Configuration

Set these environment variables (for stdio) or headers (for HTTP):

• DEFAULT_TZ - Timezone identifier (e.g., "America/New_York", "Europe/London", "UTC")

• TIMEFMT - Time format: "12" for 12-hour (2:30 PM) or "24" for 24-hour (14:30)

Fallbacks

• Invalid timezone → defaults to UTC

• TIMEFMT not "12" → defaults to 24-hour format
