@mcpcentral/mcp-time
MCP Time Server provides time-related tools through the Model Context Protocol, offering dual-mode support for both local stdio transport and remote HTTP transport via Cloudflare Workers. It enables LLMs to access date/time functions including current time, relative time calculations, timezone conversions, and calendar operations.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Server explicitly states NO authentication or security measures. Uses HTTPS for transport. Minimal dependencies (dayjs, zod, MCP SDK). No secrets to handle as it's a public service.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You need a simple, authentication-free time service for AI agents or development/testing environments where security is not a concern
Avoid When
Building production systems that require authentication, security, or compliance with data protection regulations
Use Cases
- • Getting current time in different timezones for AI assistants
- • Converting times between timezones in conversational contexts
- • Calculating relative time strings (e.g., '2 hours ago')
- • Determining days in a month for calendar operations
- • Getting Unix timestamps for time-based calculations
- • Retrieving week numbers for date-based scheduling
Not For
- • Production systems requiring authentication
- • Applications needing secure time services
- • High-precision timing requirements
- • Systems requiring audit trails for time operations
Interface
Authentication
No authentication implemented - server explicitly states it has NO authentication or security measures
Pricing
Appears to be completely free with no mentioned limits
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ No authentication means anyone can access the service
- ⚠ No rate limiting mentioned
- ⚠ Timezone names must be valid IANA timezone identifiers
