Short answer

How can my AI send me push notifications?

Your agent uses the Gotify MCP to push messages to your specific Gotify application. It turns any text it generates into a real-time notification. You'll see how the agent handles the delivery below.

Notification outcomes.

Where your alerts land.

The AI manages the communication flow based on your instructions.

INSTANT

Real-time alerts

The AI sends a message immediately. You get the notification on your device as soon as the agent finishes its task.

REMOTE

Device updates

The agent sends data to your Gotify instance. This keeps your phone or desktop updated without you needing to check a chat window.

LOGGED

Message history

Every notification sent by the AI is recorded in your Gotify instance. You can review what the agent sent at any time.

MANUAL

Human review

The AI won't decide when to notify you unless you tell it to. You stay in control of which events trigger a push.

The workflow

What your AI does when a notification is needed.

The agent handles the technical handoff between its reasoning and your Gotify instance.

  1. Identify the trigger

    Your agent determines that a specific event or piece of information warrants an alert.

    send_message

  2. Format the alert

    The AI structures the text, title, and priority level for the notification.

    send_message

  3. Execute the push

    The agent calls the specific tool to transmit the payload to your Gotify endpoint.

    send_message

  4. Confirm delivery

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI send messages to Telegram or Slack instead?

    No. This specific MCP is built only for Gotify. To use other services, you would need to connect a different MCP.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide which Gotify app to use?

    The AI uses the application token you provide in the connection. It sends messages to the specific application associated with that token.

  • 03

    Can the AI delete old notifications in Gotify?

    No. The current tools only allow the agent to send messages. It cannot manage or delete your existing notification history.

  • 04

    Will it send notifications automatically without me asking?

    The AI only acts when you give it a command or set a rule in your chat. It won't run in the background independently of your session.

  • 05

    Can I change the priority of the alerts?

    Yes. You can instruct your agent to send messages with different priority levels supported by Gotify.
