Provides current time and timezone conversion capabilities using IANA timezone names, with automatic system timezone detection.
A Model Context Protocol server that provides time and timezone conversion capabilities. This server enables LLMs to get current time information and perform timezone conversions using IANA timezone names, with automatic system timezone detection.
get_current_time
- Get current time in a specific timezone or system timezone.
timezone
(string): IANA timezone name (e.g., 'America/New_York', 'Europe/London')convert_time
- Convert time between timezones.
source_timezone
(string): Source IANA timezone nametime
(string): Time in 24-hour format (HH:MM)target_timezone
(string): Target IANA timezone nameWhen using uv
no specific installation is needed. We will
use uvx
to directly run mcp-server-time.
Alternatively you can install mcp-server-time
via pip:
pip install mcp-server-time
After installation, you can run it as a script using:
python -m mcp_server_time
Add to your Claude settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"time": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-time"]
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"time": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp/time"]
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"time": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time"]
}
}
}
Add to your Zed settings.json:
"context_servers": [
"mcp-server-time": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-time"]
}
],
"context_servers": {
"mcp-server-time": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time"]
}
},
For quick installation, use one of the one-click install buttons below...
For manual installation, add the following JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file in VS Code. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P
and typing Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)
.
Optionally, you can add it to a file called .vscode/mcp.json
in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.
Note that the
mcp
key is needed when using themcp.json
file.
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"time": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-time"]
}
}
}
}
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"time": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp/time"]
}
}
}
}
By default, the server automatically detects your system's timezone. You can override this by adding the argument --local-timezone
to the args
list in the configuration.
Example:
{
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time", "--local-timezone=America/New_York"]
}
{
"name": "get_current_time",
"arguments": {
"timezone": "Europe/Warsaw"
}
}
Response:
{
"timezone": "Europe/Warsaw",
"datetime": "2024-01-01T13:00:00+01:00",
"is_dst": false
}
{
"name": "convert_time",
"arguments": {
"source_timezone": "America/New_York",
"time": "16:30",
"target_timezone": "Asia/Tokyo"
}
}
Response:
{
"source": {
"timezone": "America/New_York",
"datetime": "2024-01-01T12:30:00-05:00",
"is_dst": false
},
"target": {
"timezone": "Asia/Tokyo",
"datetime": "2024-01-01T12:30:00+09:00",
"is_dst": false
},
"time_difference": "+13.0h",
}
You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-time
Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:
cd path/to/servers/src/time
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-server-time
Docker build:
cd src/time
docker build -t mcp/time .
We encourage contributions to help expand and improve mcp-server-time. Whether you want to add new time-related tools, enhance existing functionality, or improve documentation, your input is valuable.
