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.

cron402 — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for cron402?
cron402 runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package cron402-mcp was installed 43 times last week.
How do I connect cron402?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls cron402-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use cron402?
The npm package cron402-mcp was installed 43 times in the last week. Week over week that is +388%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is cron402 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.
