Installation

cd /home/danfmaia/_repos/_mcp/util-mcp uv install

Usage

MCP Server (via Cursor)

The server is configured in /home/danfmaia/.cursor/mcp.json:

{ "utilities": { "name": "Utility MCP Server", "type": "command", "command": "/home/danfmaia/.local/bin/uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/home/danfmaia/_repos/_mcp/util-mcp", "run", "util_server.py" ] } }

Standalone Testing

uv run util_server.py

Testing DateTime Tools

uv run python test_datetime.py

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.

Dependencies

  • mcp: Model Context Protocol framework

  • httpx: HTTP client for potential API calls

  • pytz: Timezone database for datetime operations

  • fastmcp: Simplified MCP server development

Development

Built using FastMCP framework for simplified MCP server development and maintenance.
