Crontab Generator API does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 30.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

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?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 43 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Crontab Generator API as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

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.

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.
