Use case: developers running a coding agent

Approve deploys from your phone

Your agent stops before the deploy and asks. You answer from your iPhone, and it carries on.

Deploys are where agents should ask

You run a coding agent for long stretches. Most steps are safe to leave alone. A deploy is not.

  • The agent waits at a prompt you cannot see

    You start a long run and walk away. The agent reaches the deploy step and sits at a terminal prompt until you come back.

  • Or it decides without you

    An agent that cannot ask will guess. A guess about which build to ship, or where, is not a call you want it to make.

  • A yes or no should not need your laptop

    The decision takes seconds. Getting back to a desk to type it takes far longer.

How a deploy approval works

  • 1. The agent reaches the deploy

    Before it ships, your agent calls ask_question with the choices you care about, such as which build and whether to go ahead.

  • 2. Your phone buzzes

    Notifex sends a push notification to your iPhone. The question sits in a thread in your inbox.

  • 3. You pick an option

    Tap one option, pick several, or type an answer. Your answer goes straight back to the agent.

  • 4. The agent continues

    The agent was waiting on that exact question. It picks up with your decision and runs the deploy, or stops.

The agent asks. You tap an option.

What changes for you

Nothing ships on a guess

The agent pauses at the decision and holds its place until you answer.

You decide from anywhere

Approve or hold from wherever your iPhone is. Your agent keeps working on its side.

A record of what you chose

Every question and answer stays in its thread, and you can search your inbox later.

To set it up, add one MCP entry to your agent. Read the FAQ for the details.
