MCP Time, developed by Theobrigitte, is an MCP server tool built with Go, designed to provide essential time and date utilities. It functions as a bridge, connecting AI assistants and other Model Context Protocol clients to a backend capable of handling diverse time-related requests. This free tool can be deployed flexibly, including via npx, Docker containers, direct binary installation, or Go's "go install" command, making it accessible for various development environments.

What does MCP Time connect to?

MCP Time by Theobrigitte primarily connects to AI assistants and other clients utilizing the Model Context Protocol. Its core function is to act as an intermediary, linking AI tools with a specialized backend for time and date handling. This server supports both local integrations via "stdio" and network access through "HTTP stream" transport protocols. Confirmed compatible AI clients include Cursor, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code, allowing these platforms to extend their capabilities with precise time-related functions.

Core features and tools

MCP Time exposes specific callable tools designed for time and date operations. The primary tool is current_time, which enables users to retrieve the current time. This tool offers optional parameters for specifying the desired "format" and "timezone", providing flexibility in how time data is presented. Additionally, a commit message indicates the existence of a compare_time tool, suggesting capabilities for comparing different time values. These tools allow AI clients to interact with and process time information effectively.

Who is it for?

The target audience for MCP Time includes AI assistants and other MCP clients. It is particularly valuable for developers who are integrating time and date functionality into their AI tools. This program supports concrete workflows such as retrieving current time in specific timezones, converting times, and interpreting natural language expressions related to dates. Skip this if your application does not involve AI assistants or MCP clients needing time-related services.

How to get started

No credentials are required for MCP Time. Setup primarily involves configuring the MCP client to run the server command, which can utilize "stdio" for local connections or "HTTP stream" for network access.

Use cases

• Retrieving the current time in any specified timezone and format.
• Converting times between different timezones.
• Understanding natural language expressions related to time and dates.

MCP Time by Theobrigitte offers a specialized server for AI assistants and MCP clients needing time and date utilities. Its Go-based architecture and multiple distribution options provide flexibility for developers. The tool enables AI applications to accurately handle time-related queries and conversions, bridging AI capabilities with precise temporal data.
