world-clock

A set of instructions for answering time and timezone questions with live data from a public clock service. It covers city lookup, time conversion, coordinates, and daylight-saving changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding the time in one or more places, converting UTC or local times, planning calls across time zones, and checking when clocks change.
Why use it?
It helps an agent handle changing timezone rules and difficult date-and-time calculations accurately instead of guessing from memory.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

world-clock scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

World Clock

Live time facts from worldclock.pro. Never answer timezone questions from memory: DST rules change, offsets are political, and wall-time math has edge cases. The server is public, read-only, and needs no key: https://worldclock.pro/mcp

Pick the right tool

Question shape Tool
What time is it in X (one or many places, up to 50) get_current_time
It is 9am in A, what time in B, C, D convert_time with from.dateTime + from.location
Express this UTC instant in local times convert_time with utc
Time or timezone at lat/lon time_by_coordinates
Does X observe DST, when do clocks change get_dst_transitions (optional year)
Which city is this, what is its timezone or slug search_cities

How to phrase locations

Every location is exactly ONE of:

  • query: city name, slug, or alias ("Tokyo", "new-york", "nyc", "Москва", "São Paulo")
  • timezone: IANA id ("America/New_York") or abbreviation ("PST", "ET", "UTC")
  • latitude + longitude (both required)

Passing two forms at once is an error. For convert_time, pass exactly one of utc or from. Bare datetimes with no zone designator are read as UTC. from.dateTime must look like "2026-06-29T09:00" (local wall time, no zone).

Gotchas the tools handle for you (do not second-guess)

  • DST boundaries: always convert on the actual date, not with today's offset. A 9am New York call is a different UTC instant in January and July.
  • "EST" is a FIXED offset (UTC-5 year round). "ET" means real New York wall time and follows DST. Prefer "ET" or the IANA id unless the user really means the fixed offset. Same for CST/CT, MST/MT, PST/PT.
  • Half and quarter offsets are real: India +5:30, Nepal +5:45, Eucla +8:45. Never round offsets to whole hours.
  • Ambiguous city names (San Jose, Hyderabad, Portland): call search_cities first, confirm the country, then pass the returned slug as query.
  • Date line: conversions can change the weekday. Report the weekday field from the response, do not infer it.
  • Fixed abbreviations report isDST false and no transitions by design.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

world-clock is a skill published in the GitHub repository worldclockpro/worldclock-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 1,063 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
