Pusher Channels

Overview

Pusher Channels is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Trigger events, query channels, and manage realtime messaging on Pusher Channels. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use Pusher Channels as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.

It runs locally: the npm package @crashbytes/pusher-mcp-server speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. Configuration happens through environment variables — you'll need PUSHER_APP_ID, PUSHER_KEY, PUSHER_SECRET (among others). The current release is v1.0.3, published under the MIT license, with source at CrashBytes/pusher-mcp-server on GitHub.

On mcp.site, Pusher Channels sits in the Communication category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
