Cron Parser API

MCP Server x402 License: MIT

Parse, validate, and explain cron expressions. Get next N run times in any timezone. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base L2) -- no API key, no signup, no rate-limit wall.

Part of the klymax402 marketplace -- 100 x402 micropayment APIs for AI agents, one wallet, USDC on Base.

Quickstart -- MCP

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cron-parser": {
      "url": "https://cron-parser.api.klymax402.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)

curl -X POST "https://cron-parser.api.klymax402.com/api/parse" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"expression":"..."}'
# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body

Any x402-aware client (@x402/fetch, x402-agent-tools, ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.

schedule_parse_cron

Use this when you need to parse, validate, or explain a cron expression. Returns human-readable description, next N execution times, and field breakdown. Supports standard 5-field cron and extended 6-field (with seconds). Do NOT use for scheduling tasks — use api_test_webhook instead. Do NOT use for JSON validation — use data_validate_json instead.
