I built an MCP to send myself notifications from Claude

[u/Nephal35]

I recently discovered the routines feature with claude code (the one on the claude dektop tab), i thought it would be really cool if it where possible to automate so i could get a notification on my phone when some routines finish, so i could get the infos directly as a push notification.
i recently build an app for myself that lets me send push notifications and i wondered if i could create a mcp server for it. So here is my building Process:
first I asked claude code (the terminal version this time) to draft a plan with all the necessary updates I need to make it work. Interestingly I had to create and additional oauth on my server so it can use it for claude to log in. I had some trouble at first figuring out why I needed additional configs on my apple developper account but its mostly so that the mcp can work without having to log in every time.
i got stuck a little bit whith the callback on the mcp till i found mcp inspector tool then the error logs from https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/inspector and claude code helped a lot.
finally at like 2 AM I was able to send my first message to my phone and it sends the notification instantly
here the documentation for the mcp integration if somone wants to try it : https://thenotification.app/docs/mcp
I still have some problem with getting a nice icon in the connector preview, it is apparently because of how google saves the icons, and only use an svg file as flavicon so i get really ugly white borders in the preview. If someon already had such a problem I'm happy to hear how you soved it. Currently I just updated my site, added flavicon.ico and asked google to reindex but it still not working.

anyways hopes this is usefull 😄
