Time and timezone utilities for getting current time and converting between timezones. Use when: (1) Getting current time in any timezone, (2) Converting time between different timezones, (3) Working with IANA timezone names, (4) Scheduling across timezones, (5) Time-sensitive operations. Triggers: "what time is it", "current time", "convert time", "timezone", "time in [city]".

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

Execution Methods

Run scripts/time_cli.py via Bash:

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
`get_current_time`	`timezone` (required, IANA name)	`{timezone, datetime, is_dst}`
`convert_time`	`source_timezone`, `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 get_current_time 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

get_current_time Response

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

}

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
