How do I use MCP Time Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MCP Time Server what time is it in Tokyo?" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

MCP Time Server

Minimal MCP server that returns current time. Timezone configured on client side.

Installation

{ "mcpServers": { "time": { "command": "%APPDATA%\\npm\\mcp-remote.cmd", "args": [ "https://DOMAIN/PATH/sse", "--header", "Authorization:Bearer ${MCP_TIME_TOKEN}", "--header", "X-Timezone:${MCP_TIME_TIMEZONE}" ], "env": { "MCP_TIME_TOKEN": "your-token", "MCP_TIME_TIMEZONE": "Asia/Novokuznetsk" } } } }

Xray + Nginx Setup

When running behind Xray VLESS with ALPN-based fallbacks to nginx, add location block to nginx config (both h2 and http/1.1 server blocks):

location /PATH/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:PORT; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header Connection ''; proxy_buffering off; proxy_cache off; proxy_read_timeout 86400s; send_timeout 86400s; chunked_transfer_encoding off; add_header X-Accel-Buffering no; }

Note: Xray path-based fallbacks only work with HTTP/1.1. For HTTP/2 (ALPN h2), requests go to nginx fallback, so nginx location is required.
