IoEHub MCP Time Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  An authoritative current Unix timestamp (seconds or milliseconds) when the agent runtime has no native clock access.

• 2

  Multiple human- and machine-friendly time representations (ISO, formatted, UTC, date-only, time-only) for logging, message generation, or scheduling decisions.

• 3

  MCP-compatible time integration with platforms like Claude or Cursor IDE to automatically obtain time during model context initialization.

Description

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) time server that answers initialize, getTime, and shutdown requests and returns time in multiple formats (unix seconds, unix ms, ISO, formatted, UTC, date-only, time-only). It is designed for extreme reliability and self-healing (continues running when stdio is closed and resists termination attempts) and includes comprehensive logging to stderr and timestamped log files. The server is intended for easy integration with AI platforms like Claude and tools such as Cursor IDE via MCP configuration.
