Manage and Convert Time Across Timezones

The Time MCP server exposes two tools that enable AI assistants to work with time and timezones. It retrieves the current time in any IANA timezone and converts times between different timezones, returning ISO 8601 formatted datetimes with timezone offset information.

Use this connector when you need to schedule meetings across regions, answer time-sensitive questions about current time in different locations, or convert appointment times between timezones. It's useful for coordinating international teams, planning global events, or building scheduling workflows.

Do NOT use this for date arithmetic (adding days/months), recurring event calculations, or calendar management - it only handles timezone queries and conversions, not date manipulation or scheduling logic.

For get_current_time, you provide an optional IANA timezone name (e.g., "America/New_York", "Europe/London"). The tool returns the current time in that timezone as an ISO 8601 formatted datetime with timezone offset information.

For convert_time, you provide a source timezone, a time in ISO 8601 format, and a target timezone. The tool returns the converted time in the target timezone.

Add to your Claude Code settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-time"]
    }
  }
}

You can optionally specify a local timezone:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-time", "--local-timezone", "America/New_York"]
    }
  }
}

Using uvx (recommended):

uvx mcp-server-time

Using pip:

pip install mcp-server-time

The server can answer questions like "What time is it in Tokyo right now?" or "If it's 3pm in New York, what time is that in London?"

The server uses the IANA timezone database, supporting zones like America/New_York (Eastern Time), America/Los_Angeles (Pacific Time), Europe/London (GMT/BST), Europe/Paris (Central European Time), Asia/Tokyo (Japan Standard Time), Asia/Shanghai (China Standard Time), and Australia/Sydney (Australian Eastern Time).
