• Never ambiguous about timezone - every response states the same instant as UTC,

convert_timezone tool that is DST-correct for the date in question

• Any IANA timezone - timezone: "Asia/Tokyo" on the current time, and a

• Multiple Formats - ISO 8601, named patterns, token patterns (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm Z)
• Structured output - structuredContent with a declared schema, plus plain text for older clients
• Zero Configuration - npx -y and go; Node 18+
• MCP Compatible - Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf

MCP Client Integration

Every client below uses the same server entry. npx -y fetches the package on first use and suppresses the install prompt, so nothing needs to be installed beforehand.

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@strix-ai/currentdt-mcp"]
}
