# Simple Timeserver

> Use this tool when you need to access current time information in AI-powered conversations and tasks, such as retrieving local time and timezone data or obtaining UTC time from an NTP server. It solves problems related to time-aware interactions, scheduling assistance, and time-based computations, addressing the limitation of AI models lacking inherent time awareness. The Simple Timeserver takes no explicit inputs and outputs time data, making it a useful integration for AI assistants like Claude in various contexts requiring temporal context.

## Description

This MCP server, developed by Andy Brandt, provides AI assistants like Claude with the ability to access current time information. It offers two key tools: get_time for retrieving local time and timezone data from the user's machine, and get_utc for obtaining UTC time from an NTP server. By bridging AI capabilities with accurate timekeeping, this implementation enables time-aware interactions and calculations. The server is designed for easy integration with the Claude desktop app on both macOS and Windows. It addresses the limitation of AI models lacking inherent time awareness, making it useful for scenarios requiring temporal context, scheduling assistance, or time-based computations in AI-powered conversations and tasks.
