About this plugin
When building AI-assisted workflows or automation pipelines, you often need the current date and time as a precisely formatted string. Rolling your own logic every time is tedious and error-prone. xby-datetime plugs into Claude Desktop as an MCP server, letting you fetch standardized, multi-format date-time strings with a single tool call.
Two tools do the heavy lifting: get_datetime returns the current date and time in several ready-to-use formats, covering common needs like log stamps, report headers, and API parameters; set_xby_apikey lets you supply and persist your API key right from the chat, so it survives restarts without manual re-entry.
It is a practical fit for developers who frequently need formatted date-time strings inside Claude-based conversations or automated pipelines, and who prefer a lightweight, ready-to-use MCP tool over piecing together custom logic.
Use Cases
- Fetch current date-time strings in multiple formats directly from a chat
- Generate standardized timestamps for API parameters or log fields
- Produce consistent time strings in automated workflows without manual formatting
Best For
- Developers using Claude Desktop with the MCP protocol
- Users who need frequent time-formatting calls within conversations
- Teams that want to eliminate the hassle of hand-rolling date strings
