# DateTime MCP Server A simple MCP server that provides accurate date and time information to Claude Code and Claude Desktop. This server ensures Claude always uses the correct current date and time when creating documents, logs, or any time-sensitive content. ## Features ### Tools - `get_current_datetime` - Get the current date and time - Supports multiple formats: ISO 8601, Unix timestamp, human-readable, or custom format - Optional timezone parameter - `get_current_date` - Get only the current date - Formats: ISO (YYYY-MM-DD), US (MM/DD/YYYY), EU (DD/MM/YYYY), or custom - `get_current_time` - Get only the current time - Formats: 24-hour (HH:MM:SS), 12-hour (hh:MM:SS AM/PM), or custom - Optional seconds display ### Custom Format Support Use format strings with these placeholders: - `YYYY` - 4-digit year - `MM` - 2-digit month - `DD` - 2-digit day - `HH` - 2-digit hour (24-hour) - `mm` - 2-digit minutes - `ss` - 2-digit seconds Example: `"YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm"` → `"2025-07-31 14:30"` ## Development Install dependencies: ```bash npm install ``` Build the server: ```bash npm run build ``` For development with auto-rebuild: ```bash npm run watch ``` ## Installation ### For Claude Desktop The server config was automatically added during setup. To verify: On MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` ```json { "mcpServers": { "DateTime MCP Server": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/path/to/your/datetime-mcp/build/index.js" ] } } } ``` ### For Claude Code CLI Add the server to Claude Code: ```bash # Add the server claude mcp add datetime-server node /path/to/your/datetime-mcp/build/index.js # Verify it's loaded claude mcp list # View server details claude mcp get datetime-server ``` To remove the server: ```bash claude mcp remove datetime-server ``` ### Debugging Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector), which is available as a package script: ```bash npm run inspector ``` The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
