Pushary Agent Skill

Push notifications and human-in-the-loop for AI agents. Approve from your phone.

Try an approval without signing up → connect an open phone page → approve or decline → see the agent continue or stop. This browser demo uses polling and temporary state, not real push delivery or the production ledger.

The skill and adapters are MIT-licensed. Hosted phone delivery requires a Pushary account; embedding approvals for your own users requires Partner access. The two framework examples also run locally with simulated answers and no credentials.

Your AI agent finishes a 20-minute refactor while you're making coffee. Without Pushary, you'd never know until you checked back. With Pushary, you get a push notification on your phone the moment it's done - or a question on your lock screen when the agent needs a decision. It's the tool behind "keep going, ping me on my phone if you need anything".

Pushary is a hosted service: $9.99/mo after a 3-day card-first trial. It works with Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Hermes, Lovable, or any MCP client, and it does not need a Claude Max subscription. If you run Claude Code with Claude Max, Anthropic Remote Control covers that one setup for free. Pushary covers what it does not: Codex, Cursor, Claude Code without Max, a cross-agent fleet, enforced policy gating, lock screen answer buttons, and an audit trail of every question and answer.

How It Works

AI Agent  ->  MCP Protocol  ->  Pushary API  ->  Push Notification  ->  Your Phone

Pushary is an MCP server that connects your AI coding agent to push notifications. The agent calls Pushary's tools over the Model Context Protocol, and you receive notifications instantly on any device.

Three question types - yes/no confirmations, multiple choice, and free text input. Your agent picks the right one for the situation.

Rich context notifications - agents can include file changes, error details, and suggested next steps in a detail page you see when tapping the notification.

Agent identification - when you run multiple agents, each notification shows which agent is asking so you always know what you're responding to.

Permission hooks - route Claude Code's tool approval prompts through push notifications so you can approve or deny from your phone.

Personal setup: phone first

Run the pairing setup in your agent's terminal:

npx @pushary/agent-hooks@latest setup

Install Pushary on your phone, scan the QR or open the printed link, compare the fingerprints, and approve. Setup then configures the selected agent's tools, supported hooks and skill. You do not need to copy an API key first. Personal accounts require a plan; the current offer is $9.99/mo after a 3-day card-first trial. Existing credentials are reused.

Verify setup:

npx @pushary/agent-hooks@latest doctor

Ask your agent for one harmless test question. Confirm the intended device receives it and the answer returns to the same task.

For Hermes specifically:

npx @pushary/agent-hooks@latest setup --agents hermes

This installs the native plugin in Hermes' interpreter and configures it. The plugin provides notification, question, wait, cancel and scope tools, plus Partner enrollment and customer-question tools. Its parameters use snake_case; use the Hermes skill, not MCP parameter names. The native approval transport preserves Hermes' session and standing approvals.

Mac notch and other answer surfaces

Install Pushary for Mac, sign in with the same personal account and connect your agents from the app. The notch provides confirm, choice, text and question-set controls with keyboard support. Keep the app running for presence and delivery; verify one harmless question there, then phone fallback while away from the Mac.

Delivery follows your settings and presence. push_first uses presence, push_only requests push every time, notify_only keeps decisions in the current client, and terminal_only avoids push. A successful API call alone does not prove a device displayed the request.

Partner setup: your own customers

Personal pairing connects you, the operator. Partner integrations enroll each of your application's customers through a scoped connection link and address decisions using your stable customer ID. Customers use the mobile enrollment flow; do not route their approvals to your personal Mac inbox or share an operator API key.

Start with the Partner integration guide, then a Mastra agent example, AI SDK example or LangGraph example. Tools choose confirm, choice or text. Approving an action and supplying an answer are different operations; a text answer saying “yes” is not permission to execute another tool.

Browser and manual fallbacks

For browser pairing:

npx @pushary/agent-hooks@latest setup --connect browser

For a client that needs manual MCP configuration, obtain your key in the Pushary dashboard and configure:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pushary": {
      "url": "https://pushary.com/api/mcp/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Keep the key private. Install the skill with npx skills add Pushary/pushary-skill if the client supports skills.sh. Manual MCP provides cooperative questions and notifications; enforced approvals require the supported host hooks/runtime integration.

Claude Code users can alternatively install this repository as a plugin:

/plugin marketplace add Pushary/pushary-skill
/plugin install pushary

That path reads PUSHARY_API_KEY from the environment. Pick one installation path: installing the plugin on top of CLI-installed Claude hooks can run hooks twice. Use npx @pushary/agent-hooks@latest clean before switching paths.

Setup: Lovable

Lovable is a hosted app builder, so there is no local install step (npx skills add does not apply). You connect the MCP server in Lovable's UI, then paste the skill into Lovable's Knowledge so the agent uses it on its own.

1. Connect the MCP server. In Lovable, go to Settings -> Connectors -> Personal connectors (paid Lovable plans), click New MCP server, set the URL to https://pushary.com/api/mcp/mcp, choose Bearer token, and paste your API key (pk_xxx.sk_xxx).

2. Add the skill to Knowledge. Lovable cannot install skills via npx, so paste the skill guidance into Settings -> Knowledge. Use the condensed SKILL-LITE.md as the source. This makes the Lovable agent notify you when a build finishes and ask before risky changes, without you prompting each time.

Lovable gets notifications and questions only (no enforced gate, since it has no permission hook). Full walkthrough: Lovable guide.
