chronosync-mcp
Timezone converter, world clock, date math & meeting scheduler MCP server for
AI agents — free, no API key, IANA/DST-accurate.
A remote Model Context Protocol server that
gives AI agents everything they can't compute on their own about time: the
current time anywhere, timezone conversion (ISO or natural language),
DST-aware date arithmetic, and cross-timezone meeting scheduling.
Runs with low global latency, or locally as an npm binary.
Keywords: timezone · mcp · world clock · date math · meeting scheduler · DST · IANA · timezone converter

Why chronosync
- 🆓 Free & keyless — no account, no API key, no per-call billing.
- 🌍 IANA / DST accurate — correct across daylight-saving boundaries and
fractional offsets (India
+05:30, Nepal +05:45, Chatham +12:45).
- 🗣️ Natural language —
"next Tuesday 3pm" works as well as ISO 8601.
- 🧭 No identifiers required —
lookup_timezone("Delhi") → Asia/Kolkata.
- 🤝 Meeting scheduler — overlapping working-hour slots across zones,
skipping weekends and public holidays.
- ⚡ Global edge — deployed globaly
