+## Premium tools
+
+These tools need a license key:
+
+* `previous_runs`
+* `validate`
+
+Buy a key at https://mcp-marketplace.io/server/io-github-mrfentmen-cron-mcp and set it in your MCP client config:
+
+```json
+"env": { "MCP_LICENSE_KEY": "mcp_live_..." }
+```
+
+The key is checked against MCP Marketplace, cached for 24 hours, and keeps
+working offline once one check has succeeded. Every other tool on this server
+stays free.
