Connect AckPush over MCP
The AckPush MCP server gives Claude Code, claude.ai, Claude Desktop and ChatGPT two things: a way to tell you when a job is done, and a way to ask you before it does something important. You answer from the notification on your phone.
You need an AckPush account and the phone app. AckPush is in a private beta, free for founding members: request an invite.
