No install snippet on purpose. A working MCP config is a command, its arguments and an environment block — the last two are where API keys live, so this catalogue never stores them and cannot publish them. Follow the link above for the authors' own instructions.

Overview
@strix-ai/currentdt-mcp is an MCP server that provides AI assistants with instant access to current date and time information. Essential for generating timestamped code, migration files, and dated documentation.

Core Features
- Never ambiguous about timezone - every response states the same instant as UTC, as local time with its real offset, and as epoch milliseconds
- Any IANA timezone -
timezone: "Asia/Tokyo"on the current time, and aconvert_timezonetool that is DST-correct for the date in question - Multiple Formats - ISO 8601, named patterns, token patterns (
YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm Z) - Structured output -
structuredContentwith a declared schema, plus plain text for older clients - Zero Configuration -
npx -yand go; Node 18+ - MCP Compatible - Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf
MCP Client Integration
Every client below uses the same server entry. npx -y fetches the package on first
use and suppresses the install prompt, so nothing needs to be installed beforehand.
