README
mcp-notifications
MCP server (stdio, JSON-RPC) to send local desktop notifications from Codex or other agents.
OS requirements
- Linux (GNOME/KDE/etc):
notify-sendonPATH(typicallylibnotify-bin). If no DISPLAY/WAYLAND is available ornotify-sendfails, the server falls back togdbus(fromglib2.0-bin) and uses the session bus (DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESSor/run/user/<uid>/bus). - macOS:
osascript(preinstalled). - Windows:
powershell.exeorpwshonPATH(requires an interactive desktop session for toasts). - WSL (optional): if Linux notification paths fail, the server falls back to Windows toasts via
powershell.exe.
Build
go build -o mcp-notifications ./cmd/mcp-notifications
