Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Cron Monitor every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 6

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

monitor
create_monitor
Register a new cron job monitor. Returns the monitor ID to use in ping URLs. Requires API key.
get_monitor_status
Get the current status (up/down/grace/new) of a specific cron monitor along with last ping time and total ping count.
ping
get_ping_history
Retrieve the last 100 ping events for a monitor (type, timestamp, IP, duration for complete events). Requires API key.
ping_monitor
Send a heartbeat ping to a cron monitor to confirm the job ran successfully. Use ping_type='ping' for simple heartbeats, 'start'+'complete' for duration tracking, or 'fail' to immediately mark it down.
dashboard
get_dashboard
Get an overview of all cron monitors — total count, counts per status (up/down/grace/new), and a summary list. Requires API key.
monitors
list_monitors
List all monitors with real-time computed status. Requires API key.

Cron Monitor — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cron Monitor do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_monitor, get_dashboard, get_monitor_status, get_ping_history, list_monitors, ping_monitor. 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 →
What is Cron Monitor mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around monitor and ping. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Cron Monitor working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 192 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Cron Monitor?
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 Cron Monitor need an API key?
No. Cron Monitor completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Cron Monitor?
It answers our handshake in 192 ms on average, which is faster than 68% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Cron Monitor open source?
We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
