# Sessionize MCP Server
A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that exposes Sessionize session data as a tool. It allows AI agents and LLM clients to search for speakers and talks by date.
## Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| `search_sessionize` | Search for sessions by month in `Month Year` format (e.g. `April 2025`) |
## Configuration
The server is configured via environment variables:
| Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| `SESSIONIZE_URL` | Sessionize API endpoint URL | Yes |
| `SESSIONIZE_DATE_FILTER_CATEGORY_ID` | Category ID used to filter sessions by date | Yes |
## Running Locally

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
SESSIONIZE_URL="https://sessionize.com/api/v2/<your-id>/view/Sessions" \
SESSIONIZE_DATE_FILTER_CATEGORY_ID=61493 \

```
### With Podman / Docker
