Get current time in a specific timezones

Convert time between timezones

Overview

What is Time?

A Model Context Protocol server that provides time and timezone conversion capabilities. It enables LLMs to get current time information and perform timezone conversions using IANA timezone names, with automatic system timezone detection.

How to use Time?

Install via uvx mcp-server-time, pip install mcp-server-time, or Docker. Configure the server in your MCP client (Claude, Zed, VS Code, Zencoder) using the appropriate command. Use the get_current_time tool with a timezone argument, or the convert_time tool with source timezone, time, and target timezone arguments. Optionally set a custom system timezone with the --local-timezone argument.

Key features of Time

  • Get current time in any IANA timezone.
  • Convert time between two timezones.
  • Automatic system timezone detection.
  • Customizable local timezone via --local-timezone.
  • Compatible with Claude, Zed, VS Code, and Zencoder.
  • Available via uvx, pip, or Docker.

Use cases of Time

  • LLM answering "What time is it now?" (uses system timezone).
  • LLM answering "What time is it in Tokyo?".
  • Converting times for global scheduling ("When 4 PM New York is in London").
  • Checking if daylight saving time is active for a given timezone.
