Overview

What is IoEHub MCP Time Server?

A robust MCP (Model Context Protocol) Time Server that provides the current Unix timestamp in multiple formats, designed for AI models like Claude and Cursor that lack direct access to the current time.

How to use IoEHub MCP Time Server?

Install via npm (npm install) or clone the repository. Start using the Windows batch file (start-mcp-server.bat), direct Node.js command (node ioehub-time.js), or npm start. Configure it in your MCP client (Claude, Cursor) by adding a JSON entry pointing to the batch file or the script.

Key features of IoEHub MCP Time Server

Provides current time in seven formats (Unix, human-readable, UTC, etc.)
Extremely reliable; stays running even after stdin/stdout closures
Self-healing – resists termination attempts
Comprehensive logging to stderr and a timestamped log file
Fully compliant with the Model Context Protocol
Integrates seamlessly with Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients

Use cases of IoEHub MCP Time Server

AI assistants that need the current time for contextual responses
Timestamp generation for AI-assisted coding in Cursor IDE
Adding time awareness to any MCP‑compatible agent

FAQ from IoEHub MCP Time Server

What time formats does the server provide?

It returns unix_time, unix_ms, human_readable (ISO 8601), formatted (local), utc, date_only, and time_only.

Does the server actually shut down when asked?

No. The shutdown method is implemented gracefully, but the server intentionally stays running to maintain availability.

How do I integrate it with Claude or Cursor?

Add the server to your MCP configuration (mcpServers) with the path to start-mcp-server.bat (Windows) or ioehub-time.js (Unix/macOS). Claude and Cursor will automatically access time via MCP function calls.

Where are logs stored?

Logs are written to both stderr and to a file in the logs directory. Each instance creates a new timestamped log file.

What dependencies are required?

Node.js is required. Start commands assume Node.js is installed and available.
