Overview

MCP-timeserver is a simple MCP server that provides datetime information to agentic systems and chat REPLs. It implements a datetime:// URI scheme for accessing the current date/time in a specified timezone. For example, users can query the server with URIs like datetime://Africa/Freetown/now or datetime://Europe/London/now to get the current time in those timezones. The server also offers a tool called get_current_time() that returns the current local time in the system timezone. The tool can be used directly, for instance, by executing get_current_time() to get a response like "The current time is 2024-12-18 19:59:36". MCP-timeserver is written in Python and is licensed under the MIT license.

Can I get the local system time without specifying a timezone?
