From the project README

🔌 Java Conferences MCP Server 🔌

A Model Call Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with access to data about Java conferences from around the world. This server exposes conference information from a public GitHub repository including names, dates, locations, and Call for Papers (CFP) details through a standardized MCP interface.

Data Source

The server fetches data by parsing the README.md file from the 🔗 javaconferences/javaconferences.github.io repository. The specific URL is configured in application.properties and defaults to: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/javaconferences/javaconferences.github.io/main/README.md

Provided Tool

  • Name: getJavaConferences
  • Description: Get information about Java conferences for a specific year (if specified and found in the source) or the current year by default. Parses data for all years found under H3 headings in the source markdown file.
  • Input Parameter:
    • year (String, Optional): The 4-digit year to retrieve conferences for. If omitted or invalid, defaults to the current year.
  • Output: A list of JSON objects, each representing a conference with the following fields:
    • conferenceName (String)
    • date (String)
    • location (String)
    • isHybrid (Boolean)
    • cfpLink (String) - URL for the Call for Papers, if available
    • cfpDate (String) - Closing date for CFP, if available
    • link (String) - Main conference link
    • country (String)

Configuration

Connecting an MCP Client (e.g., Claude Desktop)

To connect an MCP client like Claude Desktop to this server:

  1. Configure your MCP client to connect to the server. For Claude Desktop, you might update your claude_desktop_config.json file like this:

    {
"mcpServers": { 
  "javaConf-mcp-server": {
    "command": "java",
    // "command": "PATH_TO_USER/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java", /* in my case i'm using the java version installed by sdkman */
    "args": [
        "-jar", 
        "PATH_TO_PROJECT/javaConf-mcp-server/target/javaconf-mcp-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"
    ]
  }
}
}

  2. Start the MCP client and ensure that it is connected to the server.

  3. Use the tool by asking questions like:

    • "What are the upcoming Java conferences?"
    • "What are hybrid conferences?"
    • "Give the CPF link of Jfokus conference to submit a talk"

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.
