Sommaire
ArtistAlly — Convention Data MCP Server
Free fan-convention data for agents: search furry, anime & gaming conventions across 51 US & Canadian metros — dates, registration windows, table costs, and attendance history.
ArtistAlly is a hosted, remote Model Context Protocol server that gives any MCP-capable agent a single, no-key call for questions like "which conventions can I still get an artist-alley table at?" or "what anime cons are in the Southeast this fall?" It serves the approved ArtistAlly catalog — dates, venues, artist-alley and vendor registration windows, table costs, badge prices, hotel blocks, transit access, and multi-year attendance history — refreshed daily, with organizer-verified fields flagged.
- Endpoint:
https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/api/mcp(streamable-HTTP) - Auth: none — every tool is free and read-only
- Docs & connect guide: https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/mcp
- In the official MCP registry as:
sh.alchemylab.artistally/conventions
This repository is documentation only — ArtistAlly is a hosted service that's always on. There's nothing to install, build, or run locally.
Quick start
Point any MCP client at the remote endpoint via the
mcp-remote shim:
{
"mcpServers": {
"artistally": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/api/mcp"]
}
}
}
Drop that into your client config (claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor, Cline,
etc.) and the ArtistAlly tools appear. Clients that speak streamable-HTTP directly
(Claude Code, claude.ai connectors) can use the endpoint URL as-is — see
https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/mcp for per-client instructions.
Tools
All tools are free and need no auth. See **https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/mcp** for the always-current list and full schemas.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
artistally_search_conventions | Search conventions by text, community (furry/anime/gaming), region, state, metro, or date range |
artistally_get_convention | Full profile of one convention: registration windows, costs, hotel block, transit, and up to 6 years of attendance/pricing history |
artistally_list_open_registrations | Artist-alley and vendor registration windows open now or opening soon, sorted by closing date |
artistally_get_coverage | The regions, states/provinces, and metros tracked, with convention counts (and the valid filter values for the other tools) |
Every response includes a canonical url for each convention and a source
attribution block — please link the convention's page when you present the data.
Browse it yourself
No MCP client needed — the same catalog is public on the web:
- Events directory: https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/events (filter by region, state, metro, community)
- Registration board: https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/registrations (open now / opening soon)
- Machine-readable index: https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/llms.txt
- Sitemap: https://artistally.alchemylab.sh/sitemap.xml

For registry tooling
The Dockerfile here is not the server — it's a thin
mcp-remote bridge so directories
that build and introspect a container (e.g. Glama's checks) can start the
server and list its tools against the live endpoint. There's still nothing to
run locally; just point your client at the URL above.
