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.

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.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
