Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Novu MCP Server?
Connect your Novu account to any AI agent and take full control of your notification infrastructure through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Triggering & Events — Trigger single, bulk, or broadcast notifications across Email, SMS, Push, and Chat using workflow identifiers.
- Subscriber Management — Create, retrieve, update, and search for subscribers to maintain an up-to-date communication database.
- Preference Controls — Inspect and update subscriber-specific notification preferences to ensure compliance and user satisfaction.
- Workflow Cancellation — Cancel active or pending workflows, such as digests or delayed notifications, using transaction IDs.
- Tenant Context — Manage notifications within specific tenant contexts for multi-tenant applications.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Novu Secret Key
- Start triggering and managing notifications from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual API calls to test your notification flows. Your AI acts as a dedicated communications engineer.
Who is this for?
- Developers — test notification triggers and subscriber updates directly from the code editor without switching to Postman.
- Product Managers — verify workflow payloads and inspect subscriber preferences to troubleshoot delivery issues.
- Growth Teams — automate broadcast notifications for marketing campaigns through simple natural language commands.

Frequently asked questions
Can I send a notification to all my subscribers at once?
Yes! Use the trigger_broadcast tool with your workflow name. This will initiate a notification event for every existing subscriber in your Novu environment.
How do I find a subscriber if I only have their email address?
You can use the search_subscribers tool and provide the email as a parameter. The agent will return the subscriber's full profile, including their unique subscriberId.
Is it possible to stop a notification that is currently in a 'delay' or 'digest' state?
Yes. By using the cancel_trigger tool with the corresponding transactionId, you can halt any active or pending workflow execution before it reaches the final delivery.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query Novu tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
