Two ways to run it, both free to start. Open mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect, copy the timezone URL and paste it into any client that takes a URL. It already carries a free token, so there is nothing to install, no account and no header to set. The URL is https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/timezone/t/<token>. The token is not optional: the bare https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/timezone connects and lists its tools and then answers every tool call with HTTP 401, so use the link from /mcp/connect or send Authorization: Bearer <token>. Or download timezone.mcpb and double-click it in Claude Desktop.
Work with clients in other countries without doing time zone arithmetic in your head. Ask "what time is it for Maria in Lisbon", "convert 3pm Warsaw to New York and Bangalore", or "find an hour next week that works for me, my client in New York and my designer in London" and get an answer you can act on: ranked meeting slots where everyone is inside their own working hours, the exact daily overlap, when the clocks change, how many business days a delivery date is, and a calendar file you can send. Saved contacts, working hours and nothing else live as plain JSON on your own machine.
Built by theluckystrike.
In the official MCP Registry (io.github.theluckystrike/timezone-world-clock-meeting-slots-overlap-ics).
Find a meeting time that works for everyone abroad, convert any time between cities, and write the invite, zero setup, all local.
npm publish for @theluckystrike/mcp-timezone is pending. Until then, the .mcpb one-click bundle or a
clone+build is the working path, both are verified below.
One-click (.mcpb): download timezone.mcpb from the latest release and double-click it in Claude Desktop:
https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers/releases/latest
(claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"timezone": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-timezone"]
}
}
}
Claude Code:
claude mcp add timezone -- npx -y @theluckystrike/mcp-timezone
(.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"timezone": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-timezone"]
}
}
}
The npx form above starts working the moment the package is published. Until then, use the .mcpb bundle above,
or build from source with exactly these three commands:
git clone https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers.git && cd mcp-servers
npm install
npm run build -w packages/mcp-license -w servers/timezone
Then point your client's command at node with one arg: the absolute path to servers/timezone/dist/index.js.
To run in Pro mode set MCP_LICENSE_KEY in the same config block, or call license_activate once with your key.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
now |
The current time in any list of places, with the zone abbreviation and UTC offset. With no arguments: this machine's zone and UTC. |
convert_time |
Convert a time from one place to any number of others. Reads "2026-09-10 15:00", an ISO timestamp, or "3pm tomorrow" as wall-clock time in from_zone; a trailing Z or an explicit offset wins over from_zone. Flags a next-day or previous-day result, and states which occurrence it used on a DST fold (gap, fold). |
find_meeting_slots |
Ranked times where every participant is inside their own working hours, on a 30-minute grid, weekends skipped. Ranked by fairness (see below). |
overlap |
The daily window when every listed place is at work, in UTC and in each local clock, computed on a real date so DST weeks are honest. |
dst_changes |
Every clock change in a place for a year: the exact UTC instant, the offset before and after, and the local time either side. |
business_days |
Business days between two dates in a place, excluding weekends and any holidays you pass. Dates are strict: 2026-02-30 is refused, never rolled forward. |
ics_create |
Write a .ics calendar file for one meeting and return the path. Attendees with an email are invited; a name with no email is listed in the description. organizer_email writes the ORGANIZER line. |
contacts_set |
Remember a client or teammate's zone and working hours. |
contacts_list |
Everyone you have saved, their local time now, and whether they are inside working hours. |
license_status |
Free or Pro, and where to upgrade. |
license_activate |
Activate a Pro key (verified offline). |
Also exposed: the resource tz://contacts (saved contacts and their current local time) and the prompt
schedule_with (proposes times with saved contacts, then offers to write the invite).
No tool names required.

find_meeting_slots { participants: [{name:"Me",zone:"Warsaw"},{name:"Client",zone:"New York"},
{name:"Designer",zone:"London"}], duration_minutes: 60, days: 5 }
Assistant: 15 slots fit all 3 participants. Best first:

Me 15:30-16:30 | Client 09:30-10:30 | Designer 14:30-15:30
Three hours of fairness is not a flaw in the ranking, it is the truth about Warsaw and New York: with 09:00-17:00 days on both sides the shared window is only 15:00-17:00 Warsaw, so somebody's meeting is always far from the middle of their day. The score says so instead of hiding it. Widen one person's hours and the score improves.
You: Write the invite for that one, 45 minutes, and send it to maria@acme.com.

find_meeting_slots scores every candidate by the worst participant's distance from 13:00 local, in hours,
and sorts ascending. The worst, not the average, on purpose: a slot that is pleasant for two people and 07:00
for the third must never outrank one that is 10:00 for everybody. A fairness of 0 would mean the meeting sits
at midday for all of them; anything under about 2 is comfortable.
A slot is only offered when the whole meeting, start to end, is inside every participant's working window,
on their own local calendar day. Weekends in the first participant's zone are skipped. No slot ever starts
before earliest_date, if you pass a time with it, slots earlier that day are not proposed.
When nothing fits, the server says so, shows the windows, and then lists the closest times that are somebody's hours, ranked by the total minutes outside, with each person's local time and the working hours that would make each one fit. On the free tier a search longer than 5 days is shortened to 5 days and the answer says so; it is never refused outright.
City and country names resolve through a built-in table of 490 entries (300+ cities, every commonly used
country and US state shorthands). Every entry is verified against
Intl.supportedValuesOf("timeZone") at startup; an entry this Node build cannot resolve is dropped with a
line on stderr rather than silently answering with the wrong zone.
America/Denver and you get exactly that.UTC+2 style offsets resolve to the matching fixed zone (Etc/GMT-2, the Etc signs are inverted by the
IANA database, not by this server).EST is Etc/GMT+5 (UTC-05:00) all year, PST is
Etc/GMT+8, CET is Etc/GMT-1, JST is Etc/GMT-9. Mapping them to a DST-observing zone made EST
mean EDT (UTC-04:00) every summer, an hour wrong for half the year. Each answer carries a note naming the
place to pass instead ("New York", "Los Angeles", "Paris"). The region shorthands ET, CT, MT,
PT still name places and keep their clock changes. IST is read as India (UTC+05:30, Asia/Kolkata,
no daylight saving) and the note says so, because IST also names Irish and Israel time.unknown time zone or place: "Warsawa". Did you mean: warsaw (Europe/Warsaw)?DST is not stored here at all. Every offset comes from the ICU data inside your Node build via
Intl.DateTimeFormat, so the rules stay current as Node updates instead of going stale in a bundled table.

Contacts and the monthly .ics counter live in one JSON file:
${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/mcp-servers/timezone/data.json.
Every write happens under an advisory lock at .../timezone/.lock, held across the whole load-mutate-save
cycle, so two clients sharing one data dir cannot discard each other's contacts. The save writes a temporary
file and renames it into place, so a crash mid-write leaves either the old file or the new one.
If data.json is ever unreadable or not valid JSON, the server does not treat that as "no contacts yet".
It moves the file aside byte-for-byte as data.json.corrupt-<timestamp>, writes a data.json.corrupt marker,
and every later call fails with data file is corrupt; moved to ...; nothing was written until you restore a
good copy and delete the marker.
from_zone, not UTC. 2026-09-10 15:00 with
from_zone: "Warsaw" is 15:00 in Warsaw. A trailing Z or an explicit +05:30 is honoured exactly and
from_zone is then only used for display.2026-02-30 is refused with the reason (February 2026
has 28 days) everywhere a date is read: convert_time, overlap, business_days, ics_create and the
holiday list. Nothing is ever rolled forward into March.02:30 on 2026-03-29 in
Warsaw comes back as an error naming both valid neighbours (2026-03-29 01:30 and 2026-03-29 03:30).
Pass gap:"forward" to take the time after the jump or gap:"backward" for the one before it; the answer
then says which it used. Guessing silently is how a meeting moves an hour once a year.02:30 on 2026-10-25 in
Warsaw is 00:30Z, the CEST reading. Pass fold:"second" for 01:30Z, the CET one. Both answers name
the abbreviation and offset they used..ics attendees are calendar addresses. An attendee with an email becomes
ATTENDEE;CN="Name";RSVP=TRUE:mailto:addr, with CN written as a quoted RFC 5545 parameter value. A name
with no email is listed in DESCRIPTION instead of being written as an unroutable address. Any CR, LF or
control character in any field is refused, not escaped away: it is what a content-line injection looks
like. organizer_email writes the ORGANIZER line; without it no ORGANIZER is written and the answer
says so, because replies then have nowhere to go..ics files carry UTC times (DTSTART:20260910T130000Z) and no VTIMEZONE block. That is deliberate:
a hand-written VTIMEZONE with stale DST rules is the classic way an invite lands an hour off.business_days yourself) or anyone's lunch. business_days says so in
its own answer when no holiday list is passed, so a "22 business days" figure is never mistaken for a
public-holiday-adjusted one.days <= 366, duration_minutes <= 1440, and a
business_days range of at most 3700 days (longer ranges are refused, never silently truncated).out_path is written where you name it. ics_create resolves a relative path against the
process working directory and does not confine it to the data directory; an unwritable path returns
a clean EACCES and consumes none of the free monthly quota.work_start/work_end or read the dates.npx hangs or fails to find the package: npm publish is pending. Use the .mcpb bundle or the
clone-and-build path above.America/Argentina/Cordoba is available even when the city name is not in the table.node -v. Older builds ship older DST rules.--mcp-debug.license_status, and confirm MCP_LICENSE_KEY is set in the process the
client launches, not just your shell.All data stays local: contacts live in ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/mcp-servers/timezone/data.json.
The server makes no network requests, has no telemetry and needs no account. Time zone data comes from the
ICU database already inside Node.
Yes, and it does not store any DST rules of its own. Every offset is read from the ICU data in your Node build, so Warsaw and New York being 5 hours apart (not 6) between 8 and 29 March 2026 falls out correctly.
Because a real overlap can be two hours wide. The fairness score reports the worst person's distance from their midday so you can see the cost and decide who absorbs it.
Yes. India (+05:30), Nepal (+05:45), Adelaide (+09:30) and Chatham are handled like any other zone; the slot grid is 30 minutes, so a half-hour zone produces :00 and :30 local starts.
No. It knows only the working hours you give it. It writes .ics files; it never reads or connects to a
calendar service.
No. There are no network calls anywhere, including license activation.

Your identity is stored once, at ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/mcp-servers/profile/business.json,
and every server in the suite reads it: the invoice issuer, the docx letterhead, the recurring
issuer, expense-tracker's default VAT rate, time-tracker's and timezone's home zone, and the
resume and contract letterheads. Set it once with business_set (invoice or docx) - you never
repeat it anywhere else. An email address is only ever taken from that profile or from an explicit
argument; when none is stored, documents show [add: email] and the tool says so rather than
letting anyone improvise an address.

One prompt that scored 3 of 3, measured in round 10, 2026-09-03. Paste it in as it is written.
Find a one-hour slot next week with Tom in Austin inside 9 to 17 for both of us.
Paste this into Claude with the server connected.
What it did, measured in round 10, 2026-09-03: It checked for a saved contact first, then searched Mon 2026-09-07 to Fri 09-11 with both work windows at 09:00-17:00, resolving the bare place name 'Austin' server-side.
On the free tier for this path: Conversions, overlap, DST, business days, slots for up to 3 participants over 5 days, 5 contacts, 3 ics per month.
