TimeMCP MCP Server

What is TimeMCP?

TimeMCP is a Model Control Protocol (MCP) server that provides current time retrieval and timezone conversion tools. It is built in Go and exposes two tools: get_current_time and convert_time. It is intended for developers using MCP-compatible clients (e.g., Claude Desktop) who need to handle time data across timezones.

How to use TimeMCP?

Build the server from source with go build -o ./bin/mcp-time ., then add it to your MCP client configuration (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) by specifying the path to the binary under mcpServers.time.command. Once connected, the client can discover and call the provided tools with the required arguments.

Key features of TimeMCP

• get_current_time: returns the current time in an optional timezone (defaults to system timezone)
• convert_time: converts a time from one timezone to another
• Supports all IANA time zone database entries (e.g., Europe/Warsaw, America/New_York)
• Lightweight Go implementation with minimal dependencies
• Works with any MCP-compatible client

Use cases of TimeMCP

• Displaying the current time in a specific IANA timezone
• Converting a meeting time from one timezone to another
• Integrating time-aware responses into an AI assistant’s workflow
• Validating and formatting time strings across different regions
