Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

One MCP server exposing every tool in the Gumball portfolio.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • cron_explain

    Translate a cron expression into plain English, list upcoming run times in a timezone, and report the gotchas that make schedules misfire: day-of-month/day-of-week OR semantics, steps that do not divide evenly, impossible dates, and daylight-saving shifts. Prefer this over reason

  • cron_build

    Convert an English schedule description into a cron expression. Rule-based, not a language model: it refuses phrases outside its grammar rather than guessing, and reports which words it did not use so you can tell whether it read you correctly. WHY DELEGATE THIS: Cron has counter

  • cron_next_runs

    Lists the next run times for a cron expression in a specific timezone, with no prose. Use it when the only question is "when does this next fire" — whether a job runs before a deadline, or what a user's upcoming schedule looks like. Do not compute these dates unaided: weekday ari

  • json_to_types

    Convert a JSON sample into TypeScript interfaces and a matching Zod schema. Merges EVERY array element into a union rather than typing from the first, keeps optional and nullable distinct, and emits unknown with a warning for empty containers instead of inventing a shape. Read th

  • regex_explain

    Explain a regular expression in plain English and detect catastrophic backtracking. ALWAYS call this before putting a pattern where it will run against untrusted input: (a+)+$ looks harmless and takes minutes of CPU on a failing 30-character input. Also flags missing anchors, une

  • timezone_convert

    Convert a wall-clock time between IANA zones. Returns null when the local time DOES NOT EXIST because a daylight-saving jump skipped it, and both candidates when it happens twice. Rejects ambiguous abbreviations — most runtimes accept "BST" and silently resolve it to Bangladesh (

  • color_analyse

    Convert a colour between hex, RGB, HSL, OKLCH, CMYK, and CSS names, and derive complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary and monochromatic harmonies. Harmonies are rotated in OKLCH, not HSL, so they keep their perceived lightness instead of one looking washed out. Re

  • vocab_draw

    Draw words-in-context practice questions from a curated bank. The response deliberately contains NO answers and NO explanations, so you can quiz someone without leaking them — call vocab_check for the answer and the reason each distractor fails. Pass a seed to make a set reproduc

  • vocab_check

    Mark an attempt and get the teaching content: whether it was right, which option was correct, why it fits, and why EVERY distractor fails. Read the distractor reasons out even when the learner was right — knowing why the tempting option was tempting is the part that transfers. WH

  • body_metrics

    Compute BMI, energy expenditure, and protein targets from height and weight. Height and weight MUST carry units — a bare number is REFUSED rather than guessed, because a unit mix-up produces a plausible-looking answer that is badly wrong. Returns every standard BMR formula plus t

  • due_date

    Estimate a due date from a last menstrual period, a known conception date, an IVF transfer, or an ultrasound measurement. Gestational age is counted from the LAST PERIOD, not conception: at "6 weeks pregnant" conception was about 4 weeks ago. Applies the cycle-length adjustment m

  • round_cash_total

    Settle a transaction: exact subtotal, tax computed on that exact subtotal, then round the final total to the nearest nickel — and ONLY for cash. Card, EFT and gift-card payments stay priced to the cent, so the same basket legitimately comes to two amounts. Rounding applies to the

  • rounding_impact

    Compute the mean rounding delta per cash transaction across a price list. Answers "does rounding make retailers money" with arithmetic rather than a guess: symmetric rounding nets to essentially zero by construction. Pass always-up to quantify the "just round everything up" idea,

  • price_band

    For a list price and a tax rate, finds every nearby list price that settles to the SAME cash total, and the highest one. Use it for "what should I charge" and "can I price to gain from rounding" questions. There is exactly one free move here and it is easy to get backwards, which

  • offside

    Returns a verdict plus every step taken. THREE verdicts, not two: offside, onside, and no-offside-offence — the last is real and common, because in soccer an offside POSITION is not an offence without involvement in active play. Soccer: hands and arms never count (boundary at the

  • offside_rule_contrast

    Returns the structural differences between soccer offside and hockey offside, one dimension at a time. Use it when someone asks how the two compare, and — more usefully — before reasoning about one sport using an intuition from the other, which is the commonest way to get either

  • check_digit_run

    Checks the check digit on an IBAN (ISO 7064 MOD 97-10), ISBN-10, ISBN-13, EAN-13, UPC-A, or a Luhn-checked card number. When the checksum fails it searches for the single substitution or adjacent transposition that would repair it, so the answer is which character to fix rather t

  • amortize_schedule

    Returns the full row-by-row schedule: per-period interest, scheduled principal, any extra principal, PMI, payment and running balance. Handles monthly or daily accrual (daily needs a start date, so leap years follow from the calendar rather than an assumption), biweekly payments,

  • iso_week_run

    Converts calendar dates to ISO 8601 week-numbering dates and back, in either direction, and reports how many weeks an ISO year has. Use it whenever a date must be expressed as a week number or a week number turned back into a date — sprint planning, reporting periods, "week 37" s

  • validate_json

    Validates a JSON document and reports every problem in one pass with a 1-based line and column, a stable rule code and a fix hint. Reports the three things JSON.parse cannot: duplicate keys (accepted by every parser, which then disagree about which value wins), integer precision

  • validate_yaml

    Validates a YAML document, including the values that mean different things to different loaders — found by resolving each unquoted scalar under both spec versions and comparing, not by matching a list of words. In YAML 1.1 (PyYAML) the bare words no/yes/on/off/y/n are booleans, s

  • validate_xml

    Validates XML for well-formedness, namespace correctness and entity-based attacks. Catches four classes of invalid XML that ordinary well-formedness checkers accept: two root elements, undeclared namespace prefixes (well-formed as raw XML and rejected by XPath, XSLT, SOAP and eve

  • validate_csv

    Validates CSV against RFC 4180 and reports ragged rows individually with both field counts, because "row 4813 has 6 fields, the header has 5" is the entire answer. A ragged row loads without complaint almost everywhere — pandas pads or throws by engine, Excel shifts the columns,

  • validate_auto

    Detects whether a payload is JSON, YAML, XML or CSV, then validates it. Use it for a file with no extension, a clipboard paste, or a response body with an unhelpful content type. Detection is structural and the reason is always returned, so the assumption is visible: a leading "<

  • equation_steps_run

    Solves a linear or quadratic equation in one variable and returns every step: expanding parentheses, combining like terms, moving terms across the equals sign, and applying the quadratic formula with the discriminant stated. Reports identities and contradictions as such rather th

Common questions

Is Project Gumball safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
