datetime-mcp

[](https://smithery.ai/server/@pinkpixel-dev/datetime-mcp)

A powerful MCP server that provides LLMs with current date and time context with comprehensive timezone support. Get the current time in any timezone, with configurable defaults and intelligent fallbacks.

This is a TypeScript-based MCP server built with the Model Context Protocol that demonstrates timezone-aware datetime functionality.

• `get_current_datetime`: Returns the current date and time with full timezone support
• Optional timezone parameter: Specify any IANA timezone (e.g., America/New_York, Europe/London, Asia/Tokyo)
• Configurable defaults: Set server default timezone via environment variables
• Smart fallbacks: Automatically falls back to UTC if no timezone is configured
• Robust validation: Validates timezone identifiers and provides helpful error messages
• ISO-compatible format: Returns properly formatted datetime strings with timezone information
