takanarishimbo-datetime-mcp-server
Provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implemented in Python that exposes tools for retrieving the current date and time in various formats/timezones.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
No auth/TLS requirements are stated in the provided manifest. Uses common libraries (mcp, pytz) which may be generally safe, but without code/dependency lockfile/CVE checks the dependency hygiene score is best-effort. As a datetime utility, the impact of data exposure is low, but ensure the server is run securely if exposed on a network.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You need simple, local current-date/time context available to an agent via MCP tools.
Avoid When
You require authenticated, externally hosted, rate-limited, or contract-first APIs with strong operational guarantees.
Use Cases
- • Timezone-aware prompting (LLMs/agents) that require the current local time
- • Scheduling or timestamp generation in agent workflows
- • Debugging/verification of time formatting and timezone conversions
- • Lightweight context injection for systems using MCP tools
Not For
- • Generating authoritative time for security-critical workflows (e.g., signing, legal timestamps) without external time verification
- • High-throughput services requiring documented rate limiting or robust API error contracts
- • Use in environments that require strict enterprise security controls or strong auth enforcement (none indicated)
Interface
Authentication
No authentication requirements are described in the provided manifest/metadata; MCP server behavior and any auth mechanism cannot be confirmed from available data.
Pricing
Self-hosted open-source package per manifest; no hosted pricing details provided.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Results will depend on the server’s system clock and timezone configuration
- ⚠ Time formatting differences (timezone/locale) may require careful tool parameter selection
- ⚠ If the MCP server is started without proper configuration, timezone behavior may not match expectations
