# Time Zone

> Use this tool when you need to retrieve accurate and timezone-aware date and time information in ISO format. It solves problems related to scheduling across timezones, handling timezone conversions, and providing current time data for applications operating in different regions. The tool takes an optional IANA timezone input and returns the current time in the specified timezone, defaulting to UTC if none is provided.

## Description

Time MCP server provides real-time timezone-aware date and time information through a simple interface. Built with Python's zoneinfo module and the FastMCP framework, it exposes a single tool that returns the current time in any IANA timezone (defaulting to UTC if none is specified). The implementation handles timezone conversion and returns responses in ISO format, making it particularly useful for applications requiring accurate time information across different regions, scheduling across timezones, or any workflow where Claude needs access to properly formatted current time data without requiring external lookups.
