Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: 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).

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 65 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 in the form 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 65 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.
