Pingfyr MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server used to connect AI assistants to Pingfyr's scheduled reminder service. Through it, users can manage reminders in natural conversations with AI, without manually writing scheduled tasks or polling logic.
Purpose: The core purpose of this tool is to enable AI assistants (such as Claude and AI agents) to directly schedule reminders, notifications, and Webhooks. It can send reminders to seven channels with a single API call, and reminders trigger automatically without external cron jobs, polling, or continuous monitoring.
Main capabilities:
- Provides tools such as create_reminder, list_reminders, and update_reminder for creating, listing, and updating reminders.
- Supports multiple notification channels: email reminders (with multiple recipients), Discord notifications, Telegram reminders, OpenClaw notifications, Google Calendar events (requires a Starter+ paid plan), Webhook (used to wake up agents), and custom cron schedules.
- The free plan includes Webhook, Slack, Discord, Telegram, and OpenClaw channels; email and Google Calendar require a paid plan (Starter+).
- Telegram reminders require obtaining the bot_id in the Pingfyr dashboard under Settings → Telegram Bots.
- Google Calendar events require connecting a Google account in the Pingfyr dashboard under Settings → Google Calendar.
Usage: This MCP server can run as a local npm package, or use the hosted server mcp.pingfyr.com without local installation.
- Local setup (stdio): requires Node.js 18+. Add the server to the MCP client configuration (such as Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.). Users need to register at pingfyr.com to obtain an API key.
- Hosted server (HTTP transport): no installation required, connect directly to mcp.pingfyr.com, with the API key as a Bearer token sent witheach request. HTTP transport is supported by Claude Code and Cursor; Claude Desktop requires the local (stdio) option.
- It can also be run directly with npx.
Use cases: Suitable for users who want to manage reminders and notifications conversationally through an AI assistant, such as setting scheduled reminders, sending multi-channel notifications, triggering Webhooks to wake up agents, etc. Suitable for developers or teams using MCP-supported clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.
Limitations:
- Running locally requires Node.js 18+.
- Claude Desktop does not support HTTP transport and must use the local stdio method.
- The email and Google Calendar channels require a paid plan (Starter+).
- Before use, you need to register at pingfyr.com and obtain an API key.
- Specific information about environment variables is not provided in detail in the materials.
