MCP Integration Overview

Crontinel exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so AI coding assistants can query your monitoring data inline – without opening a browser.

Example

In Claude Code:

You: Did my send-invoices job run last night?

Claude: Checking Crontinel… The send-invoices command ran at 02:00:14 UTC, completed in 847ms, exit code 0. Last 7 runs all successful.

How it works

1. The @crontinel/mcp-server npm package runs as a local stdio process
2. Your AI assistant spawns it on startup
3. It proxies tool calls to app.crontinel.com/api/mcp using your API key
4. Results come back inline in your chat

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• A Crontinel account with an API key (Pro or Team plan; MCP access is not available on the free plan)
• An AI assistant that supports MCP (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
