Copilot agent mode finished.
Your phone knows.
Pushary sends a push notification when GitHub Copilot finishes or needs your permission, and lets you approve from your phone in one tap.
Push notifications for GitHub Copilot in VS Code. When agent mode stops or needs a decision, it reaches your phone and you answer from your lock screen.
One command
code --add-mcp '{"name":"pushary","type":"http","url":"https://pushary.com/api/mcp/mcp","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer YOUR_KEY"}}'GitHub Copilot is not in the npx @pushary/agent-hooks wizard. Add Pushary through VS Code's own MCP config: run the command above, use Command Palette -> MCP: Add Server (HTTP), or paste the block into .vscode/mcp.json. See /docs/agents/connect-any-agent.

You hand agent mode a multi-file task, switch to a browser tab or a call, and lose the thread. The agent paused for a confirmation ten minutes ago and VS Code has been sitting there quietly ever since.

One command. Your phone buzzes when GitHub Copilot is done.
GitHub Copilot notification questions
How do I get notified when GitHub Copilot finishes a task?
Add Pushary as an MCP server in VS Code, switch Copilot Chat to agent mode, and the agent gains a send_notification tool. When it finishes a long task it pushes to your phone. If you install the Pushary skill, Copilot knows to call it at the end of a run without you asking.
Does GitHub Copilot support MCP servers?
Yes. VS Code 1.99 and later support MCP in Copilot agent mode. Config lives in .vscode/mcp.json for a workspace or in your user profile, the root key is servers, and remote HTTP transport is supported with type set to http and a url. Pushary is a remote HTTP MCP server, so it connects directly. MCP tools do not show up in Ask or Edit mode, only agent mode.
Can I answer Copilot's questions from my phone?
Yes. Pushary's ask_user tool sends the question as a push notification with yes/no buttons or a set of choices. Tap your answer from the lock screen and agent mode continues where it left off. This is human-in-the-loop over MCP, so you do not have to be back at VS Code to keep the agent moving.
Does Pushary block or approve Copilot's actions before they run?
No. With GitHub Copilot, Pushary is a cooperative MCP integration: it sends notifications and asks questions when the agent chooses to call those tools. It does not sit between Copilot and your shell, so it cannot pause or veto a command. VS Code has its own built-in tool-approval prompts for that while you are at the machine. Enforced approval gates that physically hold an action until you approve it are available with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor shell commands, and Hermes, which run Pushary through hooks. Copilot has no hook interface, so it stays notify-and-ask.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Pushary uses web push through your browser. It works on iPhone, Android, and desktop with no native app to install.
How much does it cost?
Pushary starts with a 7-day trial at $9.99 per month. That includes 5,000 notifications per month, which covers most developer workflows. There is no free tier.
