Q&A
What calendar formats are supported by get_current_time and how are they specified?
The tool accepts a comma‑separated list via the 'calendar' parameter, supporting Unix timestamp, ISO‑8601 week date, Hijri, Japanese Era, Hebrew, and Persian calendars, returning the date in each requested format.
Asked by Jarrah Whitlock · Oct 24, 2025
How does mcp-simple-timeserver obtain accurate time and what happens if NTP is unavailable?
All tools except get_local_time query an NTP time server for precise timestamps. If the NTP request fails, the server gracefully falls back to the host machine’s local clock and includes a notice about the fallback.
Asked by Isabela Almeida · Sep 24, 2025
Can the get_current_time tool provide time for any location and what additional info does it return?
Yes, you can specify a city, country, or IANA timezone; the tool returns the local time, timezone, UTC offset, DST status, and notes if the date is a public holiday at that location.
