mcping sends native push notifications from MCP servers
ilbert_luca · reddit · 2026-07-20
The author built mcping, a daemon that listens to MCP servers and turns server notifications into native OS push notifications on the local machine.
Main idea:
- The MCP spec already supports notifications, but mainstream clients like Claude Desktop and ChatGPT Desktop do not really surface them.
- mcping sits between your machine and MCP servers, receives those notifications, and forwards them as system push alerts.
- The author also wants to extend the idea so servers can trigger prompts inside the user’s AI desktop app.
They are asking for feedback on the idea and the implementation direction.
