Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of cron-parser, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with cron-parser. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions cron-parser owners ask.

  • 01

    Why use an MCP for cron translation?

    Because AI models predict text probabilistically. They often invent invalid cron configurations or fail to understand exactly when a specific combination (like 1 ) will trigger next. An algorithmic check provides certainty.

  • 02

    Does it support the standard 5-part cron format?

    Yes. It perfectly parses the standard 5-part expression (Minute, Hour, Day of Month, Month, Day of Week) heavily used in Unix/Linux and SaaS orchestrators.
