An MCP server just for telling the time: Stamp fixes LLM's frozen-clock gap
paulahjort · reddit · 2026-09-07
A developer points out a real gap: an LLM only knows the static date injected at conversation start—it has no way to know how much time has passed mid-session or what time it actually is. Fine for humans, but a genuine problem for agents making scheduling decisions, logging events, or reasoning about deadlines.
He released Stamp, a minimal MCP server that just tells the time, now listed on Smithery. Simple, but it addresses a real long-session agent need.
