# MCP Integration

> Connect Claude, Cline, and other agents to Dashtray

# 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](/authentication#generate-a-new-key) in your Dashtray dashboard
2. Follow the guide for your agent:
   * [Claude Desktop](/integration/claude-desktop)
   * [Cline](/integration/cline)
   * [Cursor](/integration/cursor)

## 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`)

**Example:**

```json theme={null}
{
  "title": "Build Complete",
  "body": "Your build succeeded in 2m 45s"
}
```
