Installation
cd /home/danfmaia/_repos/_mcp/util-mcp
uv install
Usage
MCP Server (via Cursor)
The server is configured in /home/danfmaia/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"utilities": {
"name": "Utility MCP Server",
"type": "command",
"command": "/home/danfmaia/.local/bin/uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/home/danfmaia/_repos/_mcp/util-mcp",
"run",
"util_server.py"
]
}
}
Standalone Testing
uv run util_server.py
Testing DateTime Tools
uv run python test_datetime.py
Usage Examples
DateTime Tools
Get current time in different timezones:
get_current_datetime("UTC", "readable")→ "Tuesday, September 09, 2025 at 11:56:34 PM UTC"get_current_datetime("America/Sao_Paulo", "iso")→ "2025-09-09T20:56:34-03:00"get_current_datetime("US/Eastern", "custom")→ "2025-09-09 19:56:34 EDT"
Calculate time differences:
calculate_time_difference("2025-09-09 10:00:00", "2025-09-09 14:30:00", "UTC")→ "4 hours, 30 minutes"calculate_time_difference("2025-09-08 15:00:00", "", "UTC")→ Time from yesterday 3pm to now
Technical Constraints
Read.AI API Limitation
Current Status: No publicly available Read.AI API documentation or third-party access endpoints identified.
Search Evidence:
- Cursor native @Web search: No API documentation found
- Custom MCP web research: No API endpoints discovered
- Technical assessment: Browser automation would require significant maintenance overhead
Recommendation: Manual download workflow until Read.AI provides official API access.
