Bug Description

Claude Code has no idea what year it even is, leading to poor search results. Please add an MCP server that provides it with the current date before each search to improve accuracy.

Steps to Reproduce

Expected Behavior

The current year to be used in searches (2025)

Actual Behavior

It typically adds '2024' to the search terms (it is 2025 at time of filing)
