The MCP server that provides notifications when AI agents complete long-running tasks. This allows you to leave your desktop without forgetting about tasks.
How It Works
The notify-completion-mcp-server addresses the issue of users needing to actively monitor their computer for AI task completion. By providing a notification mechanism triggered when tasks are finished, users can multitask more efficiently without repeatedly checking task status.
Installation
1. Add config to the client (If using Cline, edit cline_mcp_settings.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"notify-completion": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@nakat-t/notify-completion-mcp-server@latest"],
"env": {
"OVERDUE_COMMAND": "<Command to execute very flashy effects>",
},
"autoApprove": [ "start-timer", "check-overdue" ]
}
}
}
2. Change the config environment variables to your value.
OVERDUE_COMMAND: Write a command to notify you when the task is complete.
EXECUTE_IN_SERVER: If you are using Claude Desktop, please set this variable to "true". When using AI capable of executing commands on their own, there is no need to define this variable.
3. Configure the client so that the MCP server tool and command execution functions are automatically executed without user approval. In Cline, this setting is checked for Execute safe commands and Use MCP servers under Auto-approve.
4. Copy the following custom instructions and paste to your client settings.
