What is the Pusher Channels MCP Server?
Connect your Pusher Channels infrastructure to any AI agent to orchestrate real-time messaging and monitor your application's pub/sub health through natural language.
What you can do
- Event Broadcasting — Trigger single or batch events across multiple channels with custom JSON payloads to update your frontend instantly.
- Channel Monitoring — List all active channels, filter by prefix, and fetch specific metadata like subscription counts or user counts.
- Presence Management — Retrieve lists of user IDs currently subscribed to presence channels to understand real-time engagement.
- Session Control — Terminate all active WebSocket connections for a specific user ID to handle security incidents or forced logouts.
- State Inspection — Query the detailed state of any specific channel to debug message flow or connection metrics.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your Pusher App ID, Key, Secret, and Cluster
- Start broadcasting events and managing connections from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more jumping into the Pusher Debug Console to manually trigger test events or check if a channel is active. Your AI acts as a real-time infrastructure operator.
Who is this for?
- Full-stack Developers — trigger test events and verify webhook payloads directly from the code editor.
- DevOps Engineers — monitor channel activity and user counts without opening the Pusher dashboard.
- Support Teams — quickly identify if a user is connected to a presence channel or terminate problematic sessions.
Built-in capabilities (6)
Fetch information for a specific channel
Fetch users in a presence channel
Fetch multiple channels
Terminate all connections for a user
Trigger multiple events in a single batch
Max 10KB data payload. Trigger an event on one or more channels

Frequently asked questions
Can I send the same event to multiple channels at once?
Yes. The trigger_event tool accepts an array of channel names (up to 100) to broadcast your message simultaneously across your infrastructure.
How do I check which users are currently online in a presence channel?
Use the list_channel_users tool with the specific channel name (must start with presence-). It will return a list of all active user IDs.
Is it possible to force a user to disconnect?
Yes. The terminate_user_connections tool allows you to close all active WebSocket connections for a specific user ID immediately.
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 Pusher Channels 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.
