Notifications FAQs

Question 1

How do AI agents trigger notifications?

Accepted Answer

AI agents trigger notifications using the `send_notification` tool. This can be done manually by explicitly asking the agent, automatically based on predefined rules (e.g., task duration), or within specific agent skills.

Question 2

What problem does Notifications solve for AI agents?

Accepted Answer

This tool solves the common problem of AI agents lacking built-in notifications. It eliminates the need to constantly check for replies, task completions, or failures, allowing agents to proactively send desktop alerts.

Question 3

Can I customize the desktop notifications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, notifications are highly customizable. You can specify the title, message, play a sound, set a custom icon, and define an `app_id` for improved system integration and branding, especially on Windows.

Question 4

How do I configure Notifications with my AI agent?

Accepted Answer

Notifications integrates as an MCP server entrypoint. You configure it in your MCP client's settings (e.g., Codex or Claude client config) by adding the `mcp-notifications` command and restarting your client.

Question 5

Is notification delivery blocking or non-blocking?

Accepted Answer

Notification delivery is non-blocking. `mcp-notifications` queues the alerts in the background, allowing the AI agent to return quickly and continue its work without waiting for the notification to be processed by the operating system.
