Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that gives an assistant the current Unix timestamp in seconds, milliseconds, and ISO 8601 UTC.

What you can do
The server exposes a single tool, get_unix_time, which returns the current time as a dictionary. The result includes unix_time in seconds since the epoch, unix_time_ms in milliseconds, and iso8601 as the current UTC time in ISO 8601 format. It runs locally over STDIO transport.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs an accurate current time or epoch value rather than relying on its own sense of the date, for example when computing durations, formatting timestamps, or labeling output with the current UTC time.
Requirements
Python with the mcp-epochs package installed from PyPI, run as a local STDIO process on a desktop client. No accounts, API keys, environment variables, or headers are declared.
Before you install
Read-only: it only reports the current time and does not write, send, or delete data. It returns UTC, so local time zone conversion is left to the caller.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Mcp Epochs in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Install

bash
pip install mcp-epochs

Usage

bash
mcp-epochs

This runs the MCP server with STDIO transport. The server provides a get_unix_time tool.

API

get_unix_time()

Returns the current Unix timestamp as a dictionary with the following keys:

  • unix_time (int): Current Unix timestamp in seconds since epoch.
  • unix_time_ms (int): Current Unix timestamp in milliseconds since epoch.
  • iso8601 (str): Current UTC time in ISO 8601 format (e.g., "2026-03-26T21:30:00Z").

run_server()

Starts the MCP server using STDIO transport for local desktop MCP clients.
