How do I handle time ranges that cross midnight?

The `calculate_time_span` tool automatically detects if the end time is earlier than the start time and adjusts the calculation to account for the day rollover.

What time format should I use?

All inputs must be provided in the 24-hour HH:MM format (e.g., '09:30' or '22:15').

Can I use this to check if a day transition occurred?

Yes, you can use the `detect_day_transition` tool to specifically identify if your specified time range includes a crossing of the midnight threshold.

This MCP server provides precise tools to calculate the elapsed time between two timestamps in a 24-hour format. Using calculate_time_span, you can find the exact hours and minutes passed, even if the period crosses midnight. The detect_day_transition tool identifies if a duration spans across a new day, while summarize_time_difference formats your results into a clean, human-readable string like '2h 30m'. It is ideal for scheduling, logging, and temporal analysis tasks.
