Overview

What is MCP Scheduler?

MCP Scheduler is a robust task scheduler server built with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for scheduling and managing automated tasks. It supports shell commands, API calls, AI content generation via OpenAI, and desktop reminders with sound. The server uses cron expressions for flexible timing and provides a complete execution history.

How to use MCP Scheduler?

Install via uv or standard pip, then run python main.py with optional arguments (e.g., --transport sse --port 8080). Integrate with MCP clients like Claude Desktop by adding the server to its configuration file. Tasks are added via MCP tools such as add_command_task, add_api_task, add_ai_task, and add_reminder_task, each requiring a cron schedule and optional do_only_once flag.

Key features of MCP Scheduler

  • Supports shell commands, API calls, AI tasks, and desktop notifications
  • Uses standard cron syntax for precise scheduling
  • Allows run-once or recurring task execution
  • Tracks successful and failed task executions
  • Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • Desktop alerts with sound for reminder tasks
  • Seamless MCP integration with AI assistants
  • Robust error handling with comprehensive logging

Use cases of MCP Scheduler

  • Schedule daily database backups with a shell command
