Epoch Calculator MCP server

Which MCP servers are Epoch Calculator's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.epochcalc/epochcalcverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under epochcalc.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-19 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 39 ms.

Should an agent connect itConnect it
  • Its tools do every use case we checked: convert unix timestamps to readable dates; calculate durations between two dates; compare current times across world cities.

Once connected

  • For "convert unix timestamps to readable dates", the likely first call is convert_timestamp.
  • For "calculate durations between two dates", the likely first call is date_duration.
  • For "compare current times across world cities", the likely first call is time_now.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

Tools it offers8 tools · read 2026-10-19
  • time_now

    The current time: Unix epoch in seconds and milliseconds, ISO 8601, and the local wall-clock time in a given IANA time zone with its current UTC offset and DST status. Use this before any relative date reasoning.

  • convert_timestamp

    Convert a Unix timestamp (seconds or milliseconds; auto-detected unless unit is given) to a human-readable date in a time zone, with ISO 8601, RFC 2822, UTC offset, DST flag, weekday, and a relative phrase like "3 days ago".

  • parse_datetime

    Parse a date/time string (ISO 8601, RFC 2822, HTTP date, SQL "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss", or a Unix timestamp) into a Unix timestamp and a normalized description. Strings without an offset are interpreted in the given time zone.

  • convert_timezone

    Convert a wall-clock date/time from one IANA time zone to another, correctly across daylight-saving transitions. Returns both sides with offsets, the hour difference at that instant, and whether either zone is on DST.

  • date_duration

    The exact duration between two dates or date-times: calendar years/months/days, plus total days, hours, minutes and seconds, and the number of weekdays (Mon-Fri). Handles leap years and DST via the IANA database.

  • epoch_math

    Add to or subtract from a Unix timestamp in calendar-aware units (years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds) in a time zone, e.g. "now + 30 days" or "1748736543 - 3 months". Returns the resulting timestamp in every format.

  • cron_next_runs

    Explain a 5- or 6-field cron expression in plain English and list its next run times in a time zone (as ISO 8601 and Unix timestamps). Use to answer "when does this cron job run next?" or to validate an expression.

  • days_until

    Countdown to a holiday or to a date: days, hours and minutes remaining, and the next occurrence date. Pass an event slug (e.g. "christmas", "thanksgiving", "easter", "super-bowl") or a date (YYYY-MM-DD). Call with no arguments to list the…

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "epochcalc": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://epochcalc.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http epochcalc https://epochcalc.com/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://epochcalc.com/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
