# Sleep

> Use this tool when you need to introduce timed delays between operations, such as spacing out API calls or simulating time-dependent processes. It provides a simple 'sleep' function that waits for a specified duration in milliseconds, solving problems related to timing and synchronization. This tool is ideal for use cases requiring precise control over timing, with a straightforward interface that takes a duration as input and outputs a delayed response.

## Description

This MCP server implementation provides a simple sleep/wait tool, allowing AI agents to introduce delays between operations. Developed by Garoth, it offers a single 'sleep' tool that waits for a specified duration in milliseconds. Built with TypeScript and integrating the Model Context Protocol SDK, the server focuses on ease of use and configuration. It is particularly useful for scenarios requiring timed delays, such as spacing out API calls, testing eventually consistent systems, or simulating time-dependent processes. The implementation includes Jest-based tests to verify sleep functionality with various durations and supports easy deployment through npm scripts.
