}You can query Java conference data through a dedicated MCP server that exposes conference details such as names, dates, locations, and CFP information. This server pulls data from a public MD repository and serves it via a standardized MCP interface, making it easy for AI assistants to provide up-to-date conference information on request.
Connect your MCP client to the server using the provided endpoints or local runtime. You can ask the server for upcoming Java conferences by year, filter for hybrid events, and retrieve CFP links for talks. The server’s tool returns a list of conferences with fields like conferenceName, date, location, isHybrid, cfpLink, cfpDate, link, and country. Use natural language prompts such as: “What are the upcoming Java conferences?”, “List hybrid conferences for 2025,” or “Give me the CFP link for JFokus.” The tool will return results for the specified year if available or for the current year by default.
Prerequisites: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or JDK installed and a working MCP client setup. You will run the local MCP server or connect to the remote MCP endpoint from your client.
A ready-to-use local runtime configuration is provided below. This starts the MCP server locally using Java and loads the packaged MCP server artifact.

``goldData source and tools: The server provides a tool named getJavaConferences that fetches conference data from the source and outputs a list of conference objects with fields including conferenceName, date, location, isHybrid, cfpLink, cfpDate, link, and country.
Configuration overview: The server’s data source URL points to the public MD file at the configured location, defaulting to a GitHub raw URL. The provided example shows a local stdio-based runtime configuration for quick start.
Example HTTP and stdio configurations: You can connect either to a remote HTTP endpoint or run a local stdio server, depending on your setup. The HTTP approach references the data source URL, while the stdio approach runs the Java artifact directly.
Starting and using the server in practice: Start the client, connect to the server, and begin asking for conference information. Remember to provide the year if you want data for a specific period, otherwise the current year is used by default.
Retrieves Java conference data for a specific year (or the current year by default) by parsing the source markdown and returns a list of conference objects with fields conferenceName, date, location, isHybrid, cfpLink, cfpDate, link, and country.
