Summary
A Cloudflare Workers based MCP server that parses and manipulates cron expressions through a streamable HTTP interface. Exposes operations to explain cron syntax in plain English, validate expressions, generate the next N run times, create cron strings from structured descriptions (like "every day at 9am"), and list common patterns. Useful when you need Claude to schedule tasks, interpret existing cron jobs, or help users build schedules without memorizing cron syntax. The underlying API supports standard 5-field cron plus presets like @daily and @weekly. Runs as a remote service at api.lazy-mac.com, so no local installation needed beyond MCP configuration.
Keeps your Mac awake while Claude Code, Codex or Cursor works. Lets it sleep when they are done.
