Overview

What is Time MCP Server by PHP?

A PHP‑based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides current time retrieval and timezone conversion using IANA timezone names. It automatically detects the system timezone and is designed for use by LLMs such as Claude.

How to use Time MCP Server by PHP?

Clone the repository, run composer install, then configure your MCP host (e.g., Claude.app or Zed) to execute php /path/to/bin/time-server. Optionally pass --local-timezone=Zone to override the system timezone.

Frequently asked questions

1

What runtime does it require?

PHP must be installed on the system. Composer is used to install dependencies.

2

Does it store any data?

No. The server only returns live time information based on the server’s clock and timezone data.

3

How does it communicate with the MCP host?

It uses standard I/O (stdio) as the transport layer.

4

Is authentication required?

No authentication is mentioned; the server runs locally on the same machine as the MCP host.

5

Are there any known limitations?

The README does not list any limits, but the tools require valid IANA timezone names and 24‑hour format for time input.
