What does the mcp-epochs server do?

It provides the current Unix timestamp (seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC) through an MCP tool. You can query it to get precise epoch time for logging, calculations, or any time-based operations.

How do I install and run mcp-epochs?

Install it with `uvx mcp-epochs@0.1.0`. The server runs over stdio transport, so it integrates directly with MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop or other AI tools.

Do I need an API key or authentication?

No, mcp-epochs requires no authentication or API keys. It simply returns the system's current Unix timestamp when called.

What timezone does the Unix timestamp use?

Unix timestamps are always in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The epoch is defined as January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC, so all timestamps are timezone-agnostic.

Can I use this for high-precision timing or millisecond accuracy?

This server provides Unix timestamps in seconds. If you need millisecond or microsecond precision, you may need to check the tool's output format or use a different time source alongside it.
