Time MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol server that provides time and timezone conversion capabilities. This server enables LLMs to get current time information and perform timezone conversions using IANA timezone names, with automatic system timezone detection.
Available Tools
get_current_time
- Get current time in a specific timezone or system timezone.- Required arguments:
timezone
(string): IANA timezone name (e.g., 'America/New_York', 'Europe/London')
- Required arguments:
convert_time
- Convert time between timezones.- Required arguments:
source_timezone
(string): Source IANA timezone nametime
(string): Time in 24-hour format (HH:MM)target_timezone
(string): Target IANA timezone name
- Required arguments:
Installation
Using uv (recommended)
When using uv
no specific installation is needed. We will
use uvx
to directly run mcp-server-time.
Using PIP
Alternatively you can install time-mcp-local
via pip:
After installation, you can run it as a script using:
Configuration
Configure for Claude.app
Add to your Claude settings:
Configure for Zed
Add to your Zed settings.json:
Customization - System Timezone
By default, the server automatically detects your system's timezone. You can override this by adding the argument --local-timezone
to the args
list in the configuration.

Debugging
You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations:
Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:
Examples of Questions for Claude
- "What time is it now?" (will use system timezone)
- "What time is it in Tokyo?"
- "When it's 4 PM in New York, what time is it in London?"
- "Convert 9:30 AM Tokyo time to New York time"
build
You must be authenticated.
local-only server
The server can only run on the client's local machine because it depends on local resources.
