README

Cron Pi Plugin

Pi package port of the legacy dex-claude-plugin, renamed for Pi as cron.

Cron schedules one-time or recurring agent jobs. This Pi version registers a TypeScript extension that starts the upstream scheduler MCP stdio server with npx -y dex-claude-plugin and exposes its tools in Pi with a cron_ prefix and Cron-oriented aliases.

Install

pi install npm:@fingerskier/pi-cron
# local workspace clone
pi install ./packages/pi-cron
# one run only
pi -e npm:@fingerskier/pi-cron

Tools

Run cron_mcp_status in Pi to list loaded tools. Expected tools include:

  • cron_add_job
  • cron_remove_job
  • cron_list_jobs
  • cron_run_jobs
  • cron_complete_job

Configuration

  • CRON_MCP_AUTOLOAD=0 disables startup MCP discovery.
  • CRON_MCP_COMMAND=/path/to/server overrides npx (no args unless your command handles them).
  • DEX_MCP_COMMAND is accepted as a legacy fallback override during migration.

Skill

/skill:cron loads scheduling workflow guidance.
