Ntfy MCP Overview

The teddyzxcv/ntfy-mcp MCP server sends notifications to a configured ntfy topic when an AI assistant completes a task. It runs locally as a Node.js application and exposes a `notify_user` tool over MCP. Configure `NTFY_TOPIC`, subscribe to the same topic in the ntfy phone app, and explicitly ask the assistant to notify you when its work is done. The README documents setup with Cline and does not describe other client configurations.
