Overview

The Time MCP Server provides language models with direct access to local system time and IANA-standardized timezone conversion utilities. It allows AI assistants to resolve temporal queries and synchronize data points across different geographic regions accurately. The server supports two primary functions: fetching the current time in specific or local timezones, and performing manual conversions between source and target timezones. It is compatible with major AI environments including Claude, Zed, and VS Code, offering installation paths via uv, pip, or Docker.

Our verdict

With a security score of 76/100, this server is rated as medium risk. A significant factor in this rating is the lack of a read-only mode, meaning the server essentially operates with full write access upon installation. While it is maintained by the official Model Context Protocol organization and has zero direct dependencies, users should be aware of the lack of defined authentication methods. It is suitable for general use by those comfortable with its permission profile.

Frequently asked questions

›How do I specify a timezone other than the automatically detected system default?

You can override the automatic system timezone detection by adding the --local-timezone argument to the server's args list in your configuration file.

›What format is required for the time parameter when converting between zones?

The time argument must be provided in a 24-hour HH:MM format.

›What types of timezone identifiers does the server support?

The server uses IANA timezone names, such as America/New_York or Europe/London, for all timezone-related arguments.

›Can I share my configuration with others in a VS Code workspace?

Yes, you can create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your workspace containing the server configuration, which allows you to share the settings with others.
