ActivitySmith MCP Server

Your AI models and agents can use our official MCP server to send you Push Notifications and Live Activities in a simple and secure way.

Connect to it natively from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any other client that supports remote MCP servers. Your agent authenticates once through OAuth and then uses ActivitySmith tools directly, without copying API keys into prompts or running a local bridge.

There is nothing to host or update on your side. The server runs on our infrastructure, speaks standard MCP over Streamable HTTP, and includes tools for sending Push Notifications, managing Live Activities, Lock Screen Widget metrics, channels, and API keys.

What Agents Can Do

The first set of tools focuses on the ActivitySmith workflows agents are already useful for:

• Send Push Notifications to your paired devices.
• Start, update, and end Live Activities on your iPhone, like showing a live progress on your Lock Screen while the agent works through a task.
• List the history of your Push Notifications and Live Activities.
• Create widget metrics and update metric values for your Lock Screen widgets.
• Create, list, update, and delete channels.
• List account users and devices for channel assignment.
• Create, list, update, and delete API keys.

Setup Instructions

The server URL is the same in every client:

https://mcp.activitysmith.com/mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http activitysmith https://mcp.activitysmith.com/mcp

Then run /mcp once you have opened a Claude Code session to go through the authentication flow.

Cursor

Install in Cursor with one click.

If you prefer manual setup, add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

1
{
2
  "mcpServers": {
3
    "activitysmith": {
4
      "url": "https://mcp.activitysmith.com/mcp"
5
    }
6
  }
7
}

Cursor prompts you to log in the first time the server is used.

Codex

codex mcp add activitysmith --url https://mcp.activitysmith.com/mcp

Then authenticate:

codex mcp login activitysmith

Approve the OAuth screen in your browser, restart Codex, and the ActivitySmith tools will be available in new sessions.

Other MCP Clients

For any client that asks for a remote MCP server URL, use:

https://mcp.activitysmith.com/mcp

The authorization flow happens in ActivitySmith. After approval, tools run against the account you authorized.

You can always find the latest setup details on the MCP Server integration page.
