About Date Utils Engine MCP Server
LLMs suffer from 'calendar blindness'. Because they lack a continuous clock and process dates as text tokens, asking an AI 'What is 45 days from October 12th?' often results in a hallucinated, incorrect date (forgetting November has 30 days, or missing a leap year). This MCP brings the industry standard date-fns and date-fns-tz to your agentic workflows.
LlamaIndex agents combine Date Utils Engine tool responses with indexed documents for comprehensive, grounded answers. Connect 4 tools through Vinkius and query live data alongside vector stores and SQL databases in a single turn. ideal for hybrid search, data enrichment, and analytical workflows.
The Superpowers
- Flawless Date Math: Safely add or subtract days, months, and years while guaranteeing 100% calendar accuracy.
- Timezone Mastery: Convert UTC timestamps into any exact IANA timezone (e.g.
America/Sao_Paulo) automatically accounting for Daylight Savings Time shifts without guessing. - Zero Latency: Executes as native V8 javascript local. Does not rely on external calendar APIs.
The Date Utils Engine MCP Server exposes 4 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LlamaIndex in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
All 4 Date Utils Engine tools available for LlamaIndex
When LlamaIndex connects to Date Utils Engine through Vinkius, your AI agent gets direct access to every tool listed below — spanning date-math, timezone-conversion, leap-year, and more. Every call runs in a secure, isolated environment with full audit visibility. Beyond a simple connection, you get real-time monitoring of agent activity, enterprise governance, and optimized token usage.
Add days on Date Utils Engine
Pass the base ISO date and the number of days (negative to subtract). Receives the exact resulting date. Adds or subtracts a specific number of calendar days from a date deterministically
Diff dates on Date Utils Engine
Pass both ISO date strings and receive the delta in days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Calculates the exact number of calendar days between two dates
Parse date on Date Utils Engine
Pass the raw date string and receive a confirmed valid date object. Parses an ISO date string safely to ensure it is valid
To timezone on Date Utils Engine
Pass the ISO date string and the IANA timezone identifier (e.g. "America/Sao_Paulo", "Europe/London"). Accounts for daylight saving time automatically. Converts a UTC or ISO date string to a specific IANA timezone safely accounting for daylight savings
