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 functionality
  • `server.py`: Server configuration and setup
  • `pyproject.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 project
  • `mcp.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

1. Clone the repository:

bash
git clone 
cd mix-server

2. Create and activate virtual environment using uv:

bash
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Unix/macOS
# or
.venv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows

3. Install dependencies using uv:

bash
uv pip install .

4. Set up Cursor configuration:

bash
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:

bash
uv run main.py

Configuration

The server uses the following configuration:

  • Local timezone: Asia/Shanghai
  • Default time format: %Y-%m-%d@%H:%M:%S
