ActivitySmith MCP Server

Give AI models and agents a direct line to your iPhone

SERVER URL


https://mcp.activitysmith.com/mcp

PROTOCOL

modelcontextprotocol.io

Overview

Connect the official ActivitySmith MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any other client that supports remote MCP servers. Your agent authenticates once through OAuth and can then send Push Notifications and trigger Live Activities on your iPhone and iPad, without copying API keys into prompts.

What agents can do

Push Notifications

Send Push Notifications to your paired devices or targeted channels.

Live Activities

Start, update, and end Live Activities on your iPhone, like live task progress on your Lock Screen.

Lock Screen widgets

Create widget metrics and update metric values for your Lock Screen Widgets.

Channels and history

Manage channels, list account users and devices, manage API keys, and list the history of your Push Notifications and Live Activities.

Setup instructions

The server URL is the same in every client. Approve the OAuth screen in your browser once, and the ActivitySmith tools become available in new sessions.

Claude Code


claude mcp add --transport http activitysmith https://mcp.activitysmith.com/mcp

Then run /mcp inside a Claude Code session to go through the authentication flow.

Cursor

Install in Cursor with one click. If you prefer manual setup, add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:


{

  "mcpServers": {

    "activitysmith": {

      "url": "https://mcp.activitysmith.com/mcp"

    }

  }

}

Cursor prompts you to log in the first time the server is used.

Codex


codex mcp add activitysmith --url https://mcp.activitysmith.com/mcp

Then authenticate:


codex mcp login activitysmith

Other MCP clients

For any client that asks for a remote MCP server URL, use https://mcp.activitysmith.com/mcp. The authorization flow happens in ActivitySmith. After approval, tools run against the account you authorized.
