Current Time Timezone Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides accurate time information with timezone support and NTP synchronization.

Features

• Accurate Time: NTP-synchronized time from configurable NTP servers
• Timezone Support: Local time for any specified timezone
• Unix Timestamp: Unix timestamp in seconds
• Dual Protocol: Supports both Streamable HTTP and Server-Sent Events (SSE) protocols
• Real-time Updates: SSE endpoint provides real-time time updates via streaming
• Docker Ready: Complete Docker support with health checks

Installation

NPM

npm install -g current-time-timezone-server

Docker

# 直接运行
docker run -p 3000:3000 current-time-timezone-server:latest

# 使用docker-compose
docker-compose up -d

Usage

MCP Server Configuration

Streamable HTTP方式 (推荐)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "current-time-http": {
      "protocol": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

SSE方式

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "current-time-sse": {
      "protocol": "sse",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
    }
  }
}

Docker方式

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "current-time": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-p", "3000:3000", "current-time-timezone-server:latest"]
    }
  }
}

Stdio方式

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "current-time": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["current-time-timezone-server-stdio"],
      "env": {
        "NTP_SERVER": "pool.ntp.org"
      }
    }
  }
}

启动服务器

# 默认启动（同时支持Streamable HTTP和SSE）
npx current-time-timezone-server

# 自定义配置
HOST=0.0.0.0 PORT=8080 npx current-time-timezone-server

访问端点

服务器启动后，以下端点可用：

• Streamable HTTP: POST http://localhost:3000/mcp
• SSE: GET http://localhost:3000/sse
• SSE消息: POST http://localhost:3000/messages

测试SSE连接

# 访问SSE端点
curl -N http://localhost:3000/sse

# 注意：SSE端点用于MCP客户端连接，不支持直接带时区参数

Stdio Server

npx current-time-timezone-server-stdio

Environment Variables

• HOST: 服务器地址 (默认: localhost)
• PORT: 服务器端口 (默认: 3000)
• NTP_SERVER: NTP服务器地址 (默认: pool.ntp.org)

Docker Usage

构建镜像

docker build -t current-time-timezone-server .

运行容器

docker run -d \
  --name time-server \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e NTP_SERVER=pool.ntp.org \
  current-time-timezone-server:latest

使用docker-compose

docker-compose up -d

Development

# 安装依赖
npm install

# 开发模式
npm run dev

# 构建
npm run build

协议对比

| 协议 | 描述 | 使用场景 | 端点 | |---|---|---|---| | Streamable HTTP | MCP标准HTTP传输 | MCP客户端连接 | POST /mcp | | SSE | 服务器推送实时数据流 | MCP客户端连接 | GET /sse | | Stdio | 标准输入输出通信 | MCP客户端内部通信 | 无 |

端点说明

• Streamable HTTP: 支持完整的MCP协议，包括工具调用
• SSE: 提供实时连接，需要配合/messages端点使用
• Stdio: 独立的可执行文件，用于标准输入输出通信
