What is AlertMCP?+
AlertMCP (also written Alert MCP) is an MCP server for AI agent notifications. Once it is connected, your agent can send you a push notification, ask you a question with answer buttons or a typed reply, and wait for your response — on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux and the web. It works with Claude Code, Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and any other MCP client.
How do I add the AlertMCP MCP server?+
Sign in to get an API key, then add the remote MCP server https://api.alertmcp.com/mcp to your client with the header "Authorization: Bearer <your key>". In Claude Code that is one command: claude mcp add --transport http alertmcp https://api.alertmcp.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer amcp_sk_…". ChatGPT and claude.ai connect over OAuth with the same URL.
What tools does the AlertMCP server give my agent?+
Five: notify sends a one-way alert, ask asks a question with 2–4 buttons, ask_text asks for a typed reply, get_answer waits for the reply, and list_topics shows your topics and their delivery rules.
What is MCP, and why use it for notifications?+
The Model Context Protocol is the open standard AI agents use to call tools. AlertMCP is an MCP server, so any agent that supports MCP can notify you without custom code. The model decides when you should be told.
How is this different from ntfy or Pushover?+
Those are great general push services. AlertMCP is built only for agents: a two-way ask that waits until you reply, live progress, priority levels that models understand, and an MCP-first setup. You can still forward alerts to ntfy if you like it.
Will my agent spam me?+
No. You set rate limits, quiet hours and a minimum priority for each topic. Repeated alerts are grouped together, and progress updates change one notification instead of sending many.
What happens if I don’t answer an ask in time?+
Every workspace sets a max response time — from 5 minutes to 24 hours, with per-topic overrides. When it runs out, the agent is told nobody answered, continues with the first (safest) option, or the ask escalates to your team’s admins. You choose which. A live countdown shows on every client.
Can my team share one inbox?+
Yes. Create a team workspace and invite people by email or link as admins, members or viewers. Agents using that workspace’s key reach everyone, and you can switch between your personal and team workspaces on web, iOS, Android, macOS and Windows.
Can the relay read my notifications?+
The relay has to read an alert to deliver it, so AlertMCP is not end-to-end encrypted. Everything travels over HTTPS, alert text and replies are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, and we never sell your alerts or use them to train AI. Push notifications carry the title and body to your phone through Firebase or Apple. If you want nobody else to hold your alerts, self-host the relay once it ships.
Does it work with my own agent or framework?+
Yes. Use it as an MCP server over stdio or HTTP, or skip MCP and POST https://api.alertmcp.com/v1/alerts from any language. It works with LangGraph, the Claude Agent SDK, n8n, cron jobs and shell scripts.
Is it really free to self-host?+
Yes. Self-hosting is coming soon, and when it ships the server, the MCP package and all client apps will be MIT licensed. The paid cloud only pays for hosting and support.
