[![Ask DeepWiki](https://deepwiki.com/badge.svg)](https://deepwiki.com/kongyo2/EVE-EST-MCP)

An MCP server for EVE Online that provides EVE Server Time (EST) information and downtime calculations.

EVE Server Time (EST) is identical to UTC and is the standard time used across all EVE Online servers. This server provides current EST time and calculates time remaining until the next daily server downtime.

## Features

- **Current EVE Server Time**: Get the current time in EVE Server Time format (identical to UTC)
- **Downtime Information**: Daily server maintenance occurs from 11:00 to 11:15 EST (UTC)
- **Time Until Downtime**: Calculates hours and minutes until the next server downtime
- **Downtime Status**: Indicates if the server is currently in downtime
- **Reliable Time Source**: Uses system time with WorldTimeAPI (worldtimeapi.org) as fallback for maximum reliability

## Tool: getCurrentESTTime

This tool provides comprehensive EVE Online server time information:

```json
{
  "currentTime": "2025-01-08 15:30:45 EST",
  "utcTime": "2025-01-08T15:30:45.123Z",
  "isInDowntime": false,
  "downtimeWindow": "11:00 to 11:15 EST (UTC)",
  "timeUntilNextDowntime": "19h 29m",
  "nextDowntimeStart": "2025-01-09 11:00:00 EST",
  "timeSource": "system"
}
```

The `timeSource` field indicates whether the time was obtained from the system clock (`"system"`) or from the WorldTimeAPI fallback (`"worldtimeapi"`).

## Development

To get started, clone the repository and install the dependencies.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/kongyo2/EVE-EST-MCP.git
cd eve-online-est-mcp-server
npm install
npm run dev
```

### Start the server

If you simply want to start the server, you can use the `start` script.

```bash
npm run start
```

However, you can also interact with the server using the `dev` script.

```bash
npm run dev
```

This will start the server and allow you to interact with it using CLI.

### Testing

The server includes tests for time calculations and EST formatting.

```bash
npm run test
```

The tests verify the EVE Server Time calculations and downtime logic.

### Linting

Having a good linting setup reduces the friction for other developers to contribute to your project.

```bash
npm run lint
```

This project uses [Prettier](https://prettier.io/), [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) and [TypeScript ESLint](https://typescript-eslint.io/) to lint the code.

### Formatting

Use `npm run format` to format the code.

```bash
npm run format
```

A4.1/5.0

Scored across 1 tool

Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The tool's purpose is clearly defined and distinct by default.

Naming Consistency5/5

A single tool inherently has perfect naming consistency, as there are no other tools to compare against. The name 'getCurrentESTTime' follows a clear verb_noun pattern.

Tool Count2/5

One tool is too few for a server with the apparent scope of providing EVE Online EST time and downtime information. This feels thin and limited, lacking related operations like historical downtime checks or timezone conversions.

Completeness2/5

The server is severely incomplete for its domain. It only provides current time and next downtime, missing obvious gaps such as checking past downtimes, scheduling reminders, or handling timezone adjustments beyond EST/UTC.
