Endpoint Security57
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2160 tokens (~135/item across 16 items; 16 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management60
  • Stability observed for 18 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "delete_task" implies "delete" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 17 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
Install

How do I install the 402cron MCP server?

402cron is a hosted endpoint at https://402cron.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 16 exposed · ~2,060 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
create_task ~441

Register a schedule against a destination you have already verified. Idempotent on "name": the same name updates the existing task instead of creating a second one. Creating costs nothing; each delivery ATTEMPT costs one credit.

NameTypeReqDescription
body––The body we send. Stored in the clear, so it must not carry credentials. A non-string is serialized as JSON.
cronstringyes5 fields, UTC only, one minute at the finest. Operators: * a-b a,b */n a-b/n. Names: SUN-SAT (day), JAN-DEC (month). Macros: @yearly @annually @monthly @weekly @daily @midnight @hourly. Day-of-week i…
headersobject–Headers we send with the delivery. Stored ENCRYPTED at rest — put credentials here, never in the body.
methodstring–HTTP method of the delivery. Default POST. GET and HEAD carry no body.
namestringyesYour name for the task. Unique among your live tasks; creating with an existing name updates it.
timeoutMsinteger–How long we wait for your server, 250-2000 ms. Answer 202 and do the work behind it.
urlstringyesThe https:// destination. It must already be registered and verified — see register_destination.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

delete_destination ~43

Remove a claimed URL. Refused while a task still points at it — delete the task first.

NameTypeReqDescription
idintegeryesDestination id, as returned by register_destination.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

delete_task ~67

Move the task to the recycle bin. It stops firing immediately and can be restored for 30 days with restore_task; after that it is unrecoverable. Credits already spent are not refunded.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesTask id (UUID), as returned by create_task or list_tasks.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_docs ~59

One section of the machine documentation: quickstart, headers, signature, notice, errors, billing or limits. Omit `section` to get the whole document.

NameTypeReqDescription
sectionstring–Which section to return. Omit for all of it.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_pricing ~49

What a delivery costs, which packs exist, and the exact x402 payment requirements for each. Balance is counted in DELIVERIES, not money, and packs never expire. Call this before buying.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_service_status ~44

Whether the service is currently selling, on which network, and if not — why not. This is configuration, not liveness: the full health endpoint is at /health.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_task ~51

A single task: schedule, destination, state, next run, and how many failures in a row it carries.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesTask id (UUID), as returned by create_task or list_tasks.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_destinations ~28

The URLs you have claimed and whether each is verified. The signing secrets are never shown again.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_tasks ~77

Your tasks and their state. Needs your management token as an Authorization header on this connection.

NameTypeReqDescription
afterstring–Cursor from a previous page.
limitinteger–How many to return.
statestring–Filter by state: live (default), all, or one exact state such as active or paused_by_client.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

pause_task ~43

Stop firing until you resume. Nothing is charged while a task is paused.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesTask id (UUID), as returned by create_task or list_tasks.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

register_destination ~275

Claim an https:// URL you control. We answer with a challenge and a SIGNING SECRET that is shown ONCE and never again — store it before you do anything else; it is what lets you verify that a delivery really came from us. The permission covers that path and everything beneath it, nothing above. Verification is one request from us to the exact URL you registered: POST, headers X-402cron-Challenge: <value> and X-402cron-Event: verify, JSON body {"challenge":"<value>"}. Reply within 5 seconds, without a redirect, with a body that is the bare value or {"challenge":"<value>"}; we read the first 512 bytes and do not check the HTTP status (2xx is fine). Then call POST /api/destinations/{id}/verify within 15 minutes of registering. A fixed-response webhook cannot pass: you need an endpoint you can program. Registering a URL that is still pending issues a new challenge and a new signing secret every time — the old secret immediately stops verifying deliveries; a verified URL is left untouched unless you add ?rotate=1. The daily verification allowance (10 per destination, 40 per client, UTC day) does not reset on re-registration.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyesThe https:// URL you control.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

restore_task ~51

Bring a task back from the recycle bin within 30 days. It comes back PAUSED — resume it explicitly.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesTask id (UUID), as returned by create_task or list_tasks.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

resume_task ~47

Start firing again on the schedule. Refused if your balance is empty — buy deliveries first.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesTask id (UUID), as returned by create_task or list_tasks.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

run_task_now ~81

Deliver immediately, outside the schedule. THIS COSTS ONE CREDIT per attempt, exactly like a scheduled firing, and a timeout or unreachable host is retried up to three times — so one call can cost up to three credits. Use it to test a destination.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesTask id (UUID), as returned by create_task or list_tasks.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

update_task ~477

Change the schedule, destination, method, timeout, headers or body of an existing task. Omit a field to leave it unchanged — sending null is refused, because "unchanged" and "cleared" must not look the same. State is NOT editable here: use pause_task and resume_task.

NameTypeReqDescription
body––The body we send. Stored in the clear, so it must not carry credentials. A non-string is serialized as JSON.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verify_destination ~227

Verification is one request from us to the exact URL you registered: POST, headers X-402cron-Challenge: <value> and X-402cron-Event: verify, JSON body {"challenge":"<value>"}. Reply within 5 seconds, without a redirect, with a body that is the bare value or {"challenge":"<value>"}; we read the first 512 bytes and do not check the HTTP status (2xx is fine). Then call POST /api/destinations/{id}/verify within 15 minutes of registering. A fixed-response webhook cannot pass: you need an endpoint you can program. Registering a URL that is still pending issues a new challenge and a new signing secret every time — the old secret immediately stops verifying deliveries; a verified URL is left untouched unless you add ?rotate=1. The daily verification allowance (10 per destination, 40 per client, UTC day) does not reset on re-registration. Until this passes, no task may point at the destination.

Common questions

What is the 402cron MCP server?

402cron is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.402cron/402cron. Paid cron for AI agents: we call your https URL on schedule, signed. No account, paid with x402. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://402cron.com/mcp).

Is the 402cron MCP server safe to use?

402cron scores 71 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the 402cron MCP server expose?

402cron exposes 16 tools: get_pricing, get_docs, get_service_status, list_tasks, get_task, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,060 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the 402cron MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to 402cron without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the 402cron MCP server still maintained?

402cron is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
