Simple Timer is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides interval timing functionality using unique string identifiers called tokens. It's designed as a beginner-friendly example of MCP Server implementation.

Question 2

How does token-based timing work?

Accepted Answer

You start and check timers using unique string identifiers (tokens). The server then tracks the elapsed time associated with each token.

Accepted Answer

Key features include token-based timers, elapsed time calculation, human-readable output of elapsed time, and persistent storage using a lightweight SQLite database.

Question 4

How can I integrate Simple Timer with an MCP host?

Accepted Answer

You'll typically need to provide the host with the command to execute the server. After building the project with `yarn build`, the command is usually `node dist/index.js`. Refer to your MCP host's documentation for specific instructions.

Question 5

Simple Timer exposes two tools: `start_timer` for starting a new timer for a given token and `check_timer` for checking the elapsed time for an existing timer, with options for raw (milliseconds) or human-readable output.
