How to Use the World Time (Keyless) MCP in CrewAI
Run autonomous operations that require global timing data using World Time (Keyless) with CrewAI.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect World Time (Keyless) MCP to CrewAI
Create your Vinkius account to connect World Time (Keyless) to CrewAI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Time-Aware Operations for the MCP Server
The `get_current_time` tool lets your crew of agents get precise atomic time, UTC offset, and DST status. One agent can check if a market opens in Tokyo while another checks if it's mid-day in London. This helps build complex operational sequences where timing is critical to the outcome.
Listing Timezones for Agent Collaboration
Agents need to agree on zones. The `list_available_timezones` tool gives your crew a comprehensive list of supported regions. This ensures that when one agent sets up a task, it uses a valid timezone string. The monitor agent can use this data to validate all time inputs before the final action.
Using World Time (Keyless) in Autonomous Crews
Your crew calls `get_current_time` through the MCP Server. The tool returns global time information without requiring an API key, keeping your setup cleaner. Whether you pass a timezone or use 'ip' for inference, the result is clean data ready for immediate analysis by another specialized agent.
Set up World Time (Keyless) MCP in CrewAI
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
crewaipackage (pip install crewai) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install CrewAI
Run
pip install crewaito install the framework. MCP support is built-in via themcpsparameter. - 2
Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the
mcpslist. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically. - 3
Kick off your crew
Create a
Crewwith your agent and tasks. Callcrew.kickoff()— the agent will automatically invoke World Time (Keyless) tools as needed.
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
agent = Agent(
role="World Time (Keyless) Analyst",
goal="Access and analyze World Time (Keyless) data via MCP.",
backstory="Expert analyst with direct World Time (Keyless) access.",
mcps=[
