- Python 3.12+ with minimal dependencies (only mcp[cli])
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Mix ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install the server using uv, set up the provided Cursor configuration example, then start the server with uv run main.py. Once running, you can call get_local_current_time() to return the current time in YYYY-MM-DD@HH:MM:SS format (Asia/Shanghai timezone) or open_file_or_url_in_browser(target) to open a local file or web URL in your default browser.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

A Python-based server that provides local time functionality through MCP (Model Control Protocol).
Features
- Get current local time in various formats
- Open files and URLs in the default web browser
- Simple and lightweight implementation
- Built with FastMCP for easy integration
- Uses uv for fast and reliable dependency management
Prerequisites
- Python 3.x
- uv package manager (recommended for build and environment management)
- Cursor IDE (for development)
Project Structure
The project consists of the following key files:
- main.py: The main server implementation with the time functionality
- server.py: Server configuration and setup
- pyproject.toml: Project configuration and dependencies
- Defines project metadata (name, version, description)
- Specifies Python version requirement (>=3.12)
- Lists project dependencies (mcp[cli]>=1.6.0)
- .python-version: Specifies the Python version for the project
- .gitignore: Git ignore rules for the project
- mcp.json.example: Example configuration file for Cursor IDE
- Contains MCP server settings for local development
- Should be copied to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for Cursor integration
- Defines server configurations for time and sequential thinking services
Installation
1. Clone the repository:
git clone <repository-url>
cd mix-server
2. Create and activate virtual environment using uv:
```bash
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Unix/macOS
