Implementation Reference
- server.js:143-181 (handler)The switch case that handles the 'get_current_time' tool call. It formats the current date and time using the detected timezone, provides fallback formatting, and returns a JSON object with local time, timezone, ISO time, Unix timestamp, and UTC offset.
case 'get_current_time': { const now = new Date(); let localTime; try { localTime = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', { timeZone: TIMEZONE, year: 'numeric', month: '2-digit', day: '2-digit', hour: '2-digit', minute: '2-digit', second: '2-digit', hour12: false, weekday: 'long', timeZoneName: 'long' }).format(now); } catch (e) { // Fallback if timezone is invalid localTime = now.toString(); } const isoString = now.toISOString(); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ current_time: localTime, timezone: TIMEZONE, iso_time: isoString, unix_timestamp: Math.floor(now.getTime() / 1000), utc_offset: new Date().getTimezoneOffset() }, null, 2), }, ], }; } - server.js:118-125 (registration)Registration of the 'get_current_time' tool in the ListTools response, specifying the name, description, and empty input schema.
