DateTime MCP Server

A simple MCP server that provides timezone-aware date and time information.

Tools

  • get_current_date(include_weekday=False) - Returns current date in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) with optional weekday
  • get_current_time() - Returns current time in configured format

Configuration

Set these environment variables (for stdio) or headers (for HTTP):

  • DEFAULT_TZ - Timezone identifier (e.g., "America/New_York", "Europe/London", "UTC")
  • TIMEFMT - Time format: "12" for 12-hour (2:30 PM) or "24" for 24-hour (14:30)

Fallbacks

  • Invalid timezone → defaults to UTC
  • TIMEFMT not "12" → defaults to 24-hour format

Usage Examples

STDIO (default)

{ "date-time-mcp": { "command": "uv", "args": ["run", "python", "server.py"], "env": { "DEFAULT_TZ": "America/New_York", "TIMEFMT": "12" } } }

HTTP Server

{ "date-time-mcp": { "url": "http://localhost:8855", "headers": { "DEFAULT_TZ": "America/New_York", "TIMEFMT": "24" } } }
