This sounds like only your first suggestion: it’s too early for me, I can’t get up at that time.

6:30 is too early for me to get up. (I won’t do it)
I get up at 6:30. (Habitually)
I get up early. (Habitually)
I get up at 6:30. I think that’s early. (Stating my habit, as well as my opinion that 6:30 qualifies as ‘early’) In speech we might shorten that and say:
I get up early - at 6:30.

Nothing in the sentence says you get up. An infinitive cannot get you up. Only a verb can get you up: "I get up".
