Notifying Users

Overview

Use the chat_notify MCP tool to send notifications to the user. This is for one-way communication - status updates, progress reports, or informational messages that don't require a response.

Using chat_notify

For status updates:

chat_notify({
  message: "Refinement draft created!"
})

For progress notifications:

chat_notify({
  message: "Starting architecture design for TASK-123..."
})

For completion messages:

chat_notify({
  message: "Build complete. All tests passing."
})

Guidelines

• •Use for one-way communication - When you don't need a response, use chat_notify instead of chat_ask
• •Keep messages concise - Short, clear updates are easier to digest
• •Include context - Mention ticket IDs or phase names when relevant
• •Don't overuse - Notify on meaningful events, not every small step
