Use Build Club with your AI agent

Ask your agent which tech events in the Netherlands are worth your evening. Build Club is a public MCP server: read-only, no account, the same events and filters as this site.

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or the project's .cursor/mcp.json).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "buildclub": { "url": "https://buildclub.nl/mcp" }
  }
}

VS Code and other MCP clients

Any client that speaks streamable HTTP. In VS Code, add this to .vscode/mcp.json.

{
  "servers": {
    "buildclub": { "type": "http", "url": "https://buildclub.nl/mcp" }
  }
}

Try asking

“Find good AI security events near Haarlem in the next two weeks.”
“Where can I meet robotics founders in Delft this month?”
“Which free hands-on AI meetups in Amsterdam are on weekday evenings next week? Add the best one to my calendar.”

What your agent can do

search_events: A question in words, plus optional dates, place and radius, topics, price cap and language.
upcoming: Everything in the next N days in date order, optionally near a place or for some topics.
get_event: One event in full: description, speakers, hosts, organiser, links and a calendar file.
list_topics_and_cities: The topics, sectors and cities with how many events each has.

Every event comes with its Build Club page and the organiser's page. Paid trainings, events for managers and academic ceremonies are left out unless your agent asks for them, as on the site. Up to 60 requests a minute per address.

For agents that read the web

/llms.txt describes the site for language models. /index.json has every upcoming event with its topics, place and organisers, /events.ics is a calendar feed, and /api/search?q=… answers a question in words.
