Sleep Mcp Server is an MCP server that provides a simple sleep tool for LLMs to wait for specified durations, such as waiting for an API response or for new data to become available.
Configure the server in your MCP client settings using the command npx -y sleep-mcp. The server offers a single tool sleep that takes a number of seconds as argument.
sleep with configurable seconds.It pauses the MCP server’s execution for a specified number of seconds, allowing an LLM to wait for external events.
The server requires Node.js and is run via `npx` (npm). It has no other external dependencies.
It is started through your MCP client configuration using the `npx -y sleep-mcp` command, with no additional configuration keys needed.
No authentication is mentioned, and it uses standard MCP transport (stdio) by default.
The README does not specify a maximum or minimum sleep duration; it accepts any number of seconds.
