listing.about

Gives an assistant accurate time information. It can return the current time for any IANA timezone name and convert a given time from one timezone to another, including daylight saving status and the hour difference between zones.

It runs locally over stdio, started with uvx mcp-server-time or from the mcp/time Docker image. No sign-in or API key is needed. By default it detects the system timezone, which can be overridden with the --local-timezone argument.

Claude Code

Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

claude mcp add --transport stdio time -- uvx mcp-server-time

Start Claude Code and type /mcp. time should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-time"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.

Needs uv (Python) on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.

Cursor

Add to Cursor a11y.new_tab

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-time"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Needs uv (Python) on your computer.

VS Code

Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"time","type":"stdio","command":"uvx","args":["mcp-server-time"]}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "time": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-time"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Devin Desktop

Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):

mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-time"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.

Codex

codex mcp add time -- uvx mcp-server-time

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml

[mcp_servers.time]
command = "uvx"
args = ["mcp-server-time"]

Needs uv (Python) on your computer.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add time uvx mcp-server-time

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-time"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/time into my MCP client?

No. Time runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is uvx mcp-server-time.

Does Time need an API key?

No. It doesn't declare any keys or environment variables. It runs with your user account's permissions, so check what its tools can reach.

Is Time a remote or a local server?

Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with uvx mcp-server-time, which needs uv (Python).

What can Time do?

You can get the current time in a named IANA timezone, convert a time between two timezones and report daylight saving status for a result.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read Time's public metadata (its package and repository pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
