The Cron MCP server is an Automation Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI agents schedule, list, and manage cron jobs and recurring tasks from AI agents via MCP. It exposes Cron's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.
The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install cron` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-cron` and restarting Claude Code.
Yes. The Cron MCP server is free and open source (see the GitHub repository linked on this page). You may still need a Cron account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.
Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.
Once installed, your AI agent can schedule, list, and manage cron jobs and recurring tasks from AI agents via MCP directly inside your conversation. Typical use cases include asking Claude Code or Cursor to run Cron operations, inspect results, chain Cron with other MCP servers (see our Workflow Recipes), and automate repetitive automation tasks without leaving your editor.
