Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Gotify MCP Server?
Connect your Gotify instance to any AI agent to streamline your notification workflows. Gotify is a self-hosted notification server, and this MCP server allows you to interact with its API using natural language.
What you can do
- Messaging — Send push notifications with custom priorities and titles, or retrieve and delete existing messages from your stream.
- Application Management — Create, list, update, or delete Gotify applications to organize your notification sources and tokens.
- Client Control — Manage clients and tokens to authorize different devices or services to receive messages.
- User Administration — (Admin only) List or create users to manage access to your private Gotify instance.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Gotify URL and your Application or Client tokens
- Start sending alerts or managing your server from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — automate alerts for CI/CD pipelines or server health checks directly from the terminal.
- Developers — test notification payloads and manage app tokens without leaving the code editor.
- Home Automation Enthusiasts — bridge your AI assistant with your self-hosted notification hub.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Gotify data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 22 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
How do I send a notification to my phone using this server?
Use the send_message tool. You'll need to provide a message and a title. Ensure you have configured your GOTIFY_APP_TOKEN so the server knows which application is sending the alert.
Can I clear all messages from my Gotify stream at once?
Yes, you can use the delete_all_messages tool. This requires a valid GOTIFY_CLIENT_TOKEN to authorize the deletion of messages for that specific client.
Is it possible to create new application tokens via AI?
Absolutely. Use the create_application tool with a name and optional description. The AI will return the details of the new application, including its token.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
