Conductor

Gives Claude direct control over a local task scheduler with 21 tools for creating workers, building multi-step chains, and reading execution logs. You can ask Claude to schedule a nightly backup script, wire up email reports through Gmail, or diagnose why a task keeps failing by pulling error logs from the last ten runs. Built on APScheduler and Flask with a web dashboard at localhost:5000, backed by SQLite and Redis. Supports Python, batch, and shell scripts with cron scheduling, parallel execution stages, per-worker environment variables, and templated tasks like folder watchers and uptime monitors. Auto-registers itself in Claude Desktop's MCP config on first launch. Useful when you want conversational control over local automation without clicking through a dashboard.
