Summary

The one fact a model never has.

A model has no clock, so what time it is somewhere and when a meeting lands for you are questions it cannot answer from training. This supplies both in IANA names, and assumes the system timezone when you leave it out.

What it is

A small server providing current time and timezone conversion using IANA timezone names, with the system timezone detected automatically when you do not name one.

What you get

The current time in a timezone you name, or in the system's own (get_current_time)
A time in 24-hour HH:MM converted between a source and a target timezone (convert_time)
IANA names throughout — America/New_York, Europe/London — rather than ambiguous abbreviations
Runs through uvx with no install step, from a pip install, or from the mcp/time Docker image
Config snippets for Claude, Zed and VS Code in the README

Requirements

Uv, which lets uvx run it directly with nothing installed — or pip, or Docker. No account and no key.

Setup effort

One command — pip install mcp-server-time
