MCP Simple Timeserver
One of the strange design decisions Anthropic made was depriving Claude of timestamps for messages sent by the user or current time in general. Poor Claude can't tell what time it is! mcp-simple-timeserver is a simple MCP server that fixes that.
This server provides two tools:
get_local_timeprovides the current local time and timezone information from the user's machine. This way Claude can know what time it is at the user's location. He can also calculate how much time passed since his last interaction with the user should he want to do so.get_utcprovides current UTC time obtained from an NTP time server.
Installation
Installing via Smithery
To install Simple Timeserver for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install mcp-simple-timeserver --client claude
Manual Installation
First install the module using:
pip install mcp-simple-timeserver
Then configure in MCP client - the Claude desktop app.
Under Mac OS this will look like this:
"mcpServers": {
"simple-timeserver": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "mcp_simple_timeserver"]
}
}
Under Windows you have to check the path to your Python executable using where python in the cmd (Windows command line).
Typical configuration would look like this:
"mcpServers": {
"simple-timeserver": {
"command": "C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python311\\python.exe",
"args": ["-m", "mcp_simple_timeserver"]
}
}
Web Server Variant
This project also includes a network-hostable version that can be deployed as a standalone web server. For instructions on how to run and deploy it, please see the Web Server Deployment Guide.
Or you can simply use my server by adding it under https://mcp.andybrandt.net/timeserver to Claude. (It does not work with ChatGPT since it currently works only with MCP servers that implement search() and fetch() tools to serve data in response to LLM's querries).
