`parse_duration`

Pack: duration · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/parse_duration for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Parse an ISO 8601 duration string (e.g. “PT1H30M”, “P1Y2M10DT2H”) into its components and an approximate total in seconds (keyless, offline). Note: months=30d, years=365d for the estimate.

Parameters
