What is Windows Notify MCP?

Windows Notify MCP is a notification service specifically designed for the Windows system. It allows AI assistants (such as Claude) to send notifications to your Windows desktop via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This means that when you're chatting with an AI assistant, it can proactively remind you of important events, such as task completion, meeting reminders, or new message notifications.

How to use Windows Notify MCP?

It's very easy to use: First, configure the MCP server in Claude Desktop. Then, the AI assistant can send notifications to you through two main tools. You can receive basic notifications or interactive notifications with action buttons. All notifications can be customized with titles, contents, icons, and sounds.

Use cases

This service is particularly suitable for scenarios that require timely reminders, such as: • Automatic notification when a long - running task is completed • Reminders before meetings or appointments • Notifications of system status changes (e.g., download completion) • Interactive reminders that require user confirmation or selection • Daily reminders and to - do list notifications

Main features

Basic notification
Send standard Windows desktop notifications, including a title and message content. It supports custom icons and sounds. You can set whether to wait for user interaction.
Interactive notification
Send notifications with action buttons. Users can click the buttons directly on the notification to make selections and implement simple interactive functions.
Custom sound
Supports playing custom audio files as notification sounds. You can set a default sound file or specify a sound for each notification individually.
Icon support
You can add custom icons to notifications, supporting multiple image formats such as PNG, JPG, and ICO, making notifications more intuitive and personalized.
Advantages
Easy to use: After one - time configuration, the AI assistant can directly send notifications without additional operations.
Highly customizable: Supports custom icons, sounds, and buttons to meet the needs of different scenarios.
Natively integrated: Uses the Windows native notification system for a smooth and natural experience.
Highly interactive: Supports action buttons to implement simple user interactions.
Flexible sound control: You can fully control whether to play sounds and what sounds to play.
Limitations
Only available on Windows systems: Can only be used on the Windows operating system.
Requires Claude Desktop: Must be configured and used through Claude Desktop.
Depends on the MCP protocol: You need to understand basic MCP configuration concepts.
Limited notification styles: Limited by the Windows notification system, there are limitations in style customization.

How to use

Installation and building
First, you need to install project dependencies and build the project. Use the package manager pnpm for installation and building.
Configure Claude Desktop
Add the MCP server configuration to the Claude Desktop configuration file. Windows users need to edit the configuration file located at %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json.
Configure environment variables (optional)
If you need to set the default notification sound, you can add environment variables to the configuration. Then all notifications will use this default sound (unless specified otherwise).
Restart Claude Desktop
After saving the configuration file, restart the Claude Desktop application for the configuration to take effect.
Start using
After configuration is complete, you can ask the AI assistant to send notifications during the conversation. The AI assistant will automatically use the configured tools.

Usage examples

Task completion reminder
When the AI assistant finishes a long - running task (such as data processing or file conversion), it automatically sends a notification to remind the user.
Meeting reminder
Based on the schedule, the AI assistant sends a reminder notification before a meeting starts. You can add a custom icon to enhance recognition.
Interactive confirmation
When the user needs to confirm an operation, a notification with action buttons is sent, and the user can make a selection directly on the notification.
Custom sound notification
Set a unique sound for a specific type of notification, allowing users to identify the notification type by sound.
