A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides current UTC time in RFC 3339 format

Project description

Time MCP Server

A minimal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with Python.

The server provides one simple tool:

  • get_current_utc_time - Gets the current UTC date and time in RFC 3339 format

Quick start

Prerequisites:

  • Python 3.8 or later
  • Claude Desktop or another MCP-compatible client

Install and run with:

pip install time-mcp-pypi  # or from a local clone: pip install -e .
time-mcp-pypi

Configuration

To use this server with Claude Desktop, add the following to your MCP configuration file:

Windows

Add to %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time-server": {
      "command": "time-mcp-pypi"
    }
  }
}

macOS

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time-server": {
      "command": "time-mcp-pypi"
    }
  }
}

Usage

Once configured, you can use the time tool in Claude Desktop:

  • "What's the current UTC time?"
  • "Give me an RFC 3339 timestamp"

Publishing New Versions

To publish a new version of the package:

  1. Update the version in pyproject.toml, and commit as Release x.y.z

  2. Tag the release with a version number prefixed with 'v':

    git tag v1.0.1
    
  3. Push the tag to trigger the publishing pipeline:

    git push --tags
    

Then the CI/CD pipeline will automatically publish the package.

CI/CD

The project includes GitHub Actions workflows for:

  • Build & Test - Builds and tests the Python package
  • Publish - Automatically publishes to PyPI and creates GitHub releases on version tags
