A Model Context Protocol server that provides time capabilities. This server enables LLMs to get current time information using IANA timezone names, with automatic system timezone detection.
- get_current_time- Get current time in a specific timezone or system timezone.
- Required arguments:
- timezone(string): IANA timezone name (e.g., 'America/New_York', 'Europe/London')
When usinguvno specific installation is needed. We will useuvxto directly runmcp-server-time.
Alternatively you can installmcp-server-timevia pip:
After installation, you can run it as a script using:
Build and run with mcp-proxy for HTTP/SSE access:
# Build the SSE-enabled Docker image docker build -f Dockerfile.sse -t mcp-time-sse . # Run the container (accessible via HTTP on port 8999) docker run -p 8999:8999 mcp-time-sse
{ "mcpServers": { "time": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-server-time", "--local-timezone", "Asia/Shanghai"] } } }
{ "mcpServers": { "time": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "run", "--directory", "D:/WorkSpace/demo/servers/src/time", "mcp-server-time", "--local-timezone", "Asia/Shanghai" ] } } }
{ "mcpServers": { "time": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp/time"] } } }
{ "mcpServers": { "time": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time", "--local-timezone", "Asia/Shanghai"] } } }
"context_servers": [ "mcp-server-time": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-server-time", "--local-timezone", "Asia/Shanghai"] } ],
"context_servers": { "mcp-server-time": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time", "--local-timezone", "Asia/Shanghai"] } },
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 pressingCtrl + Shift + Pand typingPreferences: Open User Settings (JSON).
Optionally, you can add it to a file called.vscode/mcp.jsonin your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.
Note that themcpkey is needed when using themcp.jsonfile.
{ "mcp": { "servers": { "time": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-server-time", "--local-timezone", "Asia/Shanghai"] } } } }
{ "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-timezoneto theargslist in the configuration.
{ "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time", "--local-timezone=Asia/Shanghai"] }
{ "name": "get_current_time", "arguments": { "timezone": "Asia/Shanghai" } }
{ "timezone": "Asia/Shanghai", "datetime": "2024-01-01T20:00:00+08:00", "is_dst": false }
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
- "What time is it now?" (will use system timezone)
- "What time is it in Tokyo?"
- "What time is it in New York?"
- "Get the current time in London"
cd time docker build -f Dockerfile.sse -t mcp-time-sse .
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.
