I was looking for the calendar app that was built but I guess it's metaphorical.
"We made an API for time so now the AI has the current time in it's context" is the bulk of it, yes?

With an MCP server the model can call now(), diff it against earlier turns, and notice: "you were away 3 h, shall I recap?" or "deadline is 18 h out, let’s prioritise". That continuous sense of elapsed time simply isn’t possible with a static timestamp stuffed into the initial prompt; you'd have to create a new chat to update the time, and every fresh query would require re‑injecting the entire conversation history. MCP gives the model a live clock instead of a snapshot.
