Mix Server
A Python-based server that provides local time functionality through MCP (Model Control Protocol).
Features
- Get current local time in various formats
- Open files and URLs in the default web browser
- Simple and lightweight implementation
- Built with FastMCP for easy integration
- Uses uv for fast and reliable dependency management
Prerequisites
- Python 3.x
- uv package manager (recommended for build and environment management)
- Cursor IDE (for development)
Project Structure
The project consists of the following key files:
main.py
: The main server implementation with the time functionalityserver.py
: Server configuration and setuppyproject.toml
: Project configuration and dependencies- Defines project metadata (name, version, description)
- Specifies Python version requirement (>=3.12)
- Lists project dependencies (mcp[cli]>=1.6.0)
.python-version
: Specifies the Python version for the project.gitignore
: Git ignore rules for the projectmcp.json.example
: Example configuration file for Cursor IDE- Contains MCP server settings for local development
- Should be copied to
~/.cursor/mcp.json
for Cursor integration - Defines server configurations for time and sequential thinking services
Installation
- Clone the repository:
git clone <repository-url>
cd mix-server
- Create and activate virtual environment using uv:
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Unix/macOS
# or
.venv\Scripts\activate # On Windows
- Install dependencies using uv:
uv pip install .
- Set up Cursor configuration:
cp mcp_config.json.example ~/.cursor/mcp.json
Development
The project uses uv for all Python-related operations:
- Environment management:
uv venv
- Package installation:
uv pip install .
- Running the server:
uv run main.py
Usage
The server provides the following functionality:
get_local_current_time()
: Returns the current local time in the format "YYYY-MM-DD@HH:MM:SS"open_file_or_url_in_browser(target)
: Opens a file or URL in the default web browser- Supports both local files and web URLs
- For URLs: Use complete URL with protocol (e.g., "https://www.google.com")
- For files: Use local file path (relative or absolute)
- Returns a message indicating the result of the operation
To start the server:
uv run main.py
Configuration
The server uses the following configuration:
