List Venues to find valid venue IDs). Example: [{"Name":"Day 1","StartDateTime":"2026-09-15T09:00:00+12:00","EndDateTime":"2026-09-15T17:00:00+12:00","VenueDetails":{"VenueId":123}}]. |
| `name` | `string` | No | Optional display name for the event. |
| `locationName` | `string` | No | Optional location name for the event. |
| `registrationMethod` | `string` | No | Optional. The registration method to apply in the event's RegistrationSettings (e.g. OrderProcess). |

await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
