chronosync-mcp

Timezone converter, world clock, date math & meeting scheduler MCP server for AI agents — free, no API key, IANA/DST-accurate.

A remote Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents everything they can't compute on their own about time: the current time anywhere, timezone conversion (ISO or natural language), DST-aware date arithmetic, and cross-timezone meeting scheduling. Runs on Cloudflare Workers for low global latency, or locally as an npm binary.

Keywords: timezone · mcp · world clock · date math · meeting scheduler · DST · IANA · timezone converter

Why chronosync

• 🆓 Free & keyless — no account, no API key, no per-call billing.

• 🌍 IANA / DST accurate — correct across daylight-saving boundaries and fractional offsets (India +05:30, Nepal +05:45, Chatham +12:45).

• 🗣️ Natural language — "next Tuesday 3pm" works as well as ISO 8601.

• 🧭 No identifiers required — lookup_timezone("Delhi") → Asia/Kolkata.

• 🤝 Meeting scheduler — overlapping working-hour slots across zones, skipping weekends and public holidays.

• ⚡ Global edge — deployed on Cloudflare Workers.

Install

Remote server (recommended — nothing to install)

Point your MCP client at the hosted endpoint:

https://chronosync-mcp.jmavid.workers.dev/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf (claude_desktop_config.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or Windsurf mcp_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chronosync": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://chronosync-mcp.jmavid.workers.dev/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Clients with native remote support can add the URL directly (Streamable HTTP). A legacy SSE endpoint is available at /sse.

Local server (npm / stdio)

npx @jmavid/chronosync-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chronosync": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@jmavid/chronosync-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Development

npm install --legacy-peer-deps
npm test          # unit tests (DST + fractional offsets + scheduler)
npm run dev       # local Worker at http://localhost:8787/mcp
npm run deploy    # deploy to Cloudflare
npm run build     # bundle the stdio binary to dist/

Built on Intl.DateTimeFormat + countries-and-timezones (IANA data) and chrono-node (natural language). Public holidays via the free Nager.Date API. No native binaries.
