Time MCP

Local · stdio

Time MCP is the protocol team's reference server for time handling: the current time in any IANA timezone and conversion between zones. It fixes a common LLM weakness — an inaccurate sense of the current date — with two tools, get_current_time and convert_time. It runs locally over stdio, no authorization needed. PulseMCP ranks it #18 (~5.2M visits).

Why this server

Fixes the model's common mistake with the current date and timezone in a single call
convert_time accounts for daylight saving automatically per IANA rules
Just two tools — get_current_time and convert_time — minimal complexity
PulseMCP ranks it #18 worldwide — a simple server with huge real-world usage

Usage examples

Prompt: What time is it right now in Tokyo and New York?

Result: get_current_time returned the exact time in both IANA zones, with no risk of the model guessing the date wrong.

Prompt: Convert 3pm Moscow time to the start of the workday in San Francisco

Result: convert_time converted the time across zones, accounting for daylight saving — no manual arithmetic needed.

Local server

This MCP runs locally on the user's machine (stdio), so availability isn't tracked — rely on reviews and the rating instead.
