Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mrfqcentic/mcp-notify"

  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add notify -- npx -y @mrfqcentic/mcp-notify

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

Common questions

Is MCP Notify safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.1) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

mcp-notify

Minimal MCP server that plays a notification sound and shows a system banner on your computer whenever your AI agent finishes a task or needs your attention.

Works with any MCP client: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, opencode, Cline, and more. One 3-line config, no API keys, no network calls — it only touches your local audio and notification facilities.

Install

Add to your client's MCP config (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor / VS Code mcp.json, or opencode config):

"mcpServers": { "mcp-notify": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@mrfqcentic/mcp-notify"] } } }

(opencode users: same shape under the mcp key with "type": "local" and "command": ["npx", "-y", "@mrfqcentic/mcp-notify"].)

Requires Node.js >= 20.

Make the agent call it

Add one line to your AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md / system prompt:

When a task is done or the user should be alerted, call the `notify` tool with a short title and a 1–2 sentence description of the result.

Tools

`notify`

Plays the sound and shows a banner. The agent always supplies title (max 50 chars) and message (max 200 chars).

Param	Required	Description
`title`	yes	Short banner title, e.g. "Build finished"
`message`	yes	1–2 sentence description, e.g. "All 142 tests passed"
`sound`	no	Absolute path to any audio/video file with audio (mp4, m4a, mp3, wav, aiff)

`list_sounds`

Lists available sounds and the currently selected default.

Choosing your sound

Resolution order:

NOTIFY_SOUND env var — absolute path, explicit and deterministic
A file in the sounds/ folder whose name starts with default (your pin)
First audio file in the sounds/ folder (alphabetical — notify-me.mp3 ships here as the bundled default)
The generated chime in assets/
The system sound (macOS Glass.aiff, Linux bell.oga)

Tip: rename or copy your favorite sound to sounds/default.mp3 (or set NOTIFY_SOUND) to make it stick.

The bundled sounds/notify-me.mp3 was generated with ElevenLabs under a commercial license.

"mcpServers": { "mcp-notify": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@mrfqcentic/mcp-notify"], "env": { "NOTIFY_SOUND": "/absolute/path/to/your-sound.mp3" } } } }

Tip: MP4 files with an audio track work too (macOS afplay reads the audio stream).

Platforms

OS	Sound	Banner
macOS	`afplay` (tested)	`osascript` (tested)
Linux	`ffplay` / `mpg123` / `paplay` / `aplay` fallback chain (best effort)	`notify-send` (best effort)
Windows	PowerShell `MediaPlayer` (best effort)	PowerShell `NotifyIcon` balloon (best effort)

Any CI env value makes sound and banner playback no-ops (set automatically in CI workflows) so the test suite can run on machines without audio.

Development

npm install

npm run typecheck npm test # builds, then runs the e2e suite (sound + banner fire locally)
