Pushcut integration
Pushcut API for iOS smart notifications and automation: send one of the notifications configured in the Pushcut app with overridden text, actions and target devices, schedule a notification and cancel it before it fires, run a shortcut or HomeKit scene on a Pushcut Automation Server, and register webhooks that fire when an online action runs. Authenticate with an API key generated in the Pushcut app.
Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.
Common Pushcut use cases
- running an iOS shortcut from a server side workflow
- auditing which webhooks a Pushcut key has registered
- cancelling a delayed shortcut once it is no longer needed
- removing a webhook when the workflow behind it is retired
- checking a device is online before sending a notification to it
- discovering which notification names a workflow is allowed to send
- starting a workflow when a Pushcut online action is triggered from a phone
- cancelling a delayed reminder once the condition that raised it has cleared
- sending an actionable notification that lets you run a shortcut from the lock screen
- activating a HomeKit scene as part of an automation
What you can do with Pushcut
Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.
Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use Pushcut from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex
Connect Pushcut in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Pushcut operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.
claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"[mcp_servers.livecontext]

}How to connect Pushcut
- Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
- Connect Pushcut once
Add your Pushcut connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
- Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
