time-server-mcp
time-server-mcp is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server package intended to provide time-related capabilities to AI agents/tools.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
No security implementation details were provided. MCP deployments vary: if exposed over a network transport, ensure TLS and access controls. Because this is time-related, data sensitivity is low, but uptime/auth hardening still matters to prevent misuse or denial of service.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You want a lightweight, agent-integrated way to access current time or time computations from within an MCP-enabled agent.
Avoid When
You need durable, audited timekeeping, strict SLA time synchronization, or a fully specified public API contract beyond MCP.
Use Cases
- • Have an agent fetch or reason about current time in a consistent way
- • Time-based workflows (scheduling assistance, time conversion, deadline checks)
- • Testing agent behaviors that depend on “now”
Not For
- • Producing authoritative legal/financial timekeeping without a trusted time source
- • High-stakes time synchronization/chronology guarantees across distributed systems
- • Acting as a general-purpose time-series database
Interface
Authentication
No authentication details were provided in the supplied data; MCP servers may be deployed locally or behind an agent host with external access controls.

Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Agents may assume time is stable across retries; ensure the tool returns consistent semantics (e.g., UTC).
- ⚠ If the MCP server runs locally, agents may fail when deployed remotely due to networking/transport configuration.
- ⚠ If tool outputs lack explicit timezone/format fields, agents can misinterpret results.
