MCP Integration

Dashtray works seamlessly with Model Context Protocol (MCP) clients like Claude Desktop and Cline.

​
What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized way for AI agents to interact with external tools and services. Dashtray provides an MCP server that allows agents to send notifications directly from your workflows.

​
MCP Server Details

Server Name: dashtray (as registered in your client config) — the server identifies itself as dashtray v1.0.0 during the MCP handshake. Available Tools:
  • send_notification - Send notifications to your devices
Authentication: Requires Dashtray API key

​
Features

✅ Send notifications from Claude Desktop ✅ Integrate with Cline automation ✅ Custom agent support ✅ Real-time delivery

​
Quick Setup

  1. Generate an API key in your Dashtray dashboard
  2. Follow the guide for your agent:

​
Tool: send_notification

Send a notification to your device. Parameters:
  • title (string, required) - Notification title (1–200 chars, shown with an MCP - prefix in the app)
  • body (string, required) - Notification body/details (1–500 chars)
Both limits are enforced by the MCP server before the API call, so invalid input fails fast. Returns:
  • ok (boolean) - Whether the notification was sent
  • data (object) - Contains the created notification (id, title, body, createdAt)
