Parse Date converts human-readable date strings into structured formats. Use via MCP tools in Cursor or Windsurf, or call GET /v1/datetime/parse directly. Handles formats like "March 15, 2024", "2024-03-15T10:30:00Z", or "next Tuesday". Returns standardized ISO timestamps, preventing AI agents from generating incorrect date calculations.
curl "https://tinyfn.io/v1/datetime/parse" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"const response = await fetch('https://tinyfn.io/v1/datetime/parse', {
headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);import requests
response = requests.get('https://tinyfn.io/v1/datetime/parse',
headers={'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'})
data = response.json()
print(data)Connect your AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to TinyFn's date/time tools:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tinyfn-datetime": {
"url": "https://tinyfn.io/mcp/datetime",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Supports ISO 8601, RFC formats, natural language ("next Monday", "in 3 days"), and common patterns like MM/DD/YYYY, DD-MM-YYYY, and "March 15, 2024".
Simply reference date parsing in your prompt. The AI agent will call the MCP tool automatically, ensuring accurate date interpretation instead of hallucinated results.
Returns structured data with the parsed timestamp, detected format, and timezone information. Ambiguous formats like "01/02/2024" follow configurable locale conventions.
Yes, it processes relative expressions based on the current system time, returning absolute timestamps for consistent date calculations across applications.
Handles timezone-aware parsing, converting to UTC by default. Supports timezone abbreviations, offsets (+05:00), and named zones (America/New_York).
