How to install Conference Partner in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)

Open your MCP config
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this server

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "conference-partner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://www.myhuiban.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Why the wrapper?
This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.
Restart Claude Desktop
The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.

How to install Conference Partner in CursorAI-first code editor

Create / edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project

How to install Conference Partner in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml

toml

[mcp_servers.conference-partner]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://www.myhuiban.com/mcp"]

Why the wrapper?
Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.
Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.

What tools does Conference Partner expose? (8)

Read from the live server. Click any tool for its input schema.

search_conferencesSearch 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.
search_journalsSearch academic journals. Every parameter is optional — combine any of keyword, CCF rank, research field and ISSN. Returns a paginated list.
list_conferencesBrowse 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.
list_journalsBrowse journal lists and rankings (special-issue CFPs, CCF, highest impact factor, popularity, all), paginated. No keyword filtering — use search_journals for that.
get_conferenceGet 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
get_journalGet 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.
get_researcherGet 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.
get_statisticsSite-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.

What the code can do

This is a remote server — nothing is installed or run on your machine, so there is no local code to analyze. What it can reach is described above: your requests go to the provider's host.

Documentation

Full README

Conference Partner — MCP server & REST API

Academic conference and journal data for AI agents and scripts: CFP deadlines, CCF / CORE / QUALIS rankings, the Conference Partner Index (CP-I) — a 0–100 score we compute for every conference, including the majority that carry no external rank — acceptance-rate history, edition history, journal impact factors and special issues — served by Conference Partner (会伴), a conference tracker that has been maintained since 2013.

Two surfaces over one dataset:

| | Endpoint | For | |---|---|---| | MCP | https://www.myhuiban.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP) | Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, any MCP client | | REST | https://www.myhuiban.com/api/* | scripts, backends, OpenAPI codegen |

Both are backed by the same services and return identical payloads — the only difference is the protocol envelope.

Search, ranking lists and site statistics need no credentials at all. Point a client at the URL and the first call works.
