listing.about

notifyd is a self-hosted notification service written in Rust that sends email, SMS, WhatsApp, push and in-app messages through one API, backed only by PostgreSQL. Its built-in MCP server lets an assistant act as the operator: read a ranked digest of findings, inspect and retry failed jobs, manage suppressions, update project settings and send test messages.

It runs as a Docker image (ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd) and serves a Streamable HTTP endpoint at /mcp on your own host. Requests need an Authorization Bearer header: the admin key gives full access, and a read-only key exposes only the read tools.

listing.can

  • Get a ranked digest of what needs attention, with actions
  • List and inspect jobs by project, channel, status or recipient
  • Retry or cancel stuck or wrong sends
  • List and update project sender identity, channels and send windows
  • Manage the suppression list with all or marketing scope
  • View sent, failed, bounced and opened metrics per template
  • Send test notifications on any channel

listing.tools

listing.notools.key

listing.prompts

  • Run the notifyd digest and tell me what needs attention.

  • List failed jobs from the last 24 hours and retry the ones that are safe.

  • Add user@example.com to the marketing suppression list.

  • Send a test email from the myapp project to me@example.com.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport stdio notifyd --env "DATABASE_URL=<YOUR_DATABASE_URL>" --env "JWT_SECRET=<YOUR_JWT_SECRET>" --env "ADMIN_API_KEY=<YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY>" -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd:0.4.0
  1. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. notifyd should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add:
claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notifyd": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-e",
        "DATABASE_URL",
        "-e",
        "JWT_SECRET",
        "-e",
        "ADMIN_API_KEY",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd:0.4.0"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URL": "<YOUR_DATABASE_URL>",
        "JWT_SECRET": "<YOUR_JWT_SECRET>",
        "ADMIN_API_KEY": "<YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Needs Docker on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.

Cursor

Add to Cursor a11y.new_tab

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notifyd": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-e",
        "DATABASE_URL",
        "-e",
        "JWT_SECRET",
        "-e",
        "ADMIN_API_KEY",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd:0.4.0"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URL": "<YOUR_DATABASE_URL>",
        "JWT_SECRET": "<YOUR_JWT_SECRET>",
        "ADMIN_API_KEY": "<YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Needs Docker on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

VS Code

Add it to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for the secret the first time and stores it securely:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "notifyd": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-e",
        "DATABASE_URL",
        "-e",
        "JWT_SECRET",
        "-e",
        "ADMIN_API_KEY",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd:0.4.0"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URL": "${input:database-url}",
        "JWT_SECRET": "${input:jwt-secret}",
        "ADMIN_API_KEY": "${input:admin-api-key}"
      }
    }
  },
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "database-url",
      "description": "DATABASE_URL",
      "password": true
    },
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "jwt-secret",
      "description": "JWT_SECRET",
      "password": true
    },
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "admin-api-key",
      "description": "ADMIN_API_KEY",
      "password": true
    }
  ]
}

Needs Docker on your computer.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notifyd": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-e",
        "DATABASE_URL",
        "-e",
        "JWT_SECRET",
        "-e",
        "ADMIN_API_KEY",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd:0.4.0"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URL": "<YOUR_DATABASE_URL>",
        "JWT_SECRET": "<YOUR_JWT_SECRET>",
        "ADMIN_API_KEY": "<YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.

Codex

codex mcp add notifyd --env "DATABASE_URL=<YOUR_DATABASE_URL>" --env "JWT_SECRET=<YOUR_JWT_SECRET>" --env "ADMIN_API_KEY=<YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY>" -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd:0.4.0

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.notifyd]
command = "docker"
args = ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd:0.4.0"]
env = { DATABASE_URL = "<YOUR_DATABASE_URL>", JWT_SECRET = "<YOUR_JWT_SECRET>", ADMIN_API_KEY = "<YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY>" }

Needs Docker on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add -e "DATABASE_URL=<YOUR_DATABASE_URL>" -e "JWT_SECRET=<YOUR_JWT_SECRET>" -e "ADMIN_API_KEY=<YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY>" notifyd docker -- run -i --rm ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd:0.4.0

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notifyd": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-e",
        "DATABASE_URL",
        "-e",
        "JWT_SECRET",
        "-e",
        "ADMIN_API_KEY",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd:0.4.0"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URL": "<YOUR_DATABASE_URL>",
        "JWT_SECRET": "<YOUR_JWT_SECRET>",
        "ADMIN_API_KEY": "<YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

Needs Docker on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/notifyd into my MCP client?

No. notifyd runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd:0.4.0.

Does notifyd need an API key?

Yes. It reads DATABASE_URL, JWT_SECRET and ADMIN_API_KEY from its environment, and DATABASE_URL, JWT_SECRET and ADMIN_API_KEY are secrets. Put the value in your client's config on your own machine, never in a shared file.

Is notifyd a remote or a local server?

Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/rmzlb/notifyd:0.4.0, which needs Docker.

What can notifyd do?

You can get a ranked digest of what needs attention, with actions, list and inspect jobs by project, channel, status or recipient and retry or cancel stuck or wrong sends.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read notifyd's public metadata (its package and repository pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
