cron-translator

MCP serverProductivity

Once added, your AI can turn cron expressions, the short strings that control when scheduled tasks run, into plain English, list upcoming run times, and flag scheduling mistakes before they cause trouble. That makes it easier to set up or double-check any automated schedule.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

After adding it, paste a cron expression into your chat and ask what it means or when it will run next. If a schedule seems off, ask your AI to check it for gotchas.

Then ask your AI: use cron-translator to explain cron

What your AI can do with it

  • Explain any cron expression in plain English
  • List the next times a schedule will run
  • Catch scheduling gotchas before they cause surprises
