## Description

Securely connect your AI agents and chatbots (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc) with Cronly MCP or direct API to monitor cron job failures, check SSL certificate expiry, review server alerts, and inspect crontab backups through natural language.

## Summary

Cronly is an operations monitoring service for cron jobs, SSL certificates, servers, and crontab backups.
It helps teams catch failures and expiry risks early with clear operational alerts.

## Categories

- developer tools & devops

## Toolkit Details

- Tools: 10

## Images

- Logo: https://logos.composio.dev/api/cronly

## Authentication

- **Api Key**
  - Type: `api_key`
  - Description: Api Key authentication for Cronly.
  - Setup:
    - Configure Api Key credentials for Cronly.
    - Use the credentials when creating an auth config in Composio.

## Suggested Prompts

- List failed cron jobs today
- Check SSL certificates expiring soon
- Summarize active Cronly server alerts

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CRONLY_CREATE_CERTIFICATE` | Create Certificate Monitor | Create an SSL/TLS certificate-expiry monitor for a hostname and port. |
| `CRONLY_CREATE_MONITOR` | Create Monitor | Create a cron-job heartbeat monitor and return its ID and sensitive pulse token. |
| `CRONLY_CREATE_PROJECT` | Create Project | Create a project for organizing Cronly monitors and certificate checks. |
| `CRONLY_DELETE_CERTIFICATE` | Delete Certificate Monitor | Permanently delete an SSL/TLS certificate monitor by numeric ID. |
| `CRONLY_DELETE_MONITOR` | Delete Monitor | Permanently delete a cron-job monitor by numeric ID. |
| `CRONLY_DELETE_PROJECT` | Delete Project | Permanently delete a Cronly project by numeric ID. |
| `CRONLY_GET_COMPANY` | Get Company | Return safe organization, timezone, and subscription-summary fields for the connected Cronly account without exposing billing or integration secrets. |
| `CRONLY_GET_RESOURCE` | Get Resource | Get one monitor, project, certificate, user, server, or backup by its resource identity. |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute Cronly Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Cronly actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'List Cronly cron jobs that failed in the last 24 hours and summarize the alerts'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'List Cronly cron jobs that failed in the last 24 hours and summarize the alerts'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK for Python or TypeScript
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Initialize Client and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize the Composio client, then create a Tool Router session for Cronly
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${session.mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent (Anthropic Claude or Mastra)
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Cronly tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Check Cronly for SSL certificates expiring in the next 14 days')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: session.mcp.url,
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key',
    },
  },
});

const tools = await client.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Check Cronly for SSL certificates expiring in the next 14 days'
  }],
  maxSteps: 5,
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
```

## Why Use Composio?

### 1. AI Native Cronly Integration

- Supports both Cronly MCP and direct API based integrations
- Structured, LLM-friendly schemas for reliable cron, SSL, server, and backup monitoring workflows
- Rich coverage for reading, querying, and acting on Cronly operational alert data

### 2. Managed Auth

- Secure API key handling without hard-coding Cronly credentials in your agent code
- Central place to manage, scope, and revoke Cronly access
- Per user and per environment credentials, so staging and production stay cleanly separated

### 3. Agent Optimized Design

- Tools are tuned using real error and success rates to improve reliability over time
- Clear Cronly tool schemas help agents pick the right action for failed jobs, expiring certs, and server alerts
- Comprehensive execution logs so you always know what ran, when, and on whose behalf

### 4. Enterprise Grade Security

- Fine-grained RBAC so you control which agents and users can access Cronly
- Scoped, least privilege access to Cronly monitoring resources
- Full audit trail of agent actions to support incident review and compliance
