MCP Simple Timeserver
One of the strange design decisions Anthropic made was depriving Claude of timestamps for messages sent by the user in claude.ai 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.
Available Tools
This server provides the following tools:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_local_time |
Returns the current local time, day of week, and timezone from the user's machine |
get_utc |
Returns accurate UTC time from an NTP time server |
get_current_time |
Returns current time with optional location, timezone, and calendar conversions |
calculate_time_distance |
Calculates duration between two dates/times (countdowns, elapsed time) |
get_holidays |
Returns public holidays (and optionally school holidays) for a country |
is_holiday |
Checks if a specific date is a holiday in a given country or city |
All tools (except get_local_time) use accurate time from NTP servers. If NTP is unavailable, they gracefully fall back to local server time with a notice.
