Conference Partner MCP server

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:

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.

curl "https://www.myhuiban.com/api/conferences?ccf_rank=A&field=ai&submission_date_start=2026-08-05"
