Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP endpoint that parses, validates and explains cron expressions and returns their next run times, paid per call in USDC.

What you can do
  • Parse, validate and explain a cron expression, including a field breakdown and human-readable description
  • Get the next N execution times (default 5, max 20) in a chosen IANA timezone
  • Handle standard 5-field cron and extended 6-field cron with seconds
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to check whether a cron schedule is valid, explain what an expression means, or list upcoming run times in a specific timezone. It is a single-purpose utility, not a task scheduler.
Requirements
Remote SSE endpoint at cron-parser.api.klymax402.com; no API key or signup. Each call is paid per use via x402 with USDC on Base L2, so an x402-capable client and a funded wallet are needed; plain HTTP requests get a 402 payment challenge.
Before you install
Every call costs money ($0.003 per parse) and requires signing a USDC payment on Base L2, so a wallet key is involved and spending should be capped. Payment is handled through third-party facilitators (Coinbase CDP, PayAI), and the service is one of a larger commercial API marketplace.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Cron Parser API in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via SSE. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.Br0ski777%2Fcron-parser/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Cron Parser API

[MCP Server] [x402] [License: MIT]

Parse, validate, and explain cron expressions. Get next N run times in any timezone. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base L2) -- no API key, no signup, no rate-limit wall.

Part of the klymax402 marketplace -- 100 x402 micropayment APIs for AI agents, one wallet, USDC on Base.

Quickstart -- MCP

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "cron-parser": {      "url": "https://cron-parser.api.klymax402.com/mcp"    }  }}

Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)

bash
curl -X POST "https://cron-parser.api.klymax402.com/api/parse" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{"expression":"..."}'# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body

Any x402-aware client (@x402/fetch, x402-agent-tools, ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 daysRequired25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declaredRequired10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
