Healthleader/Cli

The agent-native directory of healthcare conferences. Medicare, Medicaid, payer, and quality events — curated, verified, and queryable by AI agents and humans alike.

Ask Claude "which Medicare conferences are coming up this fall?" and get a real answer from a maintained source — not a web-scraped guess.

npx @healthleader/cli conferences list --upcoming --focus "Medicare"

No API key. No signup. The data is public; the code is MIT.

Install

Zero-install via npx (recommended for agents):

npx -y @healthleader/cli conferences list --agent

Or install globally:

npm install -g @healthleader/cli
healthleader --help

Use it as an MCP tool (Claude, etc.)

claude mcp add healthleader -- npx -y @healthleader/cli mcp

Then just ask in plain English. The server exposes six read-only tools: list_conferences, get_conference, search_conferences, conferences_near, conference_ics, directory_stats.

Commands

Command	What it does
conferences list	Filter by --focus --state --city --from --to --virtual --ceu --upcoming --type
conferences get <slug>	Full public record for one conference
conferences search "<q>"	Relevance search over name, host, description, themes
conferences near <city>	Conferences in/near a city (city or nearest airport)
conferences ics <slug>	iCalendar (.ics) export (--all for all upcoming)
conferences stats --by focus	Aggregate counts (focus/state/type/month)
which "<intent>"	Map a natural-language intent to a command
agent-context	Machine-readable description of every command + flag

Agent mode

Add --agent to any command. It expands to --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes:

npx @healthleader/cli conferences list --upcoming --focus "Behavioral Health" --agent

Every command returns the same envelope:

{ "meta": { "source": "live", "synced_at": "…", "count": 12, "version": "0.1.0", "data_source": "auto" },
  "results": [ { "slug": "…", "name": "…", "start_date": "…", … } ] }

Other output controls: --json, --compact, --csv, --select slug,name,ceu_info.credits, --deliver file:out.json / --deliver webhook:https://…, --data-source auto|live|local.

Exit codes: 0 ok · 2 usage · 3 not found · 4 auth · 5 api · 7 rate-limited · 10 config.

Offline

The package ships a snapshot of the directory. --data-source local reads it with no network; --data-source auto (default) uses live data and falls back to the snapshot if offline.

Privacy

Anonymous usage stats help us fill gaps in the directory: which filters/tools are used, and search terms that return zero results (so we know what to add). Successful search text is not logged. No personal data; a random per-install id only. Opt out with --no-telemetry, DO_NOT_TRACK=1, or HEALTHLEADER_TELEMETRY=0.

Data

Sourced from the HealthLeader.ai conference directory. Only published (status=live) events and public fields are ever served. To suggest a missing conference or a correction, open an issue.
