This MCP server exposes [ActivitySmith](https://activitysmith.com/) notifications and live activity tools.
Connect MCP Activitysmith to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. This MCP server exposes ActivitySmith notifications and live activity tools. The mcp activitysmith mcp server is what makes that connection.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Notes — The Notes tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Configuration is passed through the environment: API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. MCP Activitysmith's toolset — Notes — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by stumpyfr; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
