Notifications

Notifications is an MCP server that provides native macOS notification delivery with direct Notification Center integration and interactive features. It connects AI assistants like Claude Desktop or Cursor to macOS system-level alert mechanisms, allowing automated workflows and large language models to trigger desktop notifications directly on a user's machine. Software developers, system administrators, and automation engineers use it to receive immediate alerts when long-running AI tasks, local code builds, automated tests, or background data processing pipelines finish executing. Instead of requiring users to continually monitor terminal windows or client chat interfaces, the server delivers system banner alerts, alerts requiring action, or persistent updates through the standard macOS interface. This integration enables language models to proactively notify operators of task completion, warn of detected errors in code execution, or prompt for human input during multi-step processes, fitting naturally into local macOS productivity environments.
