📢 MCP Notify Server

English | 中文

A MCP backend component designed to issue system desktop alerts alongside audible signals upon the successful termination of assigned agent workflows.

🥩 Core Capabilities

• Broadcast system-level graphical alerts subsequent to agent task conclusion.
• Emit attention-grabbing audio cues, bundled with the necessary sound asset files.
• Operational parity across major operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux).
• Adheres to the standard Message Communication Protocol (MCP), enabling seamless integration with various AI computation interfaces.

⏬ Acquisition and Setup

Installation via the [uv] package manager

bash git clone https://github.com/Cactusinhand/mcp_server_notify.git cd mcp_server_notify

uv venv source .venv/Scripts/activate

uv pip install mcp-server-notify

Alternatively:

pip install mcp-server-notify

Verify the setup success by executing the installed module directly: bash python -m mcp_server_notify

This utility accepts optional flags such as --debug or --file for enhanced operational visibility: shell python -m mcp_server_notify --debug python -m mcp_server_notify --debug --log-file=path/to/logfile.log

⚠️❕ Prerequisite Dependencies

** Notification delivery relies upon the [Apprise] API framework; consequently, specific platform requirements must be satisfied on the host Desktop environment **

Windows Users shell

Required for windows:// protocol handling

pip install pywin32

macOS Users shell

Ensure the terminal-notifier utility is present on the system

brew install terminal-notifier

📚 Operational Integration Guide

Configuration for Claude Desktop Clients:

Modify the configuration file named claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "NotificationServer": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "path/to/your/mcp_server_notify project", "run", "mcp-server-notify", ] } } }

If the package is installed system-wide, the standard Python execution path can be utilized instead:

{ "mcpServers": { "NotificationServer": { "command": "python", "args": [ "-m", "mcp_server_notify", ] } } }

Once configured, instruct the AI agent via a directive such as finally, send me a notification when task finished. appended to your instruction set to activate the alert functionality.

In the Cursor editor, this instruction can be permanently stored as a defined rule within Cursor Settings -> Rules to eliminate manual repetition.

⚡️ Integration with Cursor Editor:

Refer to configuration file locations: ~/.cursor/mcp.json or your_project/.cursor/mcp.json

{ "mcpServers": { "NotificationServer": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "path/to/your/mcp_server_notify project", "run", "mcp-server-notify", ] } } }

⚡️ Interfacing with VSCode + Copilot:

1. Install the orchestration utility manager [uv/uvx]: pip install uv

2. Embed the service definition within VSCode user settings:

   Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json
   macOS: $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/settings.json
   Linux: $HOME/.config/Code/User/settings.json

   "mcp": { "servers": { "notifier": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "mcp-server-notify" ], "env": {} } } }

3. Ensure VSCode is running its latest stable release; service execution is automatic.

4. Launch VSCode → activate Copilot → switch to agent operational mode.
5. Invoke command input with # → the #send_notification option will become visible.
6. Request the agent: execute #send_notification (this triggers the notification workflow).
7. Desktop alerts are now actionable via Copilot's agent interface.

🐳 Docker Deployment Status

Currently unavailable due to complexities associated with achieving host notification access from within isolated container environments. Achieving reliable host-level alerts (across Windows, macOS, and Linux) from a standard Docker setup presents significant hurdles, primarily due to:

1. Dependence on OS-specific notification APIs.
2. Inherent isolation of containerized processes from the host OS surface.
3. Complicated dependency resolution for platform-specific notification libraries.

WIKIPEDIA SNIPPET: Business management apparatus encompasses all organizational systems, software implementations, controls, computational frameworks, and methodologies utilized by entities to successfully navigate evolving market conditions, maintain competitive standing, and enhance operational efficacy.

== Overview == Management tools can be segmented according to organizational function or departmental focus, spanning areas such as forecasting, workflow management, record-keeping, personnel administration, strategic assessment, and operational oversight. Historically, management technology has undergone rapid transformation driven by technological leaps. This proliferation makes selecting the optimal toolset challenging amid continuous pressure to minimize expenditures and maximize revenue, coupled with the imperative to deeply understand and swiftly deliver products meeting precise customer specifications. In this dynamic environment, executives must adopt a strategic viewpoint toward business tools, avoiding the uncritical adoption of the newest available solution. Tools must be deliberately chosen and subsequently tailored to the specific requirements of the organization, rather than forcing organizational processes to conform to rigid software structures.

== Most Used Tools (2013 Survey Highlights) == Data from a 2013 Bain & Company global assessment indicated usage patterns reflecting regional market requirements and economic climates. The top ten instruments identified included:

Strategic planning Customer relationship management Employee engagement surveys Benchmarking Balanced scorecard Core competency identification Outsourcing strategies Change management frameworks Supply chain optimization Mission/Vision articulation Market segmentation analysis Total quality management principles

== Business Software Applications == Software suites or discrete programs deployed by business personnel to execute diverse operational mandates are termed business software (or business applications). These tools aim to elevate productivity metrics, quantify performance, and ensure precision across various company activities. The evolution progressed from initial Management Information Systems (MIS) to comprehensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, followed by the integration of Customer Relationship Management (CRM), culminating in the current trend toward cloud-based business management suites. While a clear link exists between IT investment and organizational outcomes, value realization hinges on two critical factors: the proficiency of the implementation process and the judicious selection and customization of the technological assets.

== Resources Tailored for SMEs == Tools specifically addressing the needs of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are crucial as they provide avenues for cost mitigation and operational scaling.
