# Show HN: Cronloop, run Claude Code or Codex on a schedule > Source: > Published: 2026-08-18 16:31:41+00:00 [NewManage your agents from ChatGPT and Claude](/mcp) # AI agents that run in a loop. Cronloop keeps AI agents running for you, from every five minutes to once a week. Describe the job in plain Markdown, pick Codex or Claude Code, then watch each run live. Every agent keeps a memory between runs. CodexClaude CodeRuns with your subscriptions or provider API keys. ### 1Give your agent instructions ## Create specialized agents in minutes An agent is whatever you describe in Markdown. You can create agents for sales, support, growth, engineering, and more. ### Book outbound demos “Book qualified demos in our ICP with high-touch email from its own inbox, every 30 minutes.” ### Resolve support tickets “Respond to support tickets by reading our support docs, replying over email, and escalating anything sensitive to a human, every 5 minutes.” ### Grow organic traffic “Lift search rankings by reading fresh Search Console data and shipping measured content updates to our CMS, every morning.” ### Turn issues into pull requests “Open pull requests by picking up the next assigned issue and writing the fix and the tests, every hour.” ### Automate social content “Grow our social following by turning our content calendar into on-brand posts for every channel, three times a day.” ### Track your competitors “Watch our competitors by reading their changelogs, pricing pages, and launches, and posting a digest to Notion, twice a day.” If you can write the job description, you can run the agent. ## Any tool. Any API. Any skill. Every run starts in a fresh sandbox where your agent can install whatever the job needs. Connect the software your team already uses, or add a skill from the catalog. If it has an API, MCP, or CLI, your agent can use it. ## Run Cronloop from ChatGPT or Claude Your agents are also reachable from the assistant you already talk to. Add one address, approve it once, and ask for a new agent, a fresh run, or a post-mortem on last night's failures without opening a dashboard. - 1 ### Add the address Open the connector settings in Claude, ChatGPT, or any other MCP client and add Cronloop as a custom connector. - 2 ### Approve the connection Sign in to Cronloop and approve access. It is a standard OAuth sign-in, so there is no key to copy, paste, or keep safe. - 3 ### Ask for what you need Your assistant now speaks to Cronloop directly. Ask it in plain language and it does the work in your account. Cronloop's address `https://app.cronloop.ai/v1/mcp` Works with any MCP client that supports remote servers, including Claude and ChatGPT. Set up an agent that answers new Zendesk tickets from our help docs every 5 minutes and escalates anything sensitive to me. `agents_create` Support triage, every 5 minutes`secrets_set` Zendesk token stored, write-only`runs_start` First run started`runs_get` Answered 6 tickets, escalated 1 Support triage is live. Its first run answered 6 tickets from your help docs and escalated one refund request to you. It will keep running every 5 minutes. ### Agents Create an agent, rewrite its instructions, change its schedule, then pause, resume, or delete it. `agents_list` `agents_get` `agents_create` `agents_update` `agents_pause` `agents_resume` `agents_delete` ### Runs Start a run on demand, follow it to the end, cancel it, and review what recent runs actually did. `runs_start` `runs_list` `runs_review` `runs_get` `runs_cancel` ### Settings and secrets Add the settings and credentials a job needs.
