How to use Time MCP Server?
The server offers two primary tools: get_current_time and convert_time. get_current_time requires a timezone argument to return the current time in that zone. convert_time requires source and target timezones, along with a time string, to convert between timezones. The server can be installed via uv or pip and configured for use with Claude or Zed by adding the appropriate configuration snippets to their respective settings files.
