macOS Notify
Enables AI assistants to send native macOS notifications with clickable tmux session focusing.
About
macOS Notify is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to empower AI assistants, such as Claude, with the ability to send rich, native macOS notifications. Beyond simple alerts, these notifications offer deep integration with tmux, allowing users to click a notification and automatically focus a specific tmux session, window, and pane. This streamlines workflows by providing direct navigation from an AI-generated alert to the relevant terminal context, enhancing productivity for developers and power users.
