Notification Chimes▌

## Overview A Model Context Protocol server that allows AI agents to play notification sounds when tasks are completed. This TypeScript-based MCP server provides a simple, configurable notification system with **bundled sounds that work out of the box** with npx! ## ✨ Features ### 🔧 Tools - `play_notification` - Play a notification sound to indicate task completion - Takes an optional `message` parameter to display with the notification - Supports cross-platform sound playback (Windows and macOS) - **Works with bundled sounds** - no manual downloads required! ### 🎵 Built-in Sound Library **5 high-quality notification sounds bundled with the package:** - `cosmic` - Space-themed notification 🌌 - `fairy` - Magical, whimsical tone 🧚‍♀️ - `gentle` - Soft, pleasant default sound (default) 🔔 - `pleasant` - Balanced, professional tone 📞 - `retro` - Nostalgic, vintage-style notification 🕹️ - `random` - Randomly plays one of the 5 sounds 🎲 ## 🚀 Quick Start ### Option 1: Use Bundled Sounds (Recommended) ⭐ Just run it with npx - sounds included! ```json { "mcpServers": { "notifications": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@pinkpixel/notification-mcp"] } } } ``` ### Option 2: Choose a Different Bundled Sound ```json { "mcpServers": { "notifications": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@pinkpixel/notification-mcp"], "env": { "MCP_NOTIFICATION_SOUND": "cosmic" } } } } ``` ### Option 3: Random Sound Each Time 🎲 ```json { "mcpServers": { "notifications": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@pinkpixel/notification-mcp"], "env": { "MCP_NOTIFICATION_SOUND": "random" } } } } ``` ### Option 4: Use Your Own Custom Sound ```json { "mcpServers": { "notifications": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@pinkpixel/notification-mcp"], "env": { "MCP_NOTIFICATION_SOUND_PATH": "C:\path\ o\your\sound.mp3" } } } } ``` ## ⚙️ Configuration The notification sound can be configured using environment variables: ### Environment Variables | Variable | Description | Default | |----------|-------------|---------| | `MCP_NOTIFICATION_SOUND` | Choose from bundled sounds: `cosmic`, `fairy`, `gentle`, `pleasant`, `retro`, `random` | `gentle` | | `MCP_NOTIFICATION_SOUND_PATH` | Absolute path to your own MP3 file (overrides bundled sounds) | `null` | ### Priority Order 1. **Custom Path** (`MCP_NOTIFICATION_SOUND_PATH`) - highest priority 2. **Bundled Sound** (`MCP_NOTIFICATION_SOUND`) - choose from 5 included sounds 3. **Default** - gentle chime if nothing is specified ## 💻 Usage Once configured, your MCP client can call the `play_notification` tool: ```typescript await client.request({ method: "tools/call", params: { name: "play_notification", arguments: { message: "Task completed successfully! 🎉" } } }); ``` ## 🛠️ Development ### Local Development Setup ```bash # Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/pinkpixel-dev/notification-mcp.git cd notification-mcp # Install dependencies npm install # Build the server npm run build # For development with auto-rebuild npm run watch ``` ### Local Development Configuration ```json { "mcpServers": { "notifications": { "command": "node", "args": ["./build/index.js"], "env": { "MCP_NOTIFICATION_SOUND": "retro" } } } } ``` ### Debugging Use the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector) for interactive debugging: ```bash npm run inspector ``` The Inspector provides a web interface to test your MCP server in your browser. ## 📦 Installation Methods ### NPX (Recommended) No installation required - sounds are bundled automatically: ```bash npx @pinkpixel/notification-mcp ``` ### Global Install ```bash npm install -g @pinkpixel/notification-mcp notification-mcp ``` ### Local Install ```bash npm install @pinkpixel/notification-mcp npx notification-mcp ``` ## 🎵 Sound Files All sound files are located in the `sounds/` directory and are automatically included when you install the package: - Cosmic: `sounds/cosmic_chime.mp3` - 🌌 Space-themed - Fairy: `sounds/fairy_chime.mp3` - 🧚‍♀️ Magical - Gentle: `sounds/gentle_chime.mp3` - 🔔 Default (soft) - Pleasant:`sounds/pleasant_chime.mp3` - 📞 Professional - Retro: `sounds/retro_chime.mp3` - 🕹️ Vintage - Random: Set `MCP_NOTIFICATION_SOUND=random` - 🎲 Surprise me! ## 🤝 Contributing We welcome contributions!
