Meow Notifier

What is Meow Notifier?

Meow Notifier is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that sends notifications to one or more configured nicknames. It supports multiple nickname formats, provides detailed send results, and can be used either as an MCP server or run directly via npx.

How to use Meow Notifier?

Set the MEOW_NICKNAMES environment variable with nickname(s) in JSON array, comma-separated, or single-nickname format. Then run with npx meow-notifier or configure it as an MCP server in your client (e.g., mcpServers). Use the send_notification tool to send messages to all configured nicknames at once.

FAQ from Meow Notifier

How to configure multiple nicknames?

Set the MEOW_NICKNAMES environment variable either as a JSON array (e.g., ["nickname1","nickname2"]) or as a comma-separated string (e.g., nickname1,nickname2). Both formats are supported.

How to install and run Meow Notifier?

You can run it directly with npx meow-notifier after setting MEOW_NICKNAMES, or install it globally with npm install -g meow-notifier and run meow-notifier. It can also be configured as an MCP server in your client’s mcpServers block.

What kind of result feedback do I get after sending a message?

The tool returns a detailed result showing how many nicknames succeeded/failed, with per-nickname success responses or error messages. For example: Send complete: 2/3 successful followed by individual statuses.

What configuration pitfalls should I watch out for?

You must configure at least one nickname. In JSON format, double quotes inside the string must be escaped. Comma-separated format automatically trims whitespace. If all nicknames fail, the tool returns an error status.

Can I use Meow Notifier without an MCP client?

Yes. You can run it directly with npx meow-notifier or after a global install, provided the MEOW_NICKNAMES environment variable is set.
