Over the last week it answered 48.3% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

datetime_now

Returns the actual current date/time — an LLM has a training cutoff and no live clock, so it can't know what time it actually is right now.

Current Date/Time Tool — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Current Date/Time Tool do?

It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: datetime_now. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Current Date/Time Tool working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 189 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Current Date/Time Tool?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Current Date/Time Tool need an API key?

No. Current Date/Time Tool completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Current Date/Time Tool?

It answers our handshake in 189 ms on average, which is faster than 64% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
