About Time Server

What is Time Server: Precision Time Sync & Zero-Drift Accuracy?

Time Server is a high-precision time synchronization service built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standards. It enables seamless timezone conversions, real-time clock synchronization, and error-free time operations across distributed systems. Leveraging Python 3.10+, this server ensures type-safe execution and zero-drift accuracy, making it ideal for mission-critical applications requiring strict temporal consistency.

How to Use Time Server: Precision Time Sync & Zero-Drift Accuracy?

Installation

For Claude Desktop users:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @clssck/mcp-time-server --client claude

Manual setup:

pip install .

Getting Started

Launch the server with:

python -m time_server

Interact via RESTful endpoints to retrieve current time or convert timestamps between any IANA-supported timezones.

  • Real-time applications with strict latency requirements

Time Server FAQ

FAQ: Precision Time Sync & Zero-Drift Accuracy?

Q: Does the server require internet connectivity?

A: For initial synchronization yes, but operates offline maintaining drift-corrected time using local algorithms

Q: How is zero-drift maintained?

A: Combines hardware clock polling with adaptive error correction based on historical drift patterns

Q: Can I customize timezone databases?

A: Yes, supports custom IANA timezone overrides through configuration files
