cron402 runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 43 installs a week from npm. Last commit 8 Sep 2026.
Schedule webhook calls, pay per run in USDC on Base via x402. Ten tools, built for small models.
Today is the operative word: we check cron402 every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
CRON402_PRIVATE_KEY (Agent wallet private key (0x…). Fund with USDC on Base mainnet or Sepolia. Without it the server starts read-only: the free tools still work.), CRON402_NETWORK (CAIP-2 network id. Default eip155:8453 (Base mainnet); use eip155:84532 for Sepolia.), CRON402_API_URL (cron402 API base URL. Defaults to the production Worker.), CRON402_STATE_DIR (Directory where created job ids are remembered so list_crons can recover them. Defaults to ~/.cron402.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
