The Utility MCP Server provides general-purpose utility tools for Computer Agent ecosystem integration:
Get current datetime: Retrieve current date/time in any timezone with multiple format options (ISO, readable, timestamp, custom)
Calculate time differences: Compute duration between two dates or from a past date to present, with detailed breakdown of days, hours, minutes, and seconds
Download Read.AI meeting data: Download meeting transcripts and summaries from Read.AI platform (requires API key, currently limited due to lack of public API documentation)
Check server status: Verify configuration and availability of all utility tools

Usage Examples
DateTime Tools
Get current time in different timezones:
get_current_datetime("UTC", "readable")→ "Tuesday, September 09, 2025 at 11:56:34 PM UTC"get_current_datetime("America/Sao_Paulo", "iso")→ "2025-09-09T20:56:34-03:00"get_current_datetime("US/Eastern", "custom")→ "2025-09-09 19:56:34 EDT"
Calculate time differences:
calculate_time_difference("2025-09-09 10:00:00", "2025-09-09 14:30:00", "UTC")→ "4 hours, 30 minutes"calculate_time_difference("2025-09-08 15:00:00", "", "UTC")→ Time from yesterday 3pm to now
Technical Constraints
Read.AI API Limitation
Current Status: No publicly available Read.AI API documentation or third-party access endpoints identified.
Search Evidence:
Cursor native @Web search: No API documentation found
Custom MCP web research: No API endpoints discovered
Technical assessment: Browser automation would require significant maintenance overhead
Recommendation: Manual download workflow until Read.AI provides official API access.
