Bring Cross Device Sync
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect Pushbullet to VS Code Copilot and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Pushbullet MCP Server?
Connect your Pushbullet account to any AI agent and take full control of your cross-device notification and file orchestration through natural conversation. Pushbullet provides a powerful platform for bridging the gap between your phone, tablet, and computer, and this integration allows you to send notes, links, and ephemeral messages directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Push & Notification Orchestration — Send instant notes, links, and addresses to individual devices or your entire network programmatically.
- Device Lifecycle Management — List all associated devices and retrieve detailed metadata, including creating new device profiles directly from the AI interface.
- Contact & Subscription Control — Access and monitor your Pushbullet contacts and channel subscriptions via natural language to keep your communications synchronized.
- Ephemeral Messaging Intelligence — Send real-time ephemeral messages for clipboard syncing and SMS bridging using simple AI commands.
- Operational Monitoring — Track push history and manage system metadata to ensure your notification workflows are always optimized.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Pushbullet Access Token from your account settings
3. Start managing your cross-device pushes from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual copy-pasting between devices or missing mobile notifications. Your AI acts as a dedicated notification manager or device coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Power Users & Developers — quickly send snippets and URLs between development machines and mobile devices without switching apps.
- Operations Teams — automate the delivery of system alerts to specific team member devices via natural conversation.
- Support Coordinators — streamline the retrieval of contact metadata and monitor device availability directly within the chat.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically send a link to my phone from my computer?
Yes! Use the create_push tool with type 'link'. Provide the URL and optionally a device_iden (or leave blank to push to all), and your agent will deliver the link instantly.
How do I find the identifier (iden) for a specific device?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_devices action. It will retrieve the full list of your associated phones, tablets, and browsers along with their unique iden codes.
How do I find my Pushbullet Access Token?
Log in to your Pushbullet account on the web, navigate to the Settings page, and click 'Create Access Token' under the Account section.
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.
