A simple MCP server that exposes datetime information to agentic systems and chat REPLs
The server implements a simple datetime:// URI scheme for accessing the current date/time in a given timezone, for example:
datetime://Africa/Freetown/now
datetime://Europe/London/now
datetime://America/New_York/nowThe server exposes a tool to get the current local time in the system timezone:
>>> get_current_time()
"The current time is 2024-12-18 19:59:36"Related MCP server: DateTime MCP Server
use the following json
{
"mcpServers": {
"MCP-timeserver": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["MCP-timeserver"]
}
}
}Get the current time in the configured local timezone

Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or misselection. The tool's purpose is clear and distinct.
The single tool follows a standard verb_noun pattern (get-current-time), which is consistent and predictable.
At just one tool, the server feels minimal and borderline thin for a typical toolbox. However, the narrow scope of a timeserver makes this count acceptable, if not ideal.
The tool fully covers the domain of retrieving the current time as per its description. There are no obvious missing operations for a server of this intended purpose.
