It exposes two main tools: get_current_time retrieves the current moment in any IANA timezone (or the system timezone by default), and convert_time translates a given time from one timezone to another. The server runs as a subprocess and communicates with MCP-compatible clients like Claude, Zed, or VS Code, allowing language models to answer time-aware questions without hardcoding temporal logic.\n\nThe package depends on mcp (the protocol library), pydantic (for data validation), tzdata (IANA timezone database), and tzlocal (system timezone detection). It's designed to be lightweight and stateless\u2014each query is independent. Configuration is straightforward: you point your client to run it as a command, optionally overriding the detected system timezone via a --local-timezone flag.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building an LLM application with Claude, Zed, or VS Code and need your model to reliably query or convert times. The package is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and installs with minimal friction. It solves a real gap\u2014LLMs cannot reliably reason about current time or timezone math without external tools. Install it only if you have an MCP-compatible client to configure it in; standalone it is not useful."},"id":"mcp-server-time","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mcp-server-time","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mcp-server-time.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mcp-server-time/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mcp-server-time","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Model Context Protocol server providing tools for time queries and timezone conversions for LLMs"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":454562,"position":6567,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2026.7.10"}
