LangChain Time convert_time

How to: LangChain Time convert_time

client:LangChain transport:stdio tool:convert_time

Add Time to LangChain

  1. 01

    Open pip install langchain-mcp-adapters and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient

client = MultiServerMCPClient({
        "time": {
            "transport": "stdio",
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": ["mcp-server-time"],
        }
})

tools = await client.get_tools()
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart LangChain.

  2. 03

    Ask for something convert_time does. LangChain lists the server's tools on connect and calls convert_time itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Time's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

get_tools() returns the server's tools as LangChain tools, ready for an agent. LangChain docs

Same tool, other clients

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
