Time MCP Server
Expose a real UTC clock to Python-friendly MCP setups so agents stop guessing dates in scripts and docs.
Overview
Time MCP Server (PyPI) is a MCP server for the Build phase that provides the current UTC time in RFC 3339 format via a stdio PyPI package.
What is this MCP server?
- Single tool: current UTC time as RFC 3339 for ISO-compatible strings
- Published on PyPI as time-mcp-pypi v1.1.1 with stdio MCP transport
- Source repository on GitHub (domdomegg/time-mcp-pypi) for inspection and issues
- Pairs with other domdomegg time-mcp builds (NuGet) when teams split runtimes
- No external API keys—local process only
- Version 1.1.1 on PyPI
- Transport: stdio
- GitHub source: github.com/domdomegg/time-mcp-pypi
Community signal: 4 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Without a clock tool, agents hallucinate or reuse stale dates when your workflow needs an authoritative UTC now.
Who is it for?
Python-oriented solo builders wiring MCP servers through pip/uv who want the smallest possible time source for agents.
Skip if: Products that need multi-timezone scheduling, CalDAV, or backend-only time services with no MCP agent.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Registering the PyPI MCP server lets the agent fetch a verified RFC 3339 UTC string on demand during coding tasks.
- On-demand RFC 3339 UTC time from MCP
- Consistent timestamp source across agent-driven coding tasks
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Calendar and agent wiring happens while you build; a tiny time MCP belongs with other integration servers you register before shipping features. PyPI distribution is the natural path for Python-centric agent stacks, so the canonical shelf is build → integrations.
How it compares
PyPI-packaged MCP utility clock, not a cron runner or NTP management layer.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Time MCP Server (PyPI) for?
Developers using MCP agents with Python package workflows who need a dependable UTC timestamp tool without extra cloud accounts.
When should I use Time MCP Server (PyPI)?
During build and agent setup when scripts, tests, or LLM outputs must include today’s UTC time in RFC 3339.
How do I add Time MCP Server (PyPI) to my agent?
Install the time-mcp-pypi package from PyPI, add it to your MCP host config with stdio transport pointing at the server entrypoint, then reload tools in Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex.
