Date-time Tools MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for date-time manipulation and timezone conversion.

Overview

This MCP server provides a set of tools for working with date-time strings, including timezone conversion, date mutation (arithmetic), and fetching the current date-time and timezone. It is designed to be used as a backend utility for applications or agents that need robust, standardized date-time operations.

Integration with Cursor and Other MCP Clients

For Cursor: Go to: Settings -> Cursor Settings -> MCP -> Add new global MCP server

Pasting the following configuration into your Cursor ~/.cursor/mcp.json file is the recommended approach. You may also install in a specific project by creating .cursor/mcp.json in your project folder. See Cursor MCP docs for more info.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "date-time-tools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@abhi12299/date-time-tools"]
    }
  }
}

For Claude Desktop: Add this to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json file. See Claude Desktop MCP docs for more info.
