Overview

Current Time UTC MCP Server

This MCP service returns current UTC time and converts timestamps between IANA timezones, including bulk conversion, over a hosted, schema-defined endpoint. Use it whenever an AI needs an accurate current time or timezone conversion rather than relying on its own time sense. This repo is schema/docs only - the backend runs as a hosted service.

What it does

CurrentTimeUTC MCP Server provides accurate UTC time and timezone conversion as a hosted MCP service, giving AI applications a standardized way to fetch current time data and convert between timezones using IANA timezone identifiers. It offers millisecond-precision UTC time, single or bulk timestamp conversion in one request, and a timezone listing endpoint, all optimized for low latency.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use this when an AI assistant needs a reliable, standardized time source - getting the current UTC time, converting a timestamp from one IANA timezone to another, or converting many timestamps in a single bulk request - instead of relying on a model's own (often inaccurate) sense of the current time. This is a hosted service reached at https://a.currenttimeutc.com/mcp, so it depends on that endpoint's availability rather than running locally. Note that this specific repository contains only the MCP schema and documentation, not the backend implementation - for service issues or backend questions, you'd need to contact the service maintainers directly rather than debug from this repo's code.

Capabilities

  • Get current UTC time: GET https://a.currenttimeutc.com/mcp/time/utc
  • Convert time between timezones: GET https://a.currenttimeutc.com/mcp/time/convert?from_tz=America/New_York&to_tz=Europe/London&time=2024-01-15:14:30:00
  • List available IANA timezones: GET https://a.currenttimeutc.com/mcp/time/zones
  • Bulk conversion of multiple timestamps in a single request

Current schema version is v1.0.0 (October 2024 initial release), covering basic UTC retrieval, single timezone conversion, timezone listing, and error handling/validation.

How to install

This is a hosted MCP service - point your MCP client at the base URL and schema:

  • Base URL: https://a.currenttimeutc.com/mcp
  • Schema URL: https://a.currenttimeutc.com/mcp/schema
  • Documentation: https://currenttimeutc.com/mcp

Example direct request:

curl -X GET https://a.currenttimeutc.com/mcp/time/utc -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'

Who it's for

Developers building AI applications that need accurate, standardized UTC time and timezone conversion - scheduling assistants, log correlation across timezones, or any workflow where the model's own time sense isn't reliable enough. Licensed MIT.
