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.
Dependencies

Development
Built using FastMCP framework for simplified MCP server development and maintenance.
remote-capable server
The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.
Provides general-purpose utility tools for Computer Agent ecosystem integration, including meeting data downloads from Read.AI platform and server status monitoring. Currently supports basic utility operations with planned expansion for more productivity tools.
