# Time

> Use this tool when you need to manipulate time and dates in various formats, solve problems related to scheduling workflows, time-based analysis, and building AI assistants that require robust programmatic time handling. It provides inputs such as natural language time expressions and outputs formatted time and date values, supporting multiple transport methods and IANA timezone handling. It is ideal for use cases involving current time retrieval, timezone conversion, duration arithmetic, and time comparison, making it a valuable asset for AI agents that need to perform complex time operations.

## Description

This MCP server provides AI assistants with time and date manipulation capabilities through five specialized tools covering current time retrieval, timezone conversion, duration arithmetic, natural language relative time parsing, and time comparison. Built by TheoBrigitte using Go with the mark3labs/mcp-go library, araddon/dateparse for flexible time parsing, and tj/go-naturaldate for natural language processing, it supports multiple transport methods (stdio and HTTP stream), flexible time formatting with predefined layouts, and IANA timezone handling. The implementation includes comprehensive error handling, multi-architecture builds with Docker support, and handles complex time operations like parsing expressions such as 'yesterday' or 'next month', making it valuable for scheduling workflows, time-based analysis, and building AI assistants that need robust programmatic time manipulation without manual date calculations.
