Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@clockportwhat time is it in Tokyo right now?"
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.
clockport
clockport tells you what time it is somewhere else, and what a given clock time in one place corresponds to in another. It answers two questions — "what time is it in Tokyo right now?" and "my call is at 12:00 New York time, what is that in London?" — from the command line or as an MCP server for agents.
All zone handling uses the IANA timezone database behind Node's Intl
support, so daylight-saving changes are handled by the platform rather
than by a fixed offset table.
Install
npx @reneturcios/clockport now Europe/LondonOr run the container image:
docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/clockportThe container defaults to the MCP server (see below). Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead.

CLI
# Current time in a zone
clockport now America/New_York
# 2026-01-15 07:00:00 (America/New_York, 2026-01-15T07:00:00-05:00)
# Convert a time between zones
clockport convert America/New_York 12:00 Europe/London
# 2026-10-26 12:00 America/New_York -> 2026-10-26 17:00 Europe/London (+5h)
# Machine-readable output
clockport now Asia/Tokyo --json
clockport convert UTC 09:30 Asia/Kolkata --json
clockport --versionExit codes: 0 on success, 1 when a zone or time cannot be handled
(the error names the problem), 2 for usage errors.
MCP server
One bin serves both faces. The mcp subcommand starts a stdio MCP
server:
npx -y @reneturcios/clockport mcpMCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"clockport": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/clockport", "mcp"]
}
}
}Tools
Tool | Input | What it returns |
|
| The current time in that zone: wall-clock rendering, ISO 8601 form with offset, weekday, UTC offset in minutes, and whether DST is in effect. |
|
| The requested time rendered in the target zone, with the target date (which may differ from the source date), an ISO 8601 form, and the signed offset difference. |
Unknown timezone names and times that are not valid HH:MM values are
reported as tool errors rather than guessed at.
Reference date for conversions
convert_time takes a time of day but no date. Conversions therefore
use today's date — the current calendar date in the source zone —
as the reference date. This matters around daylight-saving transitions,
where the offset difference between two zones can change from one week
to the next; the result always reflects the difference in force today.
The reference date used is included in every conversion result.
Development
npm install
npm run build # tsc -> dist/
npm test # node test runner over test/*.test.ts, no network
npm run dev # run the CLI from source via tsxLicense
