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 (version 14 or higher) installed
- If running locally: uv installed
- SendGrid account with verified single sender email address
- Cron-Job.Org account
Installation
Installing via Smithery
To install CronGrid automatically via Smithery (example for Claude Desktop):
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. 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)
