MCP tools · 11 exposed · ~984 tokens

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 →

What tools does the Icyn Date MCP server expose?

Icyn Date exposes 11 tools: date_context, is_workday, holidays, workdays, next_long_weekend, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 984 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Icyn Date MCP server still maintained?

Icyn Date is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
