What does the Time MCP server do?

It provides LLMs with time awareness capabilities, including current time queries, timezone conversions, and date calculations. This allows AI models to understand temporal context and perform time-based operations during conversations.

How do I install and run the Time MCP server?

Install via npm with `npx time-mcp@1.0.6`. It uses stdio transport, so you'll configure it in your MCP client to communicate over standard input/output streams.

What timezone formats does this server support?

The server supports standard timezone identifiers (e.g., America/New_York, Europe/London, Asia/Tokyo). Refer to the IANA timezone database for the complete list of supported zones.

Can I use this server for scheduling or cron-like operations?

The Time MCP server provides time queries and calculations but is not designed for scheduling tasks. It's best used for timezone conversions, date math, and giving LLMs temporal awareness during conversations.

Is there a cost to use the Time MCP server?

The Time MCP server is open-source and free to use. You only pay for the LLM API calls and any hosting infrastructure you run it on.
