How do I install the cron mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `CRON_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_SECRET`, `PUBLIC_BASE_URL`, `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Cron MCP Server?

Cron-as-a-service MCP. Schedule prompts; when the cron fires we POST to your callback URL.

The short version

Your agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, a custom script) does the thinking. We just: - store the schedule + prompt + your callback URL - match minutes against the cron expression - POST the job body to your callback, signed with X-Cron-Signature
