Today is the operative word: we check Convoca every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

buscar
buscar_convocatorias
Busca convocatorias de premios y concursos literarios con el plazo abierto: por texto, género, lengua, plazo, edad de quien escribe, cuota, dotación y ámbito. Devuelve primero las que cierran antes, con su página en Convoca y sus bases. Un null no consta en la fuente. Cada convocatoria dice en por_comprobar qué filtro pasa solo porque el dato no consta (compruébalo en las bases), y fuera_por_no_constar cuenta las que un filtro dejó fuera por no tener el dato. Para verlas todas, sigue con el cursor «siguiente»; con breve, cada una en pocos campos, y ver_convocatoria la amplía.
buscar_premios
Encuentra premios literarios por nombre, quien convoca, género o lengua, tengan o no la convocatoria abierta. Devuelve su identificador (slug) para ver_premio.
ver
ver_convocatoria
Una convocatoria abierta entera, por su id (de buscar_convocatorias): plazo, dotación, quién puede presentarse, cuota, extensión, condiciones y sus bases. De una que ya cerró, su premio con ver_premio.
ver_premio
Todo lo que sabemos de un premio literario: la convocatoria abierta o la última, cuándo vuelve, las ediciones vistas, el palmarés y los libros premiados, con un resumen en una frase. Acepta el identificador del premio (slug, de buscar_premios o de la dirección de su página) o su nombre.
libros
libros_premiados
Libros publicados que han ganado un premio literario, del más reciente al más antiguo, con editorial, ISBN, fecha y su ficha en Convoca. Filtra por texto (título, autoría o premio), lengua del libro y año.

Convoca — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Convoca do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: buscar_convocatorias, buscar_premios, libros_premiados, palmares, ver_convocatoria, ver_premio. 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 →
What is Convoca mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around buscar and ver. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Convoca working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 167 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Convoca?
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 Convoca need an API key?
No. Convoca completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Convoca?
It answers our handshake in 167 ms on average, which is faster than 78% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
