Recommendations for MCP server that feeds Correct Date/Time?

Hey guys,
I have a very basic problem, but I haven’t found an easy solution for it, so that’s why I’m asking here.

Whenever I’m using Cursor, I have a certain “Task.md” file that is populated with tasks that need to be done. However, whenever any LLM model finishes coding, it doesn’t put he propper date (present date) next to the task.
That’s probably because of their cut-off training date.

Can you recommend any MCP server that can be used in Cursor to feed the LLM model the proper date/time?

Thanks!

You do not need an MCP at all.

Add to the Cursor rules an instruction to fetch the current date from the terminal when required. it can do that :slight_smile:

CLI does OK, but an MCP tool is more reliable. I wrote an MCP server for time that has two tools, get_current_time which spits out epoch millis + ISO formats, and resolve_time_description which uses chrono-node to resolve arbitrary time reference values like last Monday or yesterday. Works well.

Is the MCP you use accessible / installable by other users? Could you share the link?

Text instruction like you describe make sense with MCP.

Here’s a simplified version of the code
