Tick MCP
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. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.
Teams that work with time and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in Python.
