# 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+
- Required arguments:
9+
- `timezone` (string): IANA timezone name (e.g., 'America/New_York', 'Europe/London')
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+

```json
48+
"mcpServers": {
49+
"time": {
50+
"command": "uvx",
51+
"args": ["mcp-server-time"]
52+
}
53+

"command": "python",
64+
"args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time"]
65+
}
66+
}
67+
```
68+
</details>
69+
70+
### Configure for Zed
71+

Add to your Zed settings.json:
73+
74+
<details>
75+
<summary>Using uvx</summary>
76+
77+
```json
78+
"context_servers": [
79+
"mcp-server-time": {
80+
"command": "uvx",
81+
"args": ["mcp-server-time"]
82+
}
83+
],
84+
```
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:
115+
```json
116+
{
117+
"name": "get_current_time",
118+
"arguments": {
119+
"timezone": "Europe/Warsaw"
120+
}
121+
}
122+
```
123+
Response:
124+
```json
125+
{
126+
"timezone": "Europe/Warsaw",
127+
"datetime": "2024-01-01T13:00:00+01:00",
128+
"is_dst": false
129+
}
130+
```
131+
132+
2. Convert time between timezones:
133+
```json
134+
{
135+
"name": "convert_time",
136+
"arguments": {
137+
"source_timezone": "America/New_York",
138+
"time": "16:30",
139+
"target_timezone": "Asia/Tokyo"
140+
}
141+
}
142+
```
143+
Response:
144+
```json
145+
{
146+
"source": {
147+
"timezone": "America/New_York",
148+
"datetime": "2024-01-01T12:30:00-05:00",
149+
"is_dst": false
150+
},
151+
"target": {
152+
"timezone": "Asia/Tokyo",
153+
"datetime": "2024-01-01T12:30:00+09:00",
154+
"is_dst": false
155+
},
156+
"time_difference": "+13.0h",
157+
}
158+
```
159+
160+
## Debugging
161+
162+
You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations:
163+
164+
```bash
165+
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-time
166+
```
167+
168+
Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:
169+
170+
```bash
171+
cd path/to/servers/src/time
172+
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-server-time
173+
```
174+
175+
## Examples of Questions for Claude
176+
177+
1. "What time is it now?" (will use system timezone)
178+
2. "What time is it in Tokyo?"
179+
3. "When it's 4 PM in New York, what time is it in London?"
180+
4. "Convert 9:30 AM Tokyo time to New York time"
181+
182+
