Cline Time get_current_time

How to: Cline Time get_current_time

client:Cline transport:stdio tool:get_current_time

Add Time to Cline

  1. 01

    Open ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-time"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cline.

  2. 03

    Ask for something get_current_time does. Cline lists the server's tools on connect and calls get_current_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.

Cline's MCP Servers pane edits this file for you if you would rather not find it. Cline 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.
