Frequently asked questions
Cron Tools is categorized under Developer Tools and uses an install path we have not confirmed yet. Git belongs to Other Tools and Integrations and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Cron Tools for developer tools work and Git for other tools and integrations.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client. Cron Tools has no confirmed install command yet — follow its own setup instructions.
Cron Tools has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Git is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add cron-tools and git as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
