What

MCP elicitation now supports natural language date/time input with intelligent parsing.

Details
  • Accepts natural language: "tomorrow", "next Monday", "jan 1st 2025", "in 2 hours"
  • Converts to ISO 8601 format automatically
  • Prefers future dates over past dates when ambiguous
  • For dates without times, omits the time component
  • Supports multiple formats: uri, email, date, date-time
  • Shows current context (date, time, timezone, day of week) to help parsing
  • Includes minItems/maxItems validation for selection elicitations
  • Gracefully handles invalid input with clear error messages
Evidence

Date parser prompt (search for "You are a date/time parser")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
