About tick-mcp

An MCP time server that keeps your AI honest about time.

Your AI assistant has no clock. It guesses time from context — and in long chats it fails: calls a 10-minute-old message "yesterday", says "good night" at 2 PM, plans "tomorrow" from a date three days stale. If you run multi-day working sessions with Claude, you've seen it.

tick fixes it. Zero dependencies, one file per flavor:

Tool descriptions are written to push the model to check time before using any relative time words. That's the point: not a clock the AI may look at — a clock it's told to look at.

Here's Claude itself on whether it needs this ("I have no internal clock. I can't feel time passing."):

And live — the model checks the clock before answering, and retries the call instead of inventing a timestamp when the first attempt fails:

It knows the date the session started. That's it. In a chat that runs for hours or days, that stamp goes stale — and there is no time of day, no weekday awareness mid-session, and no
