getJavaConferencesLABSCO SUMMARY
Conference planning without opening the list repo.
The Java conference calendar that circulates as a GitHub README becomes something you can ask questions of — which events are coming, which run hybrid, and which CFPs are still open.
What it is
A Java MCP server that parses the community-maintained javaconferences.github.io README and serves it as structured conference records — name, date, location, country, hybrid flag, conference link, and the Call for Papers link and closing date.
What you get
- Java conferences for the current year, or for any year the source lists
- The date, location and country of each conference
- Whether an event runs hybrid or in person only
- The Call for Papers link and its closing date, where the source has one
Requirements
A JDK — the client config launches the packaged jar with java -jar. No account and no API key: the data is read from a public GitHub raw URL configured in application.properties.
Setup effort
Build from source — git clone https://github.com/miliariadnane/javaConf-mcp-server.git
USE CASES
01
Deciding which conferences to submit to
Read this year's list with the CFP closing dates, so submissions are chosen by deadline rather than by memory.
02
Planning travel for next year
Ask for a specific year and get each event's date, location and country in one pass.
03
Finding events you can attend from your desk
The hybrid flag separates events you can join remotely from ones that need a flight.
