Tools

Tool

Description

describe_cron

Parse and validate a cron expression (5 fields or an @alias) and describe it in plain English. Returns the parsed fields and whether it is valid.

next_runs

Compute the next N run times (UTC ISO-8601) for a cron expression. Optionally start from a given time.

Related MCP server: cron-mcp

Quick Start

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crontab": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/crontab/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Crontab data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
