Date and Time MCP server

This is a small helper that gives your AI assistant the current date and time. It can hand back the date in lots of different styles, like 2024-12-10, 2024/12/10, or a Japanese style like 2024年12月10日. It is handy if you often need today's date for file names, logs, or notes and do not want to type it yourself.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like what is today's date or give me the time in Japanese format. Your AI passes that request to this helper program running on your computer. The helper reads your computer's clock, picks the format you asked for, and sends the result back. Your AI then shows you the formatted date or time right in the chat. It is a simple one-step lookup, nothing more.

What it gives back to you

You get back a short piece of text with the date, the time, or both, in the format you asked for. For example, you might see 2024/12/12 or 2024年12月10日 00時54分01秒 in the chat. It does not change anything on your computer, it just tells you the answer.
