⏰ Time MCP Server (Apify Actor)

This Actor provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for time and timezone conversion, running on the Apify platform. It enables LLMs and other clients to get current time information and perform timezone conversions using IANA timezone names, with automatic system timezone detection.

Features

• Current time lookup in any IANA timezone
• Timezone conversion between arbitrary IANA timezones
• Automatic system timezone detection (can be overridden)
• Stdio MCP server integration (runs mcp-server-time via uvx)
• Pay Per Event (PPE) billing for each tool call
• Ready for Claude, Zed, VS Code, and other MCP clients

Available Tools

• get_current_time – Get current time in a specific timezone or system timezone - Arguments: timezone (string, IANA name, e.g. 'Europe/London')
• convert_time – Convert time between timezones - Arguments: source_timezone (string), time (string, HH:MM), target_timezone (string)

Usage

Local run

apify run -p

Example Interactions

Get current time:

{
    "name": "get_current_time",
    "arguments": { "timezone": "Europe/Warsaw" }
}

Convert time:

{
    "name": "convert_time",
    "arguments": {
        "source_timezone": "America/New_York",
        "time": "16:30",
        "target_timezone": "Asia/Tokyo"
    }
}

Configuration

By default, the Actor launches mcp-server-time via uvx (recommended). To override the system timezone, set the --local-timezone argument in the command.

For pip installs, adjust the command to python and args to ['-m', 'mcp_server_time'] in both src/main.py and your client config.

Billing (Pay Per Event)

Each tool call is billed per event. See .actor/pay_per_event.json and src/const.py:

{
    "get_current_time": { "price": 0.0005 },
    "convert_time": { "price": 0.0005 }
