get_time
Get the current date and time
LABSCO SUMMARY
A model does not know what time it is, and this is the smallest possible fix for that.
It sounds trivial and is not: a model asked to schedule something, compute an age, or reason about whether a deadline has passed will confidently use a date from its training data. One tool call removes an entire class of quiet error. There is nothing else here — no timezone conversion, no arithmetic, no scheduling — and for a tool this small that is the correct scope rather than a shortcoming.
What it is
A single-tool clock: it returns the current date and time.
What you get
- get_time returns the current date and time, with the README describing support for various formats.
Requirements
Nothing to supply.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y @katomato65/time-mcp
USE CASES
01
Knowing what today actually is
Ask for the current date and time rather than letting the model supply one from training data.
