調査の方向性
Start by reviewing the proposed implementation in api/mcp.go and the message flow in api/message.go, then inspect the config and router wiring. Use the integration tests with the MCP SDK client as the verification point. Done means an optional /mcp endpoint accepts application-token requests, sends messages with the specified fields, preserves REST behavior, and is documented in the README.

説明
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
AI coding agents and assistants (Claude Code, VS Code Copilot, Cherry Studio, n8n, …) increasingly run long tasks unattended, and a common need is "notify me on my phone when you're done or need input". These tools speak the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Today, connecting them to Gotify requires either writing a custom script per agent or running a separate local MCP bridge process (e.g. taigrr/gotify-mcp, stdio only) on every machine the agent runs on. That doesn't work for remote/hosted agents that can only reach an HTTP URL.
Describe the solution you'd like
An optional, built-in MCP endpoint at /mcp that lets an agent send a message using an application token, so setup is a single line:
claude mcp add gotify --transport http https://gotify.example.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <apptoken>"
Bark ships a similar built-in endpoint.
I have a working implementation at RedwindA/server@feat/mcp and I'm happy to open a PR if you're open to the idea. Scope was deliberately kept minimal:
- Auth: only application tokens, via the existing
RequireApplicationTokenmiddleware (header,Authorization: Bearer, or?token=query, which is already masked in the access log). Client tokens and basic auth are rejected, so an agent can never read or delete messages or manage anything. - One tool:
send_messagewithmessage(required),title,priority, and three convenience flags mapped to the documented extras:markdown→client::display.contentType,click_url→client::notification.click.url,big_image_url→client::notification.bigImageUrl. Rawextrasare intentionally not exposed, to keep LLMs from making up namespaces. - Stateless: Streamable HTTP in stateless + JSON-response mode. No sessions, no SSE, no long-lived connections, no extra state in the server. It behaves like any other REST endpoint behind a reverse proxy or with multiple instances.
- Code reuse: the defaulting/store/notify logic of
CreateMessageis extracted into a shared helper, so REST and MCP behave the same (default title = app name, default priority, stream notification). - Opt-out:
GOTIFY_SERVER_MCP_ENABLED(defaulttrue;falsemeans/mcpis not registered at all). - Size: ~115 lines in
api/mcp.go, a small refactor inapi/message.go, config/router wiring, integration tests using the SDK client, and a README section. - Dependency: the official
github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk(v1.x, maintained by the MCP org together with Google). It adds 5 small indirect modules (google/jsonschema-go,segmentio/encoding,segmentio/asm,yosida95/uritemplate,golang.org/x/time).
Describe alternatives you've considered
- External bridge / contrib project (like taigrr/gotify-mcp): works for local stdio use, but every agent host needs an extra binary and config, and it can't serve remote agents that only accept an HTTP URL.
- Plugin: a plugin could host an HTTP endpoint under
/plugin/:id/custom/…, but it would send as the plugin's own internal application rather than the user's existing apps, and it wouldn't reuse the normal token auth. Once the new IPC plugin system (#825) lands, this could be revisited, but it would still be less discoverable than a built-in endpoint. - Plain REST: agents can be told to
curl/message, but that needs shell access, per-agent prompting, and exposes the token in the agent's command history. MCP tools are discovered automatically and the token stays in the client config.
Additional context
I understand if you'd rather keep this out of core. In that case I'd be glad to turn it into a standalone HTTP service and submit it to gotify/contrib instead. Feedback on the tool shape (names/parameters) is welcome either way.
