Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 61 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name 402cron.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 16 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 58 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 61 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    2 of 2 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Pass
    Stable tool list

    No tool was removed and no required parameter was added in the last 30 days.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    28 of 28 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 16

create_task

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.

Discovered
delete_destination

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

Discovered
delete_task

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.

Discovered
get_docs

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

Discovered
get_pricing

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.

Discovered
get_service_status

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.

Discovered
get_task

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

Discovered
list_destinations

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

Discovered
list_tasks

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

Discovered
pause_task

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

Discovered
register_destination

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.

Discovered
restore_task

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

Discovered
resume_task

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

Discovered
run_task_now

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.

Discovered
update_task

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.

Discovered
verify_destination

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.
