Time FAQs

Question 1

How is Time deployed and integrated with AI companions?

Accepted Answer

Time can be easily deployed via a simple CLI script or manually as a Cloudflare Worker. It integrates with AI companions like Claude Desktop by configuring an MCP server that uses the Worker's URL, allowing the AI to call the 'check_time' tool.

Question 2

What are the costs associated with using Time?

Accepted Answer

Time is completely free to use. It runs efficiently within Cloudflare's free tier, which provides up to 100,000 requests per day, making it highly cost-effective for typical usage by AI companions.

Question 3

What is Time and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

Time is a lightweight Cloudflare Worker designed to give AI companions the ability to check the current time in any timezone. It returns both a UTC timestamp and a human-readable local time, including the date and timezone identifier.

Question 4

Can I set a default timezone for the Time tool?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can configure a default timezone by setting the 'DEFAULT_TIMEZONE' environment variable in your AI companion's configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop's config file). This allows you to specify any IANA timezone identifier without modifying the worker code itself.

Question 5

Is Time secure and what timezones does it support?

Accepted Answer

Time is secure; while the Cloudflare Worker is publicly accessible, it only returns time data and poses no security risk or exposes personal information. It supports all standard IANA timezone identifiers (e.g., America/New_York, Europe/London, Asia/Tokyo).
