Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:170-214 (handler)

  The handler implementation for the 'get_current_date' tool. It extracts parameters, validates the timezone, formats the current date with day of week information, optionally adds time details, and returns a JSON-formatted response.

  case 'get_current_date': {
    const { timezone, includeTime = false } = args as { timezone: string; includeTime?: boolean };
    TimeService.validateTimezone(timezone);
    
    const now = new Date();
    const dateInfo = {
      timezone,
      date: now.toLocaleDateString('en-US', { 
        timeZone: timezone,
        year: 'numeric',
        month: '2-digit',
        day: '2-digit'
      }),
      dayOfWeek: now.toLocaleDateString('en-US', { 
        timeZone: timezone,
        weekday: 'long'
      }),
      fullDate: now.toLocaleDateString('en-US', { 
        timeZone: timezone,
        weekday: 'long',
        year: 'numeric',
        month: 'long',
        day: 'numeric'
      }),
    };
  
    if (includeTime) {
      const timeInfo = TimeService.getCurrentTime(timezone, 'full');
      Object.assign(dateInfo, {
        time: timeInfo.datetime,
        fullDateTime: timeInfo.localizedFormat,
        isDST: timeInfo.isDST,
        utcOffset: timeInfo.utcOffset,
      });
    }
  
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: JSON.stringify(dateInfo, null, 2),
        },
      ],
    };
  }

• src/index.ts:80-98 (registration)

  The tool registration object for 'get_current_date' in the tools array used by ListToolsRequestHandler, including description and input schema.

  {
    name: 'get_current_date',
    description: 'Get the current date in a specific timezone with day of week information',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        timezone: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'IANA timezone identifier (e.g., "America/New_York", "Europe/London")',
        },
        includeTime: {
          type: 'boolean',
          description: 'Whether to include time information',
          default: false,
        },
      },
      required: ['timezone'],
    },
  },

• src/index.ts:83-97 (schema)

  Input schema definition for the 'get_current_date' tool, defining parameters for timezone and optional includeTime.

  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      timezone: {
        type: 'string',
        description: 'IANA timezone identifier (e.g., "America/New_York", "Europe/London")',
      },
      includeTime: {
        type: 'boolean',
        description: 'Whether to include time information',
        default: false,
      },
    },
    required: ['timezone'],
