Notifex for Claude Code: Let Claude Ask You Before It Acts

Before you start

1. Install Notifex on your iPhone, sign in and allow notifications.
2. Create a project. Copy the secret key: it is shown once.

Add the MCP entry

Claude Code reads project MCP servers from a .mcp.json file in your project. Add the Notifex entry, with your key in place of <YOUR_API_KEY>:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notifex": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.notifexapp.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or add it from the terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http notifex https://mcp.notifexapp.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"

Run /mcp inside Claude Code to check that notifex is connected. Claude then sees the six Notifex tools: send_message, ask_question, ask_questions, wait_for_answer, check_answer and create_upload.

Ask your first question

Tell Claude when to ask, in plain words. For example: "Before you deploy, ask me with Notifex which build to ship." Claude calls ask_question, your iPhone gets a push, and Claude waits. Pick an option or type a reply, and Claude continues with your answer.

Tips for long runs

• Batch related questions. ask_questions sends up to 10 in one push, so you answer one checklist.
• Send a note when done. send_message is a one-way update, such as "Deploy finished".
• Share the team. In a team project every member gets the push, and the first answer wins.

• Does Claude Code wait for my answer?

  Yes. ask_question and ask_questions block until a person answers, and Claude carries on with your reply.

• Can Claude send me a screenshot or a log?
