# CronGrid — an MCP server scheduling SendGrid Cron Jobs! [](https://smithery.ai/server/@chaser164/crongrid-mcp) ## Description This MCP server enables LLMs to POST, GET, and DELETE cron jobs that schedule email sends via SendGrid. ## Prerequisites - Claude Desktop (or another MCP server-compatible LLM interface of your choice) installed on your local machine - If using Smithery: [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download) (version 14 or higher) installed - If running locally: [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) installed - [SendGrid](https://sendgrid.com/en-us) account with verified single sender email address - [Cron-Job.Org](https://cron-job.org/en/) account ## Installation ### Installing via Smithery To install CronGrid automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@chaser164/crongrid-mcp) (example for Claude Desktop): ```bash npx -y @smithery/cli install @chaser164/sendgrid-cronjob-mcp --client claude ``` ### Installing Manually - Open your terminal or command line. - Run `git clone https://github.com/chaser164/sendgrid-cronjob-mcp.git` - Add the below to your MCP server-compatible interface of choice (e.g., `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`) ``` { "mcpServers": { "cronjob_email_mcp": { "command": "/path/to/uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/path/to/sendgrid-cronjob-mcp", "run", "email-schedule-send-mcp-server.py" ], "env": { "SENDGRID_API_KEY": "<SendGrid API key>", "CRONJOB_API_KEY": "<Cron-Job.Org API key>", "FROM_EMAIL": "<SendGrid verified single sender email>" "TZ": "<timezone value>", } } } } ``` **NOTE**: timezone environment variable values must be chosen from [this list](https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ref_timezones.asp). The default timezone value is `UTC`. ## Usage - Ask your LLM to create, get, and delete scheduled emails - This MCP also has the ability to get the current date/time to enhance its scheduling capabilities - If a "to email" is not specified, the mcp will send an email to yourself (e.g., "remind me to dance" will send an email to the specified SendGrid sender identity's email address) ## License This project is licensed under the MIT License. ## Contributions Contributions are welcome.
