Our assessment of cronicorn
cronicorn scores 59/100 on our quality scale, 1124th of 1,267 Automation skills we index.
Its MCP Server is 4.2 KB long, split into 4 sections and no code examples: a solid amount of guidance for an agent.
It has 3 GitHub stars, so there is little community track record yet; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated about 7 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.
- Our last check on 2026-09-10 found the source still online.
- No license is declared. By default that means all rights are reserved: you can read it, but reusing or redistributing it is not clearly permitted. Ask the author before building on it commercially.
- Its trust signals score 74/100, with 3 cautions from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.
Safety scan
No issues foundOur scan of the whole file found no instruction hijacking, hidden characters, credential access, data exfiltration or destructive commands.
Automated pattern scan on 2026-09-26. It catches known dangerous patterns, not every risk — read a skill before letting an agent act on it.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I install cronicorn?
- Run
claude mcp add weskerllc -- npx -y github:weskerllc/cronicorn. The install tabs above show the steps for each supported agent. - Which AI agents does cronicorn work with?
- It is written for Claude Code and Claude Desktop, as a MCP Server file. Other agents that read the same format can often use it too.
- Is cronicorn safe to use?
- Our scan of the whole file found no instruction hijacking, hidden characters, credential access, data exfiltration or destructive commands. It declares no license and scores 74/100 on trust signals. Skills are instructions an agent will follow, so read the file before installing it and do not approve commands you do not understand.
- Is cronicorn still maintained?

HTTP jobs that understand their own responses
<p align="center"> Add endpoints, describe what matters in plain English, and the AI reads response bodies to adapt — <br/> adjusting frequency, coordinating siblings, and recovering from failures automatically </p> <p align="center"> <a href="https://cronicorn.com"> <img src=".github/images/button-start-now.png" alt="Start Now (Free)" width="250" /> </a> </p> <p align="center"> <img src=".github/images/timeline-animation.gif" alt="Cronicorn AI Adaptation" width="640"> <br> <em>Activity surge → AI tightens to 30s + triggers recovery actions → stabilizes → back to baseline</em> </p> </div> <table align="center"><tr><td>Features
- Adaptive scheduling — AI adjusts polling frequency based on real response data
- Plain English descriptions — no config files, no SDK required
- Safety constraints — min/max intervals and TTL-based hints that auto-expire
- Multi-endpoint coordination — endpoints are aware of siblings and adapt together
- Automatic error recovery — backoff, retry, and recovery actions out of the box
- Works without AI — traditional cron and interval scheduling as a fallback
How It Works
- Add an HTTP endpoint and set a baseline schedule (cron or interval)
- Describe what matters in plain English — thresholds, coordination logic, response structure
- AI monitors responses and adapts frequency, triggers actions, and recovers from failures automatically
