Ntfy MCP Server

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE (Selects the HTTP transport), NTFY_SERVERS (JSON array of `{ baseUrl, authToken? | authUsername?+authPassword? }` entries — one per ntfy server. First entry is the default base. Auth is scoped to the entry's `baseUrl`; per-call `base_url` overrides that match a registered base forward that server's auth. Takes precedence over the single-server NTFY_BASE_URL / NTFY_AUTH_* shorthand), NTFY_BASE_URL (Single-server shorthand — base URL of the ntfy server (no trailing slash). Used when NTFY_SERVERS is unset), NTFY_DEFAULT_TOPIC (Topic used when a tool call omits `topic`. Treat the topic name as a secret — anyone who knows it can publish or subscribe), NTFY_AUTH_TOKEN (Bearer access token (`tk_…`) for the single-server shorthand. Mutually exclusive with NTFY_AUTH_USERNAME / NTFY_AUTH_PASSWORD), NTFY_AUTH_USERNAME (Basic-auth username for the single-server shorthand — must be set together with NTFY_AUTH_PASSWORD), NTFY_AUTH_PASSWORD (Basic-auth password for the single-server shorthand — must be set together with NTFY_AUTH_USERNAME), NTFY_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-attempt HTTP timeout in milliseconds, covering the response body. Each call is also capped at 50 s across all attempts), NTFY_MAX_RETRIES (Max retry attempts for transient upstream failures (5xx, network, 429)), NTFY_BLOCK_PRIVATE_HOSTS (When true, a per-call `base_url` override must resolve to a public address and its redirects are not followed. Servers registered under NTFY_SERVERS / NTFY_BASE_URL are exempt. Turn it on where callers you do not control can reach the server), NTFY_ENABLE_EMOJI_TAGS (Set to false to disable the ntfy_search_emoji_tags tool: it leaves tools/list, and the server instructions and ntfy_publish_message stop pointing at it), MCP_SESSION_MODE (HTTP session model: 'auto', 'stateful', or 'stateless'. This server requires 'stateful' over HTTP — the consent prompt on destructive and outbound calls is a multi-round-trip request that a 2025-era HTTP client can only complete over a live session — so an HTTP start with 'stateless' is refused. 'auto' resolves to 'stateful'; stdio ignores the setting), MCP_HTTP_HOST (The hostname for the HTTP server), MCP_HTTP_PORT (The port to run the HTTP server on), MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH (The endpoint path for the MCP server), MCP_AUTH_MODE (Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'), MCP_REQUEST_STATE_KEY (Recommended for HTTP. Key (>= 32 bytes, the same on every instance) that seals the requestState carrying the consent-record id of a confirmation prompt, bound to the caller for 900 s; a forged, tampered, or expired state is rejected before the handler runs), MCP_LOG_LEVEL (Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn')), LOGS_DIR (Directory for file-based logs (Node only; ignored on Workers)), OTEL_ENABLED (Enable OpenTelemetry instrumentation (spans, metrics, completion logs)).
