A time server that keeps your AI honest about time. Real clock + drift guard, zero dependencies.
Tick MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Tick directly instead of describing what you should do. A time server that keeps your AI honest about time. Real clock + drift guard, zero dependencies.
Your AI assistant has no clock. It guesses time from context — and in long chats it fails: calls a 10-minute-old message "yesterday", says "good night" at 2 PM, plans "tomorrow" from a date three days stale. If you run multi-day working sessions with Claude, you've seen it.
Once Tick is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
local — stdioremote — Streamable HTTPhook — Claude Code hookSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Tick's toolset — local, remote, hook — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Cocabadger; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
