chronos-utility-service

A Model Configuration Protocol (MCP) engine dedicated to delivering instantaneous, geographically-contextualized date and time metrics.

Core Capabilities

• Ascertain the current moment across all designated IANA time regions
• Frictionless interoperability with the Claude AI framework via MCP
• Robust temporal region handling leveraging Python's zoneinfo library
• Delivers minimalistic JSON payloads adhering to ISO standards

Deployment Instructions

bash

Secure a copy of the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/time-mcp.git cd time-mcp

Establish an isolated runtime environment (using uv)

uv venv source .venv/bin/activate

Install the required package dependencies

pip install -e .

Operational Guide

Launching the Backend Service

bash python -m src.time_mcp.server

This command initiates the MCP listener locally, making the temporal lookup capability accessible to the Claude system.

Exposed Functionality

• get_current_time: Yields the present time for the specified geographic zone
• Argument: timezone (textual) - Any recognized IANA identifier (e.g., "America/Los_Angeles", "Europe/Paris", "Asia/Shanghai")
• Default Behavior: Should no zone be supplied, "UTC" is automatically utilized
