Date math and SVG rendering for fictional and custom calendars. Exact, stateless and deterministic. Connect the official Almanack MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through gate — one gateway URL, no config files, security-checked.
Free to start · No credit card · No hosting needed
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “validate_calendar_spec”: Check a calendar spec and list everything wrong with it. Returns structured errors and warnings; it never throws and never partially accepts.”
“Use “convert_date”: Convert between a calendar date, its day number, and its Gregorian date. Give exactly one of date, day_number, gregorian or one of their plu.”
“Use “calendar_weekday”: Which weekday a date falls on, as a 0-based index into the calendar's own week plus its name. Exact; never estimates. Returns weekday null w.”
“Use “nth_weekday_of_month”: The nth given weekday of a month: the 3rd Tuesday, the last Friday. n is 1-based from the start of the month, or negative from the end (-1 i.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Almanack holds up.
Operated by Almanack (almanack.dev) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If Almanack adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose Almanack in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Almanack's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

Fetched live from the official endpoint and re-checked daily by gate — not marketing copy.
validate_calendar_spec — Check a calendar spec and list everything wrong with it. Returns structured errors and warnings; it never throws and never partially accepts
convert_date — Convert between a calendar date, its day number, and its Gregorian date. Give exactly one of date, day_number, gregorian or one of their plu
calendar_weekday — Which weekday a date falls on, as a 0-based index into the calendar's own week plus its name. Exact; never estimates. Returns weekday null w
nth_weekday_of_month — The nth given weekday of a month: the 3rd Tuesday, the last Friday. n is 1-based from the start of the month, or negative from the end (-1 i
date_interval — The distance between two dates. 'days' is the exact signed count (negative when end precedes start) and is always reliable. 'calendar' break
add_to_date — Move a date by years, months, days and ticks. They are applied in that fixed order, which matters: a month then a day is not always the same
moon_phases — Every moon's phase on a date. 'fraction' is the exact position in the cycle, 0.0 at new and 0.5 at full, and is the number to compute with.
format_calendar_date — Write a date out to a pattern. pattern is either a name from the calendar's own 'formats' (names win) or a pattern written out. Tokens: {day

https://almanack.dev/mcpYes — Almanack operates its own remote MCP server at almanack.dev. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Almanack in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Almanack's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. Almanack runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Almanack in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
