Details

From the project README

ArtistAlly — Convention Data MCP Server

Free fan-convention data for agents: search furry, anime & gaming conventions across 51 US & Canadian metros — dates, registration windows, table costs, and attendance history.

ArtistAlly is a hosted, remote Model Context Protocol server that gives any MCP-capable agent a single, no-key call for questions like "which conventions can I still get an artist-alley table at?" or "what anime cons are in the Southeast this fall?" It serves the approved ArtistAlly catalog — dates, venues, artist-alley and vendor registration windows, table costs, badge prices, hotel blocks, transit access, and multi-year attendance history — refreshed daily, with organizer-verified fields flagged.

  • Endpoint: https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/api/mcp (streamable-HTTP)
  • Auth: none — every tool is free and read-only
  • Docs & connect guide: https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/mcp
  • In the official MCP registry as: sh.alchemylab.artistally/conventions

This repository is documentation only — ArtistAlly is a hosted service that's always on. There's nothing to install, build, or run locally.

Quick start

Point any MCP client at the remote endpoint via the mcp-remote shim:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "artistally": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Drop that into your client config (claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor, Cline, etc.) and the ArtistAlly tools appear. Clients that speak streamable-HTTP directly (Claude Code, claude.ai connectors) can use the endpoint URL as-is — see https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/mcp for per-client instructions.

Tools

All tools are free and need no auth. See https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/mcp for the always-current list and full schemas.

ToolWhat it does
artistally_search_conventionsSearch conventions by text, community (furry/anime/gaming), region, state, metro, or date range
artistally_get_conventionFull profile of one convention: registration windows, costs, hotel block, transit, and up to 6 years of attendance/pricing history
artistally_list_open_registrationsArtist-alley and vendor registration windows open now or opening soon, sorted by closing date
artistally_get_coverageThe regions, states/provinces, and metros tracked, with convention counts (and the valid filter values for the other tools)

Every response includes a canonical url for each convention and a source attribution block — please link the convention's page when you present the data.

No MCP client needed — the same catalog is public on the web:

For registry tooling

The Dockerfile here is not the server — it's a thin mcp-remote bridge so directories that build and introspect a container (e.g. Glama's checks) can start the server and list its tools against the live endpoint. There's still nothing to run locally; just point your client at the URL above.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
