# Time MCP Server
2+
3+
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.
4+
5+
### Available Tools
6+
7+
- `get_current_time` - Get current time in a specific timezone or system timezone.
8+
- Optional argument: `timezone` (string): IANA timezone name (e.g., 'America/New_York', 'Europe/London')
9+
- If timezone is not provided, returns time in system timezone
10+
11+
- `convert_time` - Convert time between timezones.
12+
- Required arguments:
13+
- `source_timezone` (string): Source IANA timezone name
14+
- `time` (string): Time in 24-hour format (HH:MM)
15+
- `target_timezone` (string): Target IANA timezone name
16+
17+
## Installation
18+
19+
### Using uv (recommended)
20+
21+
When using [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) no specific installation is needed. We will
22+
use [`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) to directly run *mcp-server-time*.
23+
24+
### Using PIP
25+
26+
Alternatively you can install `mcp-server-time` via pip:
27+
28+
```bash
29+
pip install mcp-server-time
30+
```
31+
32+
After installation, you can run it as a script using:
33+
34+
```bash
35+
python -m mcp_server_time
36+
```
37+
38+
## Configuration
39+
40+
### Configure for Claude.app
41+
42+

47+
```json
48+
"mcpServers": {
49+

50+
"command": "uvx",
51+
"args": ["mcp-server-time"]
52+
}
53+
}

65+
}
66+
}
67+

"mcp-server-time": {
80+
"command": "uvx",
81+
"args": ["mcp-server-time"]
82+

85+
</details>
86+
87+
<details>
88+
<summary>Using pip installation</summary>
89+
90+
```json
91+
"context_servers": {
92+
"mcp-server-time": {
93+
"command": "python",
94+
"args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time"]
95+
}
96+
},
97+
```
98+
</details>
99+
100+
### Customization - System Timezone
101+
102+
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.
103+
104+
Example:
105+
```json
106+
{
107+
"command": "python",
108+
"args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time", "--local-timezone=America/New_York"]
109+
}
110+
```
111+
112+
## Example Interactions
113+
114+
1. Get current time (using system timezone):
115+
```json
116+
{
117+
"name": "get_current_time",
118+
"arguments": {}
119+
}
120+
```
121+
Response:
122+
```json
123+
{
124+
"timezone": "Europe/London",
125+
"time": "14:30 BST",
126+
"date": "2024-11-25",
127+
"full_datetime": "2024-11-25 14:30:00 BST",
128+
"is_dst": true
129+
}
130+
```
131+
132+
2. Get current time in specific timezone:
133+
```json
134+
{
135+
"name": "get_current_time",
136+
"arguments": {
137+
"timezone": "America/New_York"
138+
}
139+
}
140+
```
141+
Response:
142+
```json
143+
{
144+
"timezone": "America/New_York",
145+
"time": "09:30 EDT",
146+
"date": "2024-11-25",
147+
"full_datetime": "2024-11-25 09:30:00 EDT",
148+
"is_dst": true
149+
}
150+
```
151+
152+
3. Convert time between timezones:
153+
```json
154+
{
155+
"name": "convert_time",
156+
"arguments": {
157+
"source_timezone": "America/New_York",
158+
"time": "16:30",
159+
"target_timezone": "Asia/Tokyo"
160+
}
161+
}
162+
```
163+
Response:
164+
```json
165+
{
166+
"source": {
167+
"timezone": "America/New_York",
168+
"time": "16:30 EDT",
169+
"date": "2024-11-25"
170+
},
171+
"target": {
172+
"timezone": "Asia/Tokyo",
173+
"time": "05:30 JST",
174+
"date": "2024-11-26"
175+
},
176+
"time_difference": "+13.0h",
177+
"date_changed": true,
178+
"day_relation": "next day"
179+
}
180+
```
181+
182+
## Tips for Using IANA Timezone Names
183+
184+
Common timezone formats:
185+
- North America: `America/New_York`, `America/Los_Angeles`, `America/Chicago`
186+
- Europe: `Europe/London`, `Europe/Paris`, `Europe/Berlin`
187+
- Asia: `Asia/Tokyo`, `Asia/Shanghai`, `Asia/Dubai`
188+
- Pacific: `Pacific/Auckland`, `Pacific/Honolulu`
189+
- Australia: `Australia/Sydney`, `Australia/Melbourne`
190+
191+
The server will automatically detect and use your system timezone if no specific timezone is provided.
192+
193+
## Debugging
194+
195+
You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations:
196+
197+
```bash
198+
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-time
199+
```
200+
201+
Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:
202+
203+
```bash
204+
cd path/to/servers/src/time
205+
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-server-time
206+
```
207+
208+
## Examples of Questions for Claude
209+
210+
1. "What time is it now?" (will use system timezone)
211+
2. "What time is it in Tokyo?"
212+
3. "When it's 4 PM in New York, what time is it in London?"
213+
4. "Convert 9:30 AM Tokyo time to New York time"
214+
215+
