Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:1328-1347 (handler)

  Executes the get_time_utc tool by getting the current UTC time and formatting it as YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss using Date methods and a padding helper.

  else if (toolName === "get_time_utc") {
    // Get current time in UTC
    const now = new Date();
    
    // Format time as YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss
    const pad = (num: number) => num.toString().padStart(2, '0');
    
    const year = now.getUTCFullYear();
    const month = pad(now.getUTCMonth() + 1); // months are 0-indexed
    const day = pad(now.getUTCDate());
    const hours = pad(now.getUTCHours());
    const minutes = pad(now.getUTCMinutes());
    const seconds = pad(now.getUTCSeconds());
    
    const formattedTime = `${year}-${month}-${day} ${hours}:${minutes}:${seconds}`;
    
    return formatResponse({
      utc_time: formattedTime
    });
  }

• src/index.ts:638-646 (schema)

  Defines the tool metadata including name, description, and empty input schema (no parameters required) for registration in the tools list.

  {
    name: "get_time_utc",
    description: "Get the current UTC time in YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss format",

• src/index.ts:89-649 (registration)

  Registers the get_time_utc tool by including it in the tools array returned by ListToolsRequestSchema handler.
