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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
