Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

utility
utility_generate_crontab
Use this when you need to generate a cron expression from a natural language description like "every Monday at 9am" or "every 5 minutes". Returns the cron expression with validation. 1. expression -- the generated cron expression (e.g. "0 9 * * 1") 2. description -- human-readable confirmation of the schedule 3. nextRuns -- next 5 execution timestamps in UTC 4. confidence -- how confident the parser is in the interpretation (high, medium, low) Example output: {"expression":"0 9 * * 1","description":"Every Monday at 9:00 AM","nextRuns":["2026-04-14T09:00:00Z","2026-04-21T09:00:00Z"],"confidence":"high"} Use this FOR creating new scheduled tasks from user instructions, building crontab configs from plain English, or translating business requirements into cron syntax. Use this BEFORE writing cron entries manually. Do NOT use for parsing existing cron expressions -- use schedule_parse_cron instead. Do NOT use for JSON validation -- use data_validate_json instead. Do NOT use for text analysis -- use text_count_words instead.

Crontab Generator API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Crontab Generator API do?
It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: utility_generate_crontab. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Crontab Generator API working right now?

How do I connect Crontab Generator API?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Crontab Generator API need an API key?
No. Crontab Generator API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Crontab Generator API?
It answers our handshake in 36 ms on average, which is faster than 98% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Crontab Generator API open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
