Zed's agent finished.
Your phone already knows.
Pushary sends a push notification when Zed finishes or needs your permission, and lets you approve from your phone in one tap.
Push notifications and phone-answered questions for Zed's Agent Panel over MCP. Add one context server and answer from your lock screen, no app to install.
One command
npx -y mcp-remote https://pushary.com/api/mcp/mcp --header "Authorization:Bearer $PUSHARY_API_KEY"Zed speaks stdio MCP only, so this bridge command goes in the context_servers block of ~/.config/zed/settings.json (or use Agent Panel > Settings > MCP Servers > Add Custom Server). Full steps at /docs/agents/connect-any-agent.
Featured on Hacker NewsZed runs fast. You still babysit the thread.
The Agent Panel churns through a task in the background while you tab away, and you keep flipping back to see whether the thread finished or stalled on a question.
Stop watching Zed spin. Start getting notified.
One command. Your phone buzzes when Zed is done.
Zed notification questions
How do I get notified when Zed finishes a task?
Add Pushary as a context server in Zed's settings.json. Because Zed uses stdio transport, point it at the Pushary MCP endpoint through the mcp-remote bridge with npx. Once the server shows active in the Agent Panel, Zed's agent can push your phone when a thread completes.
Where does the config go in Zed?
In ~/.config/zed/settings.json on macOS and Linux, or %APPDATA%\Zed\settings.json on Windows, under the context_servers key. Each server uses source custom, command, args, and env. You can also add it from the Agent Panel via Settings > MCP Servers > Add Custom Server, which writes the same JSON.
Can Zed's agent ask me questions on my phone?
Yes. Pushary gives Zed the ask_user and wait_for_answer tools, so the agent can send a confirm, select, or free-text question to your phone and wait for your answer before it continues.
Does Zed get enforced permission gating?
No. Zed connects over MCP, which is cooperative: the agent decides when to call ask_user, and there is no runtime block on a command. You get notifications and human-in-the-loop questions, not a hard gate. Enforced pre-execution gating that can physically block a command until you approve needs host hooks and is available on Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor shell commands, and Hermes.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, on any phone over push, with no native app to install.
How much does Pushary cost?
Paid agent plans start with a 7-day trial at $9.99 per month, which includes 5,000 notifications per month. There is no free tier.
