Product MCP Server

TrigRun provides an MCP server that lets AI agents manage jobs, executions, notifications, and secrets through tool calls.

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trigrun": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@cron/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CRON_API_URL": "https://api.trigrun.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add trigrun -- npx @cron/mcp

Any Streamable HTTP MCP client

The MCP server also runs as a standalone HTTP server:

CRON_API_URL=https://api.trigrun.com MCP_PORT=9090 npx @cron/mcp

Connect your MCP client to http://localhost:9090/mcp.

Authentication

Every tool requires a token argument. Use an API token (cron_pat_...) for long-lived agent use:

{
  "tool": "list_jobs",
  "arguments": {
    "token": "cron_pat_abc123..."
  }
}

Example conversation

User: Create a cron job that calls my API every hour and notify me on Slack if it fails.

The agent would:

Call create_job with kind: "cron", cron: "0 * * * *", and the target URL
Call create_channel with type: "slack" and the Slack webhook URL
Call add_rule with the job ID, channel ID, and event: "on_failure"

All three operations use the same token argument.
