Time

Time and timezone conversion utilities. Standalone CLI only (no MCP dependency).

Execution Methods

Run scripts/time_cli.py via Bash:

# Prerequisites: pip install pytz (or use Python 3.9+ with zoneinfo)

# Get current time in a timezone
python scripts/time_cli.py get --timezone "Asia/Shanghai"
python scripts/time_cli.py get --timezone "America/New_York"
python scripts/time_cli.py get  # Uses system timezone

# Convert time between timezones
python scripts/time_cli.py convert \
  --time "16:30" \
  --from "America/New_York" \
  --to "Asia/Tokyo"

# List available timezones
python scripts/time_cli.py list [--filter "Asia"]

Tool Capability Matrix

Tool	Parameters	Output
`getcurrenttime`	`timezone` (required, IANA name)	`{timezone, datetime, is_dst}`
`convert_time`	`sourcetimezone`, `time` (HH:MM), `target``timezone`	`{source, target, time_difference}`

Common IANA Timezone Names

Region	Timezone
China	`Asia/Shanghai`
Japan	`Asia/Tokyo`
Korea	`Asia/Seoul`
US East	`America/New_York`
US West	`America/Los_Angeles`
UK	`Europe/London`
Germany	`Europe/Berlin`
France	`Europe/Paris`
Australia	`Australia/Sydney`
UTC	`UTC`

Workflow

Getting Current Time

Identify target timezone (use IANA name)
Call getcurrenttime with timezone parameter
Response includes ISO 8601 datetime and DST status

Converting Time

Identify source timezone and time (24-hour format HH:MM)
Identify target timezone
Call convert_time with all parameters
Response includes both times and time difference

Output Format

getcurrenttime Response

{
  "timezone": "Asia/Shanghai",
  "datetime": "2024-01-01T21:00:00+08:00",
  "is_dst": false
}

convert_time Response

{
  "source": {
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "datetime": "2024-01-01T16:30:00-05:00",
    "is_dst": false
  },
  "target": {
    "timezone": "Asia/Tokyo",
    "datetime": "2024-01-02T06:30:00+09:00",
    "is_dst": false
  },
  "time_difference": "+14.0h"
}

Error Handling

Error	Recovery
Invalid timezone	Check IANA timezone name spelling
Invalid time format	Use 24-hour format HH:MM
MCP unavailable	Fall back to CLI script

Anti-Patterns

Prohibited	Correct
Use city names directly	Use IANA timezone names (e.g., `Asia/Tokyo` not `Tokyo`)
Use 12-hour format	Use 24-hour format (e.g., `16:30` not `4:30 PM`)
Assume timezone	Always specify timezone explicitly
