## Install

This server runs on your machine as a child process of the client. You need the runtime its command uses, such as Node.js for npx, uv for uvx or Docker, plus any variables listed under Environment.

### Claude Code

`shell`

```
claude mcp add --scope project time -- uvx mcp-server-time
```

### Cursor

`.cursor/mcp.json`

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-time"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### Codex

`~/.codex/config.toml`

```
[mcp_servers.time]
command = "uvx"
args = ["mcp-server-time"]
```
