Overview

What is Time-MCP?

Time-MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that enables agents to retrieve the current date and time via two tools, get_datetime and get_current_unix_timestamp. It is designed for agents that need to know the current time in any timezone or the current UNIX timestamp.

How to use Time-MCP?

For Claude Desktop, add the server to claude_desktop_config.json using uv with the path to time_mcp_server.py. For custom clients (or Linux), implement an STDIO‑based client following the official MCP client tutorial and use time_mcp_server.py as the server.

Key features of Time-MCP

Returns current date and time in a specified timezone (defaults to UTC)
Provides the current UNIX timestamp
Lightweight, single‑file Python server
STDIO transport for easy integration
Works with Claude Desktop and custom clients
Requires only Python and uv

Use cases of Time-MCP

Answering “what time is it?” in a given timezone
Calculating time offsets for future weather forecasts
Timestamping agent actions or events
Supporting time‑dependent task scheduling

Frequently asked questions

What tools does Time-MCP provide?

It provides two tools: `get_datetime` returns the current date and time in a specified timezone (UTC if none), and `get_current_unix_timestamp` returns the current UNIX timestamp.

What dependencies does Time-MCP require?

The server requires Python and the `uv` package manager. It is a single Python script.

How do I set up Time-MCP in Claude Desktop?

Add a `"time"` entry to the `mcpServers` section of `claude_desktop_config.json` with the command `uv` and arguments pointing to the `time_mcp_server.py` file. The full path to `uv` may be needed.

What transport does Time-MCP use?

Time-MCP uses STDIO transport, the standard for MCP servers.

Can I use Time-MCP with a custom client?

Yes. Implement an STDIO‑based MCP client (following the official example tutorial) and connect it to `time_mcp_server.py` instead of the example weather server.
