Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other apps

Add it as a custom connector with this URL (Streamable HTTP):

https://plumbkit.dev/mcp

This server expects extra headers, usually an API key from its maker.

Cursor, VS Code and other apps (mcp.json)

Tools it offers

16 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

  • current_timeReturns the exact current date, time, weekday and UTC offset in any time zone. Use this whenever you need to know today's date or the current time instead of guessing — your training data does not know what day it is.
  • convert_timezoneConverts a date/time from one time zone to another, correctly handling daylight saving time. If the input already includes an offset or 'Z', from_timezone is ignored.
  • date_addAdds or subtracts a duration (years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds) to a date/time. Use negative numbers to subtract. Calendar-aware: adding 1 month to Jan 31 gives Feb 28/29, and adding days keeps the sam
  • date_diffCalculates the exact time between two dates/times: a calendar breakdown (years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds) plus totals in days, hours, minutes and seconds, and the number of calendar days. Negative if end is
  • business_daysWorks with business (working) days. mode "add": returns the date N business days after start_date (start_date itself is not counted; negative N goes backward; 0 returns start_date, or the next business day if start_date
  • calculateEvaluates an arithmetic expression exactly, so you don't have to do mental math. Supports + - * / % ^ (or **), parentheses, constants pi/e/tau and functions: sqrt, cbrt, abs, round(x, digits), floor, ceil, trunc, sign, l
  • convert_unitsConverts a value between units of length, mass, volume (US and imperial), area, speed, time, digital data (KB vs KiB, bits vs bytes), energy, pressure and temperature. Accepts common abbreviations (km, lb, fl oz, mph, °F
  • text_statsCounts exactly what language models are bad at counting: characters (as humans see them), words, lines, sentences, paragraphs, UTF-8 bytes, and occurrences of a letter or substring (e.g. how many "r" in "strawberry"). Us
  • hash_textComputes a cryptographic hash (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512) of text, or encodes/decodes it as Base64, Base64URL, hex or URL-encoding. Text is treated as UTF-8.
  • regex_testRuns a JavaScript regular expression against text and returns every match with its position and capture groups, or the text after replacement. Use it to verify a regex actually works before relying on it.
  • validate_emailChecks whether an email address is correctly formatted and returns a normalized version. Set check_dns=true to also confirm the domain exists and can receive mail (MX records). Does not send email and cannot confirm that
  • validate_phoneValidates a phone number using Google's libphonenumber rules and returns it in E.164 (+14155552671), international and national formats, plus the country and line type (mobile, fixed line, toll free...). For numbers with
  • validate_urlChecks that a URL is well-formed, normalizes it (lowercase host, punycode, default ports removed, spaces encoded) and splits it into parts including each query parameter. Flags common problems such as missing scheme, pri
  • validate_ibanValidates an International Bank Account Number: country, length for that country, and the mod-97 check digits. Returns electronic and printed formats. A valid IBAN is correctly formed; this does not confirm the account e
  • json_repairTurns almost-JSON into valid JSON: removes markdown code fences, comments and trailing commas, adds missing quotes, commas and closing brackets, converts single quotes, Python True/False/None and truncated output. Return
  • json_schema_validateChecks a JSON value against a JSON Schema (drafts 4, 7, 2019-09 and 2020-12) and lists every violation with its location. Use it to confirm structured output or an API payload is correct before sending it. `data` and `sc
