Time Server
Current time, date, and elapsed time helpers.
Overview
The Time MCP server provides reliable time and date utilities for automation, reporting, and scheduling. It can return current timestamps, dates, and times in local or timezone- specific formats, and it can calculate elapsed time since a given datetime.
Why use the Time server
Time handling is a frequent source of bugs in automated systems. The Time server offers consistent, standardized time operations so you can avoid duplicated logic and timezone errors. It is valuable when you need to:
- Generate timestamps for logs and exports
- Normalize data into a single timezone
- Compute time deltas for reports and alerts
- Schedule workflows based on elapsed time
Common use cases
Use the Time server to enrich records with timestamps, build time-based summaries, or calculate service-level reporting metrics. It is also useful for automation flows that depend on accurate timezone conversions.
What is develate MCP
develate MCP is the framework that packages servers like this one into a unified, discoverable tooling layer for AI and automation. It standardizes how tools are described, called, and documented, so clients can integrate capabilities safely and consistently. In short, develate MCP makes server tools easy to find, easy to use, and reliable across environments.
