README
Claude Scheduler
Claude Scheduler is a cross-platform desktop application for scheduling tasks that run using [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code). Configure prompts to execute on a repeating schedule, attach MCP servers for external tool access, and review rich run history with collapsible tool-call transcripts -- all from a single native UI.

Features
- Scheduled prompts -- set a start time and repeat interval (minutes, hours, or days) and Claude Scheduler runs your prompt automatically.
- Run Now -- trigger any job immediately without waiting for the next scheduled time.
- MCP server management -- add HTTP or stdio MCP servers globally, then selectively assign them to individual jobs.
- Rich run output -- each run records a full transcript with colour-coded thoughts, collapsible tool calls, and a summary section.
- Markdown prompts -- write prompts in Markdown; they render inline in the job detail view.
- Background operation -- runs in the system tray with native OS notifications on job completion or failure.
- Cross-platform -- builds for Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Creating a new job
Configure a name, schedule, prompt (Markdown supported), and optionally assign MCP servers whose tools should be available during execution.

Managing MCP servers
Add HTTP or stdio-based MCP servers. Each server can then be assigned to one or more jobs.
