# Temporal Context & Datetime Resolution

5 tools for temporal orientation and datetime computation. All tools execute locally within the compiled MCP server binary — no external API calls, no network access at runtime, no credential files. The binary is installed once via npm (or built from source with Docker) and all subsequent executions are fully offline. No OAuth or credentials required. Timezone and week-start preferences are stored in `config.json`. Unset fields default to system timezone and Monday week-start.

## Tools

| Tool | When to Use |
|------|------------|
| `get_temporal_context` | First call in any session. Returns current time, timezone, UTC offset, DST status, DST prediction, day of week. |
| `resolve_datetime` | Convert human expressions to RFC 3339. Supports 60+ patterns: `"next Tuesday at 2pm"`, `"tomorrow morning"`, `"+2h"`, `"start of next week"`, `"third Friday of March"`. |
| `convert_timezone` | Convert RFC 3339 datetime between IANA timezones. |
| `compute_duration` | Duration between two timestamps (days, hours, minutes). |
| `adjust_timestamp` | DST-aware timestamp adjustment. `"+1d"` across spring-forward = same wall-clock time. |

## Runtime

These tools run inside the [Temporal Cortex MCP server](https://github.com/temporal-cortex/mcp) (`@temporal-cortex/cortex-mcp`), a compiled Rust binary distributed as an npm package.

**Install and startup lifecycle:**
1. `npx` resolves `@temporal-cortex/cortex-mcp` from the npm registry (one-time, cached locally after first download)
2. The postinstall script downloads the platform-specific b...
