Pushover Notifications MCP Server

Pushover Notifications is a Model Context Protocol implementation that enables AI agents to send notifications to your devices through Pushover.net. This integration allows AI assistants to notify you about important events, task completions, or any information that requires your attention. With this MCP, AI agents can send customized notifications with different priority levels, sounds, and even include URLs. It's perfect for staying informed about AI-driven processes without having to constantly check in on them.

Example Interaction

You can ask the AI agent to send you notifications like:

"Notify me in 30 minutes about the meeting"
"Send an urgent notification to remind me about the deadline"

The agent will use the Pushover MCP to deliver these notifications to your devices.
