What it can touch
Reads only the system clock and the IANA timezone database; no files, no network, no credentials of any kind.
Risk
Risk is near zero — a good example of a minimal-capability server. The only remaining exposure is the generic supply-chain one: the first npx/uvx run downloads the package, and packages can be tampered with (see the supply-chain-risk glossary entry).
Install prompt
從官方參考 server 倉庫的 Time 目錄取得說明,把 README 的客戶端設定片段(以 uvx 啟動 mcp-server-time)加進你的 MCP 客戶端設定檔,然後重啟客戶端。Paste this to your agent. It deliberately contains no tool subcommands — check the tool's official docs for commands.
