Installing

Using with Cursor

Method 1: Install Globally

Fill in the form:
- Name: Pushover Notification (or any name you prefer)
- Type: command
- Command: npx -y pushover-mcp@latest start --token YOUR_TOKEN --user YOUR_USER

Method 2: Project-specific Configuration

Add an .cursor/mcp.json file to your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pushover": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "pushover-mcp@latest",

Using the Tool

Once configured, the Pushover notification tool will be automatically available to the Cursor AI Agent. You can:

The tool will be listed under Available Tools in MCP settings
Agent will automatically use it when relevant
You can explicitly ask Agent to send notifications

By default, Agent will ask for approval before sending notifications. Enable "Yolo mode" in settings to allow automatic sending.
