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

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"
