What is the Temporal MCP Server?

Wall-clock awareness for LLM agents. Two tools: elapsed-time-between-turns + day rollover detection.

What the server does

temporal-mcp is a tiny Model Context Protocol server that gives LLM agents a sense of time between turns. Two tools, a few hundred lines, stdlib + mcp + platformdirs. That's the whole thing.
