What is the TimezoneDB MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire global time and timezone research workflow with TimezoneDB, the authoritative source for world clock data. By connecting TimezoneDB to your agent, you transform complex offset lookups into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve current time for any zone, audit daylight saving statuses, and identify regional time variations without you ever touching a manual converter. Whether you are planning international calls or building global scheduling systems, your agent acts as a real-time time consultant, ensuring your data is always precise and synchronized.
What you can do
- Time Auditing — Retrieve the exact current time for over 400 timezones and maintain a clear view of global offsets.
- Location Oversight — Query timezone details based on geographic coordinates to understand local time patterns instantly.
- Zone Discovery — List all supported timezones by country to identify regional variations and abbreviations.
- DST Intelligence — Check if daylight saving time is currently active for any zone to assist in precise scheduling.
- Spatial Discovery — Retrieve latitude and longitude metadata for specific zones to maintain spatial context.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your TimezoneDB API Key
- Start managing your global time intelligence through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Operations Managers — monitor international team hours and retrieve zone metadata straight from your workflow.
- Travel Coordinators — verify local times and audit DST transitions without manual searching.
- Data Engineers — perform rapid audits of geographic time data and identify correct offsets through natural language.
- App Developers — automate timezone data querying to orchestrate cross-functional global services smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my TimezoneDB API Key?
Log in to your TimezoneDB account, and you will find your API Key on the main page. Copy and paste it below.
Does the agent support searching by city?
While the primary tools use zone strings or coordinates, you can use list_timezones to find the correct zone name for a specific country.
Can the agent check if DST is active?
Yes. The get_dst_status tool returns a boolean value identifying if daylight saving time is currently being observed in the specified zone.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
