ConferenceHaven-Community

ConferenceHaven Community provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint that lets AI agents and clients query and interact with the ConferenceHaven session catalog, calendar invites, and related conference data. You can access the MCP endpoint directly via HTTP to perform searches, retrieve session details, and generate calendar invites. This MCP tool supports natural language querying, enabling AI assistants to find sessions by conference, topic, or speaker, and to trigger calendar actions for users.

To use the MCP from AI clients, add ConferenceHaven as an MCP connector or tool in your preferred client (Claude Desktop, LM Studio, ChatGPT, Copilot Studio, etc.) by pointing to the MCP URL: https://mcp.conferencehaven.com/api/mcp. Once connected, you can issue requests like: "Find sessions about AI at Microsoft Ignite" or "Add conference session 957 to my calendar" and receive structured results suitable for natural language responses. The platform emphasizes privacy options (local models) and supports A2A integration for organizers and developers to orchestrate multi-agent tasks around conference data.

Prerequisites:

• Internet access and a modern shell (bash, PowerShell, zsh)
• Basic familiarity with MCP-enabled clients (Claude Desktop, LM Studio, Copilot Studio, etc.)

Option A: Quick start using npx (no local install of MCP tooling required)

1. Ensure Node.js and npm are installed on your system or use a Node-enabled environment.
2. Run the MCP tool via npx:

npx -y conferencehaven-mcp

3. Follow any on-screen prompts to connect to the MCP endpoint at https://mcp.conferencehaven.com/api/mcp

Option B: Integrate via an MCP-compatible client

1. In your MCP client configuration, add the endpoint:

https://mcp.conferencehaven.com/api/mcp

2. If required, provide authentication or OAuth details as per your client’s setup guide.
3. Start issuing natural language queries such as:
   • "Show me AI conference sessions at ESPC25"
   • "Add session 123 to my calendar and email it to me"

Prerequisites recap:

• Internet access
• A compatible MCP client or runtime (CLI, desktop app, or code integration)
• Optional: OAuth client IDs for analytics or enhanced features as described in client docs

Notes and tips:

• The MCP endpoint is hosted at https://mcp.conferencehaven.com/api/mcp and supports standard MCP tool calls used by major AI assistants.
• Some clients may require you to add ConferenceHaven as an MCP connector or tool in their settings before you can query sessions or calendar invites.
• If you encounter connectivity issues, ensure your network allows HTTPS access to the MCP URL and that any required OAuth credentials are configured in your client.
• Privacy-focused users can pair MCP usage with local models (LM Studio, Ollama) while still leveraging the MCP endpoint for session data.
• When testing, try simple queries first (e.g., list all conferences) to verify connectivity before performing more complex actions like calendar invites.
