You run a lightweight MCP server in Python that exposes a single tool to retrieve the current UTC time in RFC 3339 format. It’s designed to be simple to install and easy to integrate with MCP clients for precise time queries.

How to use

Once you have the Time MCP Server running, you can ask your MCP client for the current UTC time in RFC 3339 format. Use natural language prompts like “What’s the current UTC time?” or “Give me an RFC 3339 timestamp.” The tool responds with the exact UTC timestamp suitable for logging, synchronization, or time-stamping events within your workflows.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Python 3.8 or later.

Install and run the server with these commands.

pip install time-mcp-pypi  # or from a local clone: pip install -e .
time-mcp-pypi

Configuration

Configure the MCP client to connect to the Time MCP Server. Use the following examples to wire up the server in your MCP client configuration.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time-server": {
      "command": "time-mcp-pypi"
    }
  }
}
