Pushover Notifications
Send push notifications to your devices and groups via the Pushover API.
Runs on your machine from its package; the steps are below.
What it does
- Reads
- Writes
- High impact
At most: moves money, runs code or commands, deletes data, or sends messages for you.
What it costs
FreeOdel charges nothing per call. The publisher may charge for its own service.
Runs locally over stdio
This server isn't hosted — your MCP client launches it from a package registry. Use one of the commands below, or drop the config into your client (e.g. Claude Desktop).
Run
docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/joshuawowk/pushover-mcp:1.0.0
MCP client config
{
"mcpServers": {
"pushover-notifications": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"ghcr.io/joshuawowk/pushover-mcp:1.0.0"
]
}
