@pipeworx/timeapi-io

TimeAPI.io MCP — keyless current time, zone conversion, DST queries.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.

Tools

current_time(timeZone) — current time in a zone
current_time_coordinate(latitude, longitude) — current time at lat/lon
current_time_ip(ipAddress) — current time at an IP
current_iso_zoned_date_time(timeZone) — ISO zoned datetime
current_zone_info(timeZone) — zone info (DST flag, UTC offset)
convert_time_zone(fromTimeZone, dateTime, toTimeZone, dstAmbiguity?) — convert between zones
day_of_the_week(date) — day of week for a date
list_zones() — supported zones
translate_to_iso(date, format) — parse a custom-format date to ISO

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "timeapi-io": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/timeapi-io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/timeapi-io/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

Code

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Timeapi Io data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
