Message MCP makes your AI collaboration more efficient!
🧑: Make a Tetris web game, notify when completed.
🤖: I'll start making the Tetris game
...
💬: Message MCP executed, message sent.
Tip
- Allow MCP auto-execution in client settings.
- Add "notify when completed" prompts in user rules or rule files to avoid repetitive manual prompts.
⚡️ Quick Installation
Supports cloud installation via smithery.ai (e.g., SaaS services like Dify) and offers one-click local deployment. Since the Message MCP actually runs on smithery.ai’s cloud, desktop notifications are not yet supported. End-to-end encryption is applied throughout to ensure data security. Learn more

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
