Time Mcp
Give agents a trustworthy current time and timezone signal for logs, cron explanations, and dated filenames.
Overview
io.github.KatoMato65/time-mcp is a Build-phase MCP server that tells coding agents the current time over a simple stdio tool.
What is this MCP server?
- Minimal MCP server focused solely on telling the time
- Helps agents ground scheduling, logging, and TTL logic
- npm @katomato65/time-mcp with stdio transport
- Beginner-friendly single-purpose tool with fast setup
- Version 1.0.3 described (npm package lists 1.0.2 in packages array)
- Single-purpose time server
What problem does it solve?
Models hallucinate dates and timezones when generating scripts, tests, or log entries without a live clock source.
Who is it for?
Anyone wiring a minimal MCP stack who wants correct “now” in agent-generated code and ops snippets.
Skip if: Production monitoring, distributed tracing, or rich calendar scheduling integrations.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After install, agents can call a dedicated time tool so timestamps and scheduling snippets align with the host clock.
- Agent-accessible current time from the host
- More accurate time-based code and log snippets
- Minimal dependency footprint in your MCP config
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Even lightweight utility MCP servers belong in build when they harden agent behavior during development and scripting. Agent-tooling captures small protocol adapters that prevent models from guessing timestamps during coding tasks.
How it compares
Single-purpose clock MCP adapter, not a monitoring platform or workflow methodology skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.KatoMato65/time-mcp for?
It is for developers using AI agents who need a reliable current-time tool instead of trusting the model’s internal date guess.
When should I use io.github.KatoMato65/time-mcp?
Use it when generating time-sensitive code, explaining cron schedules, or stamping artifacts during local development sessions.
How do I add io.github.KatoMato65/time-mcp to my agent?
Install @katomato65/time-mcp from npm, register the stdio MCP server in your client config, restart the client, and verify the time tool appears in the tool list.
