Pusher Channels for Real-Time Event Management
With this Connector, you just tell your agent to send the event. It handles the heavy lifting of constructing the correct data and sending it across the right channels. You get instant feedback in your chat window, making the test-fix-test cycle much faster.

Before you connect
Questions about Pusher.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use the Pusher Channels MCP to send notifications?
Yes, you can use it to trigger custom events across your channels. Your agent can send specific data payloads to notify your users in real time.
How do I see who is currently online in a room?
You can ask your agent to list the users in a specific presence channel. It will return the IDs of everyone currently connected to that room.
Can I kick a user off my app using this?
Yes, you can tell your agent to terminate all active connections for a specific user ID. This is useful for security incidents or forced logouts.
Is this good for testing my websocket events?
It's perfect for testing. You can trigger events with custom data without needing to manually click buttons in the Pusher dashboard or build a frontend first.
How do I find all my active channels?
You can simply ask your agent to list all channels. It will pull the current list of active channels from your Pusher infrastructure.
Can I send multiple events at the same time?
Yes, you can use a batch event command. This allows your agent to send a group of events in a single request, which is more efficient for complex flows.
Can I send the same event to multiple channels at once?
Yes. The trigger_event capability 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 capability 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 capability allows you to close all active WebSocket connections for a specific user ID immediately.
