Setup

uv sync

Configuration

This is an MCP server. You register it in your coding agent's MCP configuration, then the agent can use its tools.

Most agents accept the same local stdio configuration. For example, in Opencode you add it to the opencode.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "wikicfp-mcp": {
      "command": [
        "/home/simon/dev/wikicfp-mcp/.venv/bin/python",
        "/home/simon/dev/wikicfp-mcp/src/main.py"
      ],
      "enabled": true,
      "type": "local"
    }
  }
}

After this setup, the agent discovers the tools automatically and you can simply ask it things like:

"Find upcoming conferences on Green AI with deadlines after September."

Tools

`search_conferences`

Search WikiCFP for academic conferences matching a query.

Argument	Type	Description
`query`	`string` (required)	Search terms (e.g. "ai agent", "machine learning")
`year`	`string` (optional)	Year filter: `t` (this year, default), `n` (next year), `a` (all)
`limit`	`number` (optional)	Maximum number of conferences to return (default: 10)

Returns a list of conferences, each with name, description, dates (when), location (where), submission deadline, and the WikiCFP url:

[
  {
    "name": "Cyber-AI 2026",
    "description": "The 2nd IEEE 2026 International Conference on Cybersecurity and AI-Based Systems (Scopus)",
    "when": "Sep 22, 2026 - Sep 25, 2026",
    "where": "Bucharest, Romania",
    "deadline": "Jul 31, 2026",
    "url": "http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=191252&copyownerid=196290"
  }
]

`conference_details`

Fetch full call-for-papers details for a conference from its WikiCFP page URL (the url field returned by search_conferences).

Argument	Type	Description
`url`	`string` (required)	WikiCFP event page URL from `search_conferences`

Returns name, description, dates, location, official website, all deadlines, and categories:

{"name": "SMARTGREENS 2027",
 "description": "SMARTGREENS  2027 : 16th International Conference on Smart Cities and Green ICT Systems",
 "when": "Apr 16, 2027 - Apr 17, 2027", "where": "Rome, Italy",
 "website": "https://smartgreens.scitevents.org/",
 "submission_deadline": "Nov 17, 2026", "notification_due": "Jan 15, 2027", "final_version_due": "Jan 27, 2027",
 "categories": ["services", "grid computing", "green computing", "smart grid"]}

`list_categories`

List all conference categories tracked by WikiCFP, ordered by the number of CFPs each.

Returns up to ~300 categories with name, browse URL, and CFP count:

[{"name": "artificial intelligence", "url": "http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/call?conference=artificial intelligence", "count": 10667},
 {"name": "machine learning", "url": "http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/call?conference=machine learning", "count": 6454},
 {"name": "green computing", "url": "http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/call?conference=green computing", "count": 149}, ...]

`conferences_by_category`

List conferences in a WikiCFP category, one page at a time. This is the complete view of a category: every CFP in it is reachable by iterating page from 1 to total_pages (~20 per page), unlike keyword search which WikiCFP caps.

Argument	Type	Description
`category`	`string` (required)	Category name as returned by `list_categories`
`page`	`number` (optional)	Page number to return, 1-based (default: 1)

Returns page metadata (total_pages, total_cfps) plus the conferences on that page. Note that later pages include expired CFPs.

{"category": "green computing", "page": 1, "total_pages": 8, "total_cfps": 149,
 "conferences": [
   {"name": "SMARTGREENS 2027",
    "description": "16th International Conference on Smart Cities and Green ICT Systems",
    "when": "Apr 16, 2027 - Apr 17, 2027", "where": "Rome, Italy",
    "deadline": "Nov 17, 2026",
    "url": "http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=201733&copyownerid=45217"},
   {"name": "GREEN 2026",
    "description": "The Eleventh International Conference on Green Communications, Computing and Technologies",
    "when": "Oct 25, 2026 - Oct 29, 2026", "where": "Lisbon, Portugal",
    "deadline": "Jul 6, 2026",
    "url": "http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=199671&copyownerid=83510"}]}

`find_conferences`

Find upcoming conferences matching any of the given keywords.

Argument	Type	Description
`keywords`	`string[]` (required)	List of search terms; a conference matches if any term matches
`year`	`string` (optional)	Year filter: `t` (this year), `n` (next year), `a` (all, default)
`min_deadline`	`string` (optional)	Only keep conferences whose submission deadline is on or after this date (`YYYY-MM-DD` or `Mon D, YYYY`)
`limit`	`number` (optional)	Maximum number of conferences to return (default: 50)

Searches WikiCFP for each keyword, merges and deduplicates the results, and keeps only conferences that have not ended yet. Results are sorted by submission deadline (soonest first). Conferences whose dates or deadlines are unknown (N/A, TBD) are always kept.

[{"name": "MIT AI Conference 2026",
  "description": "MIT AI Conference 2026- AI: The Age of Agency",
  "when": "Oct 17, 2026 - Oct 17, 2026", "where": "Computer History Museum Mountain View, C",
  "deadline": "Oct 17, 2026",
  "url": "http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=201388&copyownerid=199571"}, ...]
