Cron Parser API

br0ski777/cron-parser-x402

If you're working with scheduled tasks and need to decode cron syntax on the fly, this server handles the parsing and validation for you. It takes cron expressions and explains what they mean in plain terms, validates whether they're properly formed, and calculates upcoming execution times. The server runs as a hosted service over SSE and uses x402 micropayments, so you'll need compatible tooling to connect. Useful when you're debugging automation scripts, building scheduling interfaces, or just trying to figure out what `*/15 3-5 * * 1-5` actually does without opening another tab.
