check_status
Check if the API is alive and responding.
LABSCO SUMMARY
One speaker's published work, queryable instead of scrollable.
What it takes off you is the trawling: ask for the talks from a given year or the posts on a given portal, and what comes back are records with counts, event names, links and slides — enough to cite without going to find the page.
What it is
An MCP front end to Erick Wendel's contributions API: the talks he has given, the posts he has written and the videos he has published, as three collections you can filter and page.
What you get
- Talks filtered by year, city, title or id, with skip and limit for paging
- Posts filtered by title, portal, language or id
- Videos filtered by title, language or id
- A status call that reports whether the API behind all three is answering
Requirements
npx on your PATH, and network access — the records come from the hosted API, not from the package you install.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y @erickwendel/contributions-mcp
USE CASES
01
Finding a talk you half-remember
Filter by a word in the title, the city it was given in, or the year, and the record comes back with the event, its site and the slides — enough to cite it without searching for it.
02
Assembling a speaker profile
Pull the three collections together and you have the published record in one place: what was spoken, what was written and what was filmed, each with its own count.
03
Collecting everything in one language
Posts and videos both filter on language, so a reading or watching list for a Portuguese, Spanish or English audience can be built without going through the rest.
04
Seeing what a given year looked like
Ask for one year of talks and the answer is the circuit that year — which events, which cities — rather than a career-length list you have to date by eye.
