get_current_timeLABSCO SUMMARY
A model does not know what time it is, and this is the smallest possible fix.
Two calls: the current time in a zone you name or the system's own, and a conversion between a source and a target zone. System timezone detection means “what time is it for me” works with no configuration at all.
What it is
A time and timezone server working from IANA timezone names, with the system's own timezone detected automatically.
What you get
- get_current_time — the current time in an IANA timezone you name, such as America/New_York or Europe/London, or in the system timezone
- convert_time — a time converted from a source IANA timezone to a target one
Requirements
uvx runs it without installing anything; pip installs it as a package instead. No account and no key.
Setup effort
One command — uvx pape-mcp-server-time
USE CASES
01
Working out when a meeting lands for the other person
Convert the proposed time into their zone before you send the invitation.
02
Pinning down what “tomorrow” means
Get the real current time first, so a relative date resolves against the clock rather than the model's guess.
03
Scheduling across a team in several countries
Take the current time in each zone, then convert a candidate slot into all of them.
