Pusher Channels

2authSTDIOregistry active

Summary

Gives Claude direct access to Pusher Channels for realtime messaging. You get seven tools covering the main operations: trigger single or batch events, list active channels with prefix filtering, query subscription and user counts, fetch presence channel users, generate auth tokens for private channels, and terminate user connections. Authentication requires your Pusher app credentials from the dashboard. Useful when you want Claude to send notifications to connected clients, monitor channel activity, or manage websocket connections without writing custom API wrappers. The batch trigger endpoint lets you send up to 10 events in one call for efficiency.

cd pusher-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

Configuration

You need four environment variables from your Pusher dashboard:

Variable	Description
`PUSHER_APP_ID`	Your Pusher app ID
`PUSHER_KEY`	Your Pusher app key
`PUSHER_SECRET`	Your Pusher app secret
`PUSHER_CLUSTER`	Your Pusher cluster (e.g. `us2`, `eu`, `ap1`)

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add the following to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pusher": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/pusher-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "PUSHER_APP_ID": "your_app_id",
        "PUSHER_KEY": "your_app_key",
        "PUSHER_SECRET": "your_app_secret",
        "PUSHER_CLUSTER": "us2"
      }
    }
  }
}

If installed globally via npm:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pusher": {
      "command": "pusher-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "PUSHER_APP_ID": "your_app_id",
        "PUSHER_KEY": "your_app_key",
        "PUSHER_SECRET": "your_app_secret",
        "PUSHER_CLUSTER": "us2"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage with Claude Code

claude mcp add pusher -- node /path/to/pusher-mcp-server/build/index.js

Set the environment variables in your shell before running, or configure them in your Claude Code MCP settings.

Example Prompts

Once configured, you can ask Claude things like:

"Send a 'deploy-complete' event to the notifications channel with the message 'v2.1.0 deployed'"
"Show me all active presence channels"
"How many users are on the presence-lobby channel?"
"Disconnect user abc123 from all channels"

Development

npm install
npm run dev          # Run with tsx (hot reload)
npm run build        # Compile TypeScript
npm run type-check   # Check types without emitting
