Claude Code Setup

1. Get your API key

Log in to app.crontinel.com, go to your app, and copy the API key.

2. Add to Claude Code config

Edit ~/.claude/settings.json (or use the Claude Code settings UI):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crontinel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@crontinel/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CRONTINEL_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Code

The Crontinel tools will appear in Claude Code’s tool list.

4. Try it

Ask Claude Code:

  • “Did my cron jobs run last night?”
  • “What’s the queue depth right now?”
  • “Is Horizon healthy?”
  • “Show me recent alerts”

Troubleshooting

If tools don’t appear, check that Node.js 18+ is installed:

Terminal window
node --version

If the API key is wrong you’ll see 401 Unauthorized in the MCP server output.
