Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

conference

get_conference

Use this when someone asks about one specific conference or trade show: when and where it is, who organizes it, what its sponsorship packages cost as the organizer publishes them, how many sponsors and exhibitors are listed, and which well-known companies are there. Takes the event name or its conferencedatabase.com slug.

get_conference_sponsors

Use this when someone asks which companies sponsor or exhibit at a specific conference. Returns company names, websites, role (sponsor, partner, media partner or exhibitor) and sponsorship level for one edition, ordered by how many conferences each company is listed at. Returns up to 50 companies per call with the total count; use offset to read further.

company

get_company_conferences

Use this when someone asks which conferences or trade shows a company sponsors or exhibits at, or where it will be next. Takes a company name or website domain, such as salesforce.com. Returns the events with year, dates, location and the company's role at each, newest first, up to 50 with the total count, plus the company's page on conferencedatabase.com.

conferences

search_conferences

Use this to find conferences and trade shows by topic, place, year or month, for example fintech conferences in 2027 or events in Las Vegas in March. Returns matching events, largest company lists first, with dates, city and country, the event's own website, how many sponsors and exhibitors are listed, and the conferencedatabase.com page for each. With no year or month it returns upcoming events only.

ConferenceDB — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can ConferenceDB do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_sponsors_for_event, get_company_conferences, get_conference, get_conference_sponsors, search_conferences. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is ConferenceDB working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 5 of 91 checks got a reply (5.5%), average response time 337 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists ConferenceDB as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect ConferenceDB?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does ConferenceDB need an API key?

No. ConferenceDB completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is ConferenceDB?

It answers our handshake in 337 ms on average, which is faster than 41% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
