To use @dandeliongold/mcp-time, install it via npm and configure it in your Claude desktop configuration file. You can then make JSON-RPC requests to get the current time or calculate time differences.

  • Returns current time in ISO format - Calculates time differences between timestamps and current time - Supports both minutes and seconds intervals - Cross-platform compatibility for Windows and macOS - Simple JSON-RPC interface - Detailed error handling
  1. Integrating time functionalities into applications using Claude.
  2. Calculating time differences for scheduling and planning.
  3. Providing real-time time data in applications.
