A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides current UTC time in RFC 3339 format
Single tool with bare-minimum implementation. Tool is properly registered with name, description, and input schema, but lacks depth in description, parameter annotations, output schema documentation, and error handling. The description (82 chars) is adequate but generic. Input schema is empty (no parameters), which is correct for this tool's purpose but offers no guidance. No output schema documentation visible. Error handling is minimal (generic ValueError). This is a functional but under-engineered implementation typical of STDIO-only utilities.
Gets the current UTC date and time in RFC 3339 format
Output schema not documented. Tool returns a string timestamp but LLMs have no explicit spec for the return type or format. Documentation should state: returns TextContent with text field containing RFC 3339 UTC timestamp.
Error handling is generic and non-actionable. ValueError for unknown tools does not tell the LLM what went wrong or how to recover. Should return structured error with clear messaging.
Tool description is somewhat generic. Current: 'Gets the current UTC date and time in RFC 3339 format'. Could clarify: When to use (timezone conversions, timestamps), what it returns (ISO 8601 string), and that it's a read-only lookup with no side effects.
