Common questions about Pushary for AI agents
Common questions about using Pushary with your AI agents.
What is Pushary?
Pushary sends a push notification to your phone when your AI agent finishes a task, hits an error, or needs a decision. You can approve actions and answer questions from your phone, so you do not have to sit and watch the terminal.
Do I need to write any code?
No. Run npx @pushary/agent-hooks@latest setup. It detects your agent, configures it, and helps you connect your phone. No-code tools can use a plain REST endpoint instead.
Which agents are supported?
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, Windsurf, and any MCP client. No-code and HTTP tools such as n8n, Zapier, and scripts work over a REST endpoint.
What is the difference between the Cursor plugin and MCP?
MCP gives your agent tools it can choose to use to notify you or ask a question. The Cursor plugin adds an enforced gate that stops a risky shell command until you approve it from your phone. The plugin includes everything MCP gives you.
What are hooks?
Hooks let Pushary step in before an agent runs an action, such as a shell command or a file edit, and require your approval first. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Hermes support hooks, which is what makes enforced approvals possible. Plain MCP has no hooks, so it is notifications and questions only.
Where do I get an API key?
One is created for you when you sign up. You can also copy it from Settings, API keys in your dashboard.
I lost my API key. Can I get it back?
No. The full key is shown only once. Create a new key in Settings, update your agents, then revoke the old one.
Is there a native mobile app?
A native app with lock-screen approvals is in internal testing and coming soon. Today you receive on any phone over push, with no install.
Why am I not getting notifications?
Make sure you allowed notifications in your browser, and on iPhone that you added the page to your Home Screen and opened it from there. Run npx @pushary/agent-hooks@latest doctor to test delivery end to end.
How do I stop an agent immediately?
Use the kill switch. It blocks gated actions across your agents at once.
Does my agent have to ask before doing something dangerous?
Only with enforced approvals: Claude Code, Codex, the Cursor plugin, or Hermes with gating turned on. With plain MCP the agent chooses when to ask, so it might not.
How much does it cost?
Paid agent plans start with a 7-day trial at $9.99 per month, including 5,000 notifications per month.
