🚀 Quick Start with uvx (Recommended)
The fastest way to use this tool is with uvx, which runs packages without permanent installation:
# Install uv if you don't have it curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh # Run the MCP server directly (no installation needed) uvx macos-notification-mcp
⚙️ Configure Claude Desktop

"args": ["macos-notification-mcp"]
}
}
}Then restart Claude Desktop.
