Send, manage, and replay ntfy push notifications via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP.

4 Tools • 1 Resource

Tools

Four tools covering the ntfy publish/subscribe surface — message lifecycle (publish, manage, fetch) plus an emoji-tag lookup that feeds the publish tool's tags field:

Tool Name	Description
`ntfy_publish_message`	Send or update a push notification on an ntfy topic.
`ntfy_manage_message`	Clear or delete a previously-sent notification by `sequence_id`.
`ntfy_fetch_messages`	Poll cached messages from one or more topics with optional filters.
`ntfy_search_emoji_tags`	Look up ntfy emoji tag short codes for use in `tags`.

`ntfy_publish_message`

Send or update a push notification on an ntfy topic. Topics are created on first publish — treat the topic name as a secret because anyone who knows it can publish or subscribe.

Full publish-parameter coverage — title, priority (1–5), tags, click, attach, icon, filename, markdown, delay, email, call, cache, firebase
Up to three discriminated action buttons (view, broadcast, http, copy) per message
Update or replace previously-sent messages by passing the original sequence_id
Per-call base_url override that forwards credentials only when the override matches a registered server (NTFY_BASE_URL or an NTFY_SERVERS entry); otherwise the request goes out unauthenticated, so credentials never leak to alternate hosts

`ntfy_manage_message`

Clear (mark read & dismiss) or delete a previously-sent ntfy notification by sequence_id. Append-only — the original message stays in cache, and a message_clear / message_delete event is emitted to subscribers. Idempotent.

`ntfy_fetch_messages`

Poll cached messages from one or more topics with optional filters. Returns a snapshot, not a live stream — use it to confirm delivery, replay missed alerts, or audit topic activity.

Comma-separated multi-topic queries (e.g. alerts,backups,phil_alerts)
Filter by since (duration / timestamp / message ID / all / latest), priority, tags, id, title, message, scheduled-only
Default window 10m, default limit 20 messages per response, hard cap 100
Long bodies truncated to ~500 chars with messageTruncated reporting the dropped count

`ntfy_search_emoji_tags`

Substring search over the bundled ntfy emoji-tag reference. Returns the tag strings ready to plug into ntfy_publish_message's tags field. Without a query, returns the first slice of the full reference.

Resources and prompts

Type	Name	Description
Resource	`ntfy://{topic}`	Snapshot of a topic — last 20 messages from the past 1 hour, plus the topic's browser URL.

ntfy_fetch_messages covers the same topic data with custom windows and filters when the resource's fixed defaults aren't enough.
