Time does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 99.2% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

cities

search_cities

Find cities by name (multilingual, diacritic-insensitive) — useful to resolve a place to a canonical slug, IANA timezone, and coordinates before calling the time tools. Each result includes a source_url linking the city's worldclock.pro page.

convert

convert_time

Given a UTC instant (or a wall time in a source location), return the corresponding local time in each of up to 50 target locations. Results include a source_url linking the matching worldclock.pro page when available.

current

get_current_time

Get the current local time (or the time at a given instant) in one or more locations. Each location is a city name, an IANA timezone / abbreviation, or coordinates. Up to 50 locations. Results include a source_url linking the matching worldclock.pro page when available.

dst

get_dst_transitions

Report whether a location observes daylight saving time, the next clock change, and every summer/winter-time transition (date, local time, and before/after offset) within a year. The result includes a source_url linking the matching worldclock.pro page when available.

time

time_by_coordinates

Resolve the timezone for a latitude/longitude coordinate (via geo-tz) and return the local time there.

Time — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Time do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: convert_time, get_current_time, get_dst_transitions, search_cities, time_by_coordinates. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Time working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 91 checks got a reply (97.8%), average response time 366 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Time?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Time need an API key?

No. Time completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Time?

It answers our handshake in 366 ms on average, which is faster than 37% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Time open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at worldclock.pro, which runs on its operator's own terms.
