About
Enables scheduling and triggering reminders delivered via Slack or Telegram through natural language, using an external cron service to ensure delivery even when the server is offline.
README
A MCP server for scheduling and triggering reminders via Slack or Telegram.
Reminders are delivered even if your server is not running.
This is possible because reminders are scheduled and triggered by an external service (cron-job.org), which will send the notification to Slack or Telegram at the scheduled time, regardless of your server's status.
