ActivitySmith MCP
Send Push Notifications and Live Activities to your paired iOS devices.
โ labsco summary โ our analysis, not the vendor's
What it is โ An MCP server that lets AI agents send push notifications and drive Live Activities and Lock Screen widgets to your paired iPhone and iPad, for developers and small teams wanting real-time backend visibility.
What you get
- Alert your phone โ "Send a push notification to my devices when the deploy finishes" (Push Notifications to paired devices or channels).
- Live task progress โ "Start a Live Activity showing job progress on my Lock Screen, then update and end it" (Live Activities).
- Lock Screen metrics โ "Create a widget metric and update its value" (Lock Screen widgets).
- Manage the account โ "List my channels, devices, API keys, and notification history."
Requirements โ Account required; connects over OAuth (approve once in the browser), no API keys pasted into prompts. Remote MCP server URL is the same in every client.
Cost snapshot โ Free trial includes 100 real backend events, no credit card. Cheapest paid tier is Developer at $9/mo (unlimited pushes/Live Activity updates, up to 2 iOS devices).
Setup effort โ In Claude Code run claude mcp add --transport http activitysmith https://mcp.activitysmith.com/mcp, then /mcp to complete OAuth.
Our take โ A clean way to turn agent runs, cron jobs, and incidents into iPhone alerts without wiring push infra yourself; it is iOS-only, so Android users are out.
