MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants
Server address: https://cre.events/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication).
Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app): Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, and paste the address. Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http cre-events https://cre.events/mcp
ChatGPT: in a workspace with developer mode, add a connector with the same address. Other clients that read an mcpServers file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cre-events": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://cre.events/mcp"
}
}

It also offers a prompt, plan-conference-year, that walks an assistant through building a dated conference plan for your role and budget. Server card: /.well-known/mcp.json.
