Tools
3| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| count | integer | No | How many upcoming run times to return. 1-25, default 5. |
| timezone | string | No | IANA timezone name, for example "UTC", "America/New_York", or "Europe/Berlin". Cron expressions carry no timezone of their own, so this decides when the schedule actually fires. Defaults to UTC. |
| expression | string | Yes | A standard five-field cron expression: "minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week", for example "0 9 * * 1-5". Accepts *, numbers, ranges (9-17), lists (1,15), steps (*/5), three-letter month and day names (JAN, MON), and the @daily, @hourly, @weekly, @monthly, @yearly macros. A six-field expression is accepted and its leading seconds field is reported as non-standard. |

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
