Passage of Time MCP Program Core Functions and Values
Passage of Time MCP is an innovative open source project that addresses the inherent shortcomings of Large Language Models (LLMs) in time understanding by providing time-awareness and time-computing capabilities. Developed in collaboration with Jérémie Lumbroso and Claude Opus 4.0 (Anthropic), the project is inspired by the philosophical question 'can artificial intelligence perceive the passage of time'.
The core value of the program is:
- Provide accurate time calculation functions for LLM (e.g. time difference calculation, time zone conversion)
- Enable the model to understand the temporal context and patterns of the conversation
- Real-time time awareness through functions such as current_datetime()
- Standardized integration with language models using Model Context Protocol (MCP)
The project is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and the code is publicly available on GitHub, encouraging the developer community to participate in collaboration and improvements.
