Over the last week it answered 98.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

If a tool disappears, we record the date.
conferences
list_conferences
Browse conference lists and rankings (open CFPs, ranked venues with a call open now, popularity, most competitive, etc.), paginated. No keyword filtering — use search_conferences for that.
search_conferences
Search academic conferences. Every parameter is optional — combine any of keyword, CCF/CORE/QUALIS rank, research field and submission/conference date ranges. Filter-only queries work fine (e.g. field=ai plus a submission-deadline window, no keyword). Returns a paginated list.
journals
list_journals
Browse journal lists and rankings (special-issue CFPs, CCF, highest impact factor, popularity, all), paginated. No keyword filtering — use search_journals for that.
search_journals
Search academic journals. Every parameter is optional — combine any of keyword, CCF rank, research field and ISSN. Returns a paginated list.
conference
get_conference
Get full details of a conference by id: basics, CFP text, acceptance-rate history, edition history, structured ratings and comments, related conferences/journals. REQUIRES CREDENTIALS: Authorization: Bearer <credential> (free API key from https://www.myhuiban.com/account/api-keys, or a JWT from POST /api/login). responses link to the Conference Partner detail_page, not the venue's external website.
journal
get_journal
Get full details of a journal by id: basics, CFP text, special issues, structured ratings and comments, related journals/conferences. REQUIRES CREDENTIALS: Authorization: Bearer <credential> (free API key from https://www.myhuiban.com/account/api-keys, or a JWT from POST /api/login). responses link to the Conference Partner detail_page, not the venue's external website.
researcher
get_researcher
Get a researcher's public profile by id: name, institution, auto-generated research-interest summary, CV, tracked/attended conferences and tracked journals. REQUIRES CREDENTIALS: Authorization: Bearer <credential> (free API key from https://www.myhuiban.com/account/api-keys, or a JWT from POST /api/login). Never includes contact details; by id only — there is no researcher search or enumeration.
statistics
get_statistics
Site-level public statistics: conference/journal totals, how many conferences have an open call for papers, upcoming deadlines by month, open CFPs by CCF / ICORE / QUALIS tier, conference country and research-field distributions, journal impact-factor, CCF-tier, publisher and research-field distributions. Research-field keys are the same slugs the search tools accept in their field parameter.

Conference Partner — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Conference Partner do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_conference, get_journal, get_researcher, get_statistics, list_conferences, list_journals and 2 more. 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 Conference Partner mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around conferences and journals. 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 Conference Partner working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 84 of 91 checks got a reply (92.3%), average response time 629 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Conference Partner 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 Conference Partner?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Conference Partner need an API key?
No. Conference Partner completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Conference Partner?
It answers our handshake in 629 ms on average, which is faster than 21% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Conference Partner open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
