An MCP time server that keeps your AI honest about time. Zero-dependency clock + drift guard for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and claude.ai — local, remote, and hook flavors.
View on GitHub ↗An MCP time server that keeps your AI honest about time.
Your AI assistant has no clock. It guesses time from context — and in long chats it fails: calls a 10-minute-old message "yesterday", says "good night" at 2 PM, plans "tomorrow" from a date three days stale. If you run multi-day working sessions with Claude, you've seen it.
tick fixes it. Zero dependencies, one file per flavor:
Setup looks technical? Paste this page into any Claude chat and ask it to walk you through — in Claude Code it can do the whole install for you.

- now — the real current date/time (any IANA timezone), with weekday. - since — honest gap between a timestamp and now ("3h 42m ago") — the anti-"yesterday" tool.
Tool descriptions are written to push the model to check time before using any relative time words. That's the point: not a clock the AI may look at — a clock it's told to look at.
Here's Claude itself on whether it needs this ("I have no internal clock. I can't feel time passing."):
And live — the model checks the clock before answering, and retries the call instead of inventing a timestamp when the first attempt fails:
It knows the date the session started. That's it. In a chat that runs for hours or days, that stamp goes stale — and there is no time of day, no weekday awareness mid-session, and no
