## Description

Claude has no built-in clock — it doesn't know what day or time it is. This server fixes that.

Tools included:

get_today — Returns the current date, time, and weekday in any IANA timezone (e.g. America/New_York). Falls back to your configured default timezone automatically.
convert_timezone — Converts any datetime string between two timezones. Supports both offset-aware ISO strings and naive datetimes with an explicit source timezone.
Use cases:

"What day is it?" / "What time is it in Tokyo?"
Scheduling and calendar tasks that need today's date
Converting meeting times across timezones
Any prompt where Claude needs to know the current date.
