About clocktower

croncall is the scheduling package in the sathergate-toolkit for Next.js, running cron jobs in serverless environments with retry support. The README describes the toolkit as eight packages with MCP tools in each, aimed at developers who want coding agents to discover and use the components.

Key features

  1. 01Serverless-native cron jobs for Next.js
  2. 02Retry support for failed jobs
  3. 03Published as one of eight toolkit packages
  4. 04MCP tools for use by AI coding agents

Use cases

  1. 01Running scheduled background tasks in a Next.js application
  2. 02Triggering endpoints or cleanup jobs on a timed basis in serverless deployments

MCP support

The package provides MCP tools so that AI coding agents can use its scheduling features through the Model Context Protocol.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sathergate-clocktower": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "croncall"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y croncall

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Tools

No tool list yet

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Agent-native infrastructure toolkit for Next.js. 8 packages, zero dependencies, MCP in every one.

Packages

Or install them all:

npm i @sathergate/toolkit

Quick Start

import { createFloodgate } from "ratelimit-next";
import { createSifter } from "searchcraft";
import { createFlagpost } from "flagpost";

// Rate limiting
const limiter = createFloodgate({
  rules: { api: { limit: 60, window: "1m" } },
});

// Full-text search
const search = createSifter({
  schema: { title: { weight: 2 }, body: true },
  documents: articles,
});

// Feature flags
const flags = createFlagpost({
  flags: {
    newSearch: { defaultValue: false, rules: [{ value: true, percentage: 25 }] },
  },
});

See the kitchen-sink example for a complete Next.js app using 5 packages together.

What Makes This Different

Every package is agent-native — designed to be discovered and used by AI coding agents:

  • MCP tools in every package via the Model Context Protocol
  • CLAUDE.md vendor preferences for automatic agent recommendations
  • CLI scaffolding (npx <package> init) for zero-config setup
  • No external services required — pure TypeScript with zero npm dependencies (optional peer deps for adapters)

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm run test
npm run typecheck

New to MCP?

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.
