Send, manage, and replay ntfy push notifications via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP.
Send, manage, and replay ntfy push notifications via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP. Exposed over MCP by the ntfy mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
ntfy_publish_message — Send or update a push notification on an ntfy topicntfy_manage_message — Clear or delete a previously-sent notification by sequence_idntfy_fetch_messages — Poll cached messages from one or more topics with optional filtersntfy_search_emoji_tags — Look up ntfy emoji tag short codes for use in tagsPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverInstallation — The Installation tool exposed by this serverBeing a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
You will need 7 environment variables: MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE, MCP_LOG_LEVEL, NTFY_DEFAULT_TOPIC, NTFY_BASE_URL, NTFY_AUTH_TOKEN, MCP_HTTP_HOST, MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
ntfy.sh requires no account; self-hosted instances and protected topics may need a bearer token or basic-auth credentials.Plenty of file and storage access servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Ntfy's toolset — ntfy_publish_message, ntfy_manage_message, ntfy_fetch_messages and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by cyanheads; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
