The Notify Me! MCP integration lets you connect your own AI agent — like Claude, Cursor, or VS Code — to your shop and run Notify Me! in plain language. Once connected, you can ask your agent to read your reports and demand and change your settings, without clicking through the admin. This article shows you how to connect an agent. The integration is available on Plus and is currently in Beta.

Before you start

Your shop is on the Plus plan. The integration is a Plus feature; other plans see an upgrade prompt instead of the setup page.
You have an AI client that supports remote MCP servers. Setup works best today with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code (Copilot), or the Gemini CLI. Claude Desktop and ChatGPT are supported in Beta and may need extra steps.
This is a Beta feature, so it may not work fully on every client yet.

Open the integration

In your Notify Me! admin, go to Settings → Integrations and find Notify Me! MCP (it shows a Built-in and a Beta badge). Click Set up.

Create an API key

Your agent uses an API key to authenticate to your shop. On the setup page, under Create an API key, click Create API key — this takes you to your API keys page where you can generate one. Copy the key when it is shown (it is only shown once), then come back to the setup page.

You can revoke a key at any time from the API keys page.

Choose your AI client

Under Choose your AI client, pick the client you use (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, or any MCP client). The setup steps and the config to copy update for the client you select.

Add the server and your API key

Each client connects the same way: point it at the Notify Me! MCP server and send your API key in an Authorization: Bearer request header. Use the Copy button next to each field to copy the exact value, and replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you created.

Server URL: https://mcp.notify-me.app/mcp
Request header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

For example, in Claude Code you run the copied command in your terminal; in Cursor or VS Code you paste the copied config into the client's MCP settings file. Follow the numbered steps shown for your selected client.

Once connected, your agent lists the Notify Me! tools it can use for this shop.

Tips

Keep your API key secret. It authenticates your agent to this one shop. If a key is exposed, revoke it from the API keys page and create a new one.
CLI and config-based clients work best right now. Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and the Gemini CLI support the API-key header directly. Claude Desktop and ChatGPT are marked Beta because their support for a request-header key is still rolling out.
Want the full list of what your agent can do? Use the Read the API docs link on the setup page — it opens the MCP section of the Notify Me! API reference.

Troubleshooting

The setup page shows an upgrade prompt instead of the connect steps — the integration is a Plus feature. Use Upgrade to Plus or See all plans to change your plan.
Your agent can't connect or gets an authentication error — double-check the server URL is https://mcp.notify-me.app/mcp and that the Authorization: Bearer header contains a valid, non-revoked API key (not the literal YOUR_API_KEY).
Your GUI client (Claude Desktop / ChatGPT) can't add a request header — header-based keys are still in Beta on those clients. Use Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code for now.
