MCP Simple Timeserver

One of the strange design decisions Anthropic made was depriving Claude of timestamps for messages sent by the user or current time in general. Poor Claude can't tell what time it is! mcp-simple-timeserver is a simple MCP server that fixes that.

This server provides two tools:

  • get_time provides the current local time and timezone information from the user's machine. This way Claude can know what time it is at the user's location. He can also calculate how much time passed since his last interaction with the user should he want to do so.
  • get_utc provides current UTC time obtained from an NTP time server.

Installation

First install the module using:

pip install mcp-simple-timeserver

Then configure in MCP client - the Claude desktop app.

Under Mac OS this will look like this:

"mcpServers": { "simple-timeserver": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "mcp_simple_timeserver"] } }

Under Windows you have to check the path to your Python executable using where python in the cmd (Windows command line).

Typical configuration would look like this:

"mcpServers": { "simple-timeserver": { "command": "C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python311\\python.exe", "args": ["-m", "mcp_simple_timeserver"] } }

GitHub Badge

Glama performs regular codebase and documentation scans to:

  • Confirm that the MCP server is working as expected.
  • Confirm that there are no obvious security issues with dependencies of the server.
  • Extract server characteristics such as tools, resources, prompts, and required parameters.

Our directory badge helps users to quickly asses that the MCP server is safe, server capabilities, and instructions for installing the server.
