時間 MCP 伺服器

概述 時間 MCP 伺服器是一個模型上下文協議伺服器，提供時間和時區轉換功能。它使大型語言模型（LLMs）能夠檢索當前時間信息並使用 IANA 時區名稱進行時區轉換，並自動檢測系統時區。

如何使用時間 MCP 伺服器

1. 安裝：
   • 通過 pip 安裝：pip install time-mcp-server
   • 或者，使用 uvx 直接執行：uvx time-mcp-server
2. 配置：
   • 在您的 Claude 或 Zed 設定中配置伺服器以啟用集成。
3. 可用工具：
   • get_current_time：獲取指定時區的當前時間。
   • convert_time：在不同時區之間轉換時間。

主要特點

• 提供任何 IANA 時區的當前時間信息。
• 在不同時區之間轉換時間。
• 自動檢測系統時區，並可選擇覆蓋。
• 通過配置設置輕鬆與 Claude 和 Zed 集成。

使用案例

• 獲取特定時區的當前時間以回應用戶查詢。
• 在時區之間轉換時間以便於排程和協調。
• 自動化應用程序和服務中的時間相關查詢。

常見問題 #時間 MCP 伺服器能處理所有 IANA 時區嗎？ 是的，時間 MCP 伺服器支持所有 IANA 時區的時間和時區轉換。

#時間 MCP 伺服器是免費使用的嗎？ 是的，時間 MCP 伺服器是開源的，根據 MIT 許可證免費使用。

#時間 MCP 伺服器提供的時間準確嗎？ 時間 MCP 伺服器提供的時間非常準確，依賴於系統時間和 IANA 時區數據以確保精確性。

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.

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

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

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

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

</details>

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 .
