Zeit MCP Server

Übersicht Der Zeit MCP Server ist ein Model Context Protocol-Server, der Zeit- und Zeitzonen-Konvertierungsfunktionen bereitstellt. Er ermöglicht es großen Sprachmodellen (LLMs), aktuelle Zeitinformationen abzurufen und Zeitzonen-Konvertierungen unter Verwendung von IANA-Zeitzonennamen durchzuführen, mit automatischer Erkennung der Systemzeitzone.

Verwendung des Zeit MCP Servers

1. Installation:
   • Installieren Sie über pip: pip install time-mcp-server
   • Alternativ können Sie uvx für die direkte Ausführung verwenden: uvx time-mcp-server
2. Konfiguration:
   • Konfigurieren Sie den Server in Ihren Claude- oder Zed-Einstellungen, um die Integration zu aktivieren.
3. Verfügbare Werkzeuge:
   • get_current_time: Ruft die aktuelle Zeit in einer angegebenen Zeitzone ab.
   • convert_time: Konvertiert Zeit zwischen verschiedenen Zeitzonen.

Hauptmerkmale

• Bietet aktuelle Zeitinformationen in jeder IANA-Zeitzone.
• Konvertiert Zeit zwischen verschiedenen Zeitzonen.
• Automatische Erkennung der Systemzeitzone mit der Option zur Überschreibung.
• Einfache Integration mit Claude und Zed über die Konfigurationseinstellungen.

Anwendungsfälle

• Abrufen der aktuellen Zeit in einer bestimmten Zeitzone für Benutzeranfragen.
• Konvertieren von Zeit zwischen Zeitzonen für Planung und Koordination.
• Automatisierung zeitbezogener Anfragen in Anwendungen und Diensten.

FAQ #Kann der Zeit MCP Server alle IANA-Zeitzonen verarbeiten? Ja, der Zeit MCP Server unterstützt alle IANA-Zeitzonen für Zeit- und Zeitzonen-Konvertierungen.

#Ist der Zeit MCP Server kostenlos zu verwenden? Ja, der Zeit MCP Server ist Open Source und kostenlos unter der MIT-Lizenz zu verwenden.

#Wie genau ist die vom Zeit MCP Server bereitgestellte Zeit? Die vom Zeit MCP Server bereitgestellte Zeit ist sehr genau und basiert auf der Systemzeit und den IANA-Zeitzonendaten für Präzision.

Time MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that provides time and timezone conversion capabilities. This server enables LLMs to get current time information and perform timezone conversions using IANA timezone names, with automatic system timezone detection.

Available Tools

• get_current_time - Get current time in a specific timezone or system timezone.

  • Required arguments:
    • timezone (string): IANA timezone name (e.g., 'America/New_York', 'Europe/London')

• convert_time - Convert time between timezones.

  • Required arguments:
    • source_timezone (string): Source IANA timezone name
    • time (string): Time in 24-hour format (HH:MM)
    • target_timezone (string): Target IANA timezone name

Installation

Using uv (recommended)

When using uv no specific installation is needed. We will use uvx to directly run mcp-server-time.

Using PIP

Alternatively you can install mcp-server-time via pip:

pip install mcp-server-time

After installation, you can run it as a script using:

python -m mcp_server_time

Configuration

Configure for Claude.app

Add to your Claude settings:

<details> <summary>Using uvx</summary>

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

</details> <details> <summary>Using docker</summary>

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp/time"]
    }
  }
}

</details> <details> <summary>Using pip installation</summary>

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time"]
    }
  }
}

</details>

Configure for Zed

Add to your Zed settings.json:

<details> <summary>Using uvx</summary>

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

</details> <details> <summary>Using pip installation</summary>

"context_servers": {
  "mcp-server-time": {
    "command": "python",
    "args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time"]
  }
},

</details>

Configure for VS Code

For quick installation, use one of the one-click install buttons below...

For manual installation, add the following JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file in VS Code. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P and typing Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON).

Optionally, you can add it to a file called .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.

Note that the mcp key is needed when using the mcp.json file.

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

</details> <details> <summary>Using Docker</summary>

      }
    }
  }
}

Customization - System Timezone

By default, the server automatically detects your system's timezone. You can override this by adding the argument --local-timezone to the args list in the configuration.

Example:

{
  "command": "python",
  "args": ["-m", "mcp_server_time", "--local-timezone=America/New_York"]
}

Example Interactions

1. Get current time:

{
  "name": "get_current_time",
  "arguments": {
    "timezone": "Europe/Warsaw"
  }
}

Response:

{
  "timezone": "Europe/Warsaw",
  "datetime": "2024-01-01T13:00:00+01:00",
  "is_dst": false
}

2. Convert time between timezones:

{
  "name": "convert_time",
  "arguments": {
    "source_timezone": "America/New_York",
    "time": "16:30",
    "target_timezone": "Asia/Tokyo"
  }
}

Response:

{
  "source": {
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "datetime": "2024-01-01T12:30:00-05:00",
    "is_dst": false
  },
  "target": {
    "timezone": "Asia/Tokyo",
    "datetime": "2024-01-01T12:30:00+09:00",
    "is_dst": false
  },
  "time_difference": "+13.0h",
}

Debugging

You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-time

Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:

cd path/to/servers/src/time
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-server-time

Examples of Questions for Claude

1. "What time is it now?" (will use system timezone)
2. "What time is it in Tokyo?"
3. "When it's 4 PM in New York, what time is it in London?"
4. "Convert 9:30 AM Tokyo time to New York time"

Build

Docker build:

cd src/time
docker build -t mcp/time .
