MCP-Pushover Bridge

MCP-Pushover Bridge is an MCP server that enables AI assistants to send push notifications to mobile devices via the Pushover service. It connects Model Context Protocol clients like Claude Desktop to the Pushover API, providing developers and automated workflows with instant mobile alerts. Users who run background scripts, heavy data analysis tasks, or scheduled automations can utilize the server to receive updates on task completion, error warnings, or system notices directly on their iOS or Android phones. The bridge supports key Pushover features, including configurable message priorities ranging from silent alerts to emergency notifications requiring acknowledgment, custom notification sounds, message titles, and built-in exponential backoff retries. Credential handling is managed through environment variables or tool parameters using Pushover API tokens and user keys.
