The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
business_days ~215

Works with business (working) days. mode "add": returns the date N business days after start_date (start_date itself is not counted; negative N goes backward; 0 returns start_date, or the next business day if start_date is not one). mode "count": counts business days from start_date to end_date, including both ends. Weekends default to Saturday and Sunday. Public holidays are NOT built in — pass them in "holidays".

NameTypeReqDescription

convert_timezone ~216

Converts a date/time from one time zone to another, correctly handling daylight saving time. If the input already includes an offset or 'Z', from_timezone is ignored.

NameTypeReqDescription
datetimestringyesDate/time in ISO 8601 (e.g. "2026-03-08T14:30", "2026-03-08T14:30:00Z", "2026-03-08"), "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm", a Unix timestamp in seconds or milliseconds, or "now".
from_timezonestring–IANA time zone name, e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London", "Asia/Tokyo", or "UTC". Fixed offsets like "UTC+5:30" also work. Defaults to UTC.
to_timezonestringyesIANA time zone name, e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London", "Asia/Tokyo", or "UTC". Fixed offsets like "UTC+5:30" also work.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

current_time ~102

Returns the exact current date, time, weekday and UTC offset in any time zone. Use this whenever you need to know today's date or the current time instead of guessing — your training data does not know what day it is.

NameTypeReqDescription
timezonestring–IANA time zone name, e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London", "Asia/Tokyo", or "UTC". Fixed offsets like "UTC+5:30" also work.

date_add ~301

Adds or subtracts a duration (years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds) to a date/time. Use negative numbers to subtract. Calendar-aware: adding 1 month to Jan 31 gives Feb 28/29, and adding days keeps the same local clock time across daylight-saving changes.

NameTypeReqDescription
datetimestringyesDate/time in ISO 8601 (e.g. "2026-03-08T14:30", "2026-03-08T14:30:00Z", "2026-03-08"), "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm", a Unix timestamp in seconds or milliseconds, or "now".

Install

How do I install the Plumbkit MCP server?

Plumbkit is a hosted endpoint at https://plumbkit.dev/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Common questions

What is the Plumbkit MCP server?

Plumbkit is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.plumbkit/plumbkit. Exact utilities for agents: time zones, date math, business days, calculator, units, validation. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://plumbkit.dev/mcp).

Is the Plumbkit MCP server safe to use?

Plumbkit scores 75 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Plumbkit MCP server expose?

Plumbkit exposes 16 tools: current_time, convert_timezone, date_add, date_diff, business_days, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,342 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Plumbkit MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Plumbkit without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the Plumbkit MCP server still maintained?

Plumbkit is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
