Usage Guide

When to use each tool

Situation

Tool

Example

Long task finished

zeph_notify

Build complete, test results, deploy done

Need user decision

zeph_prompt

Choose deploy target, confirm destructive action

Need free-form input

zeph_input

Commit message, env var value, description

Share code/logs

zeph_file

Error logs, test reports, generated config

Share snippet

zeph_clipboard

API key, URL, shell command

Task completion notification:

zeph_notify(
  title: "Build complete: web app",
  body: "All 42 tests passed. Bundle size: 1.2MB (-3%)"
)

Decision gate in CI/deploy flow:

zeph_prompt(
  title: "Deploy to production?",
  body: "3 migrations pending. Last deploy: 2h ago.",
  actions: [
    { id: "deploy", label: "Deploy", style: "primary" },
    { id: "staging", label: "Staging only", style: "secondary" },
    { id: "cancel", label: "Cancel", style: "danger" }
  ],
  fallback: "cancel"
)

Collecting user input remotely:

zeph_input(
  title: "Commit message",
  body: "Changed: hooks.ts, input.ts, prompt.ts",
  placeholder: "feat: ..."
)

Error alert with link:

zeph_notify(
  title: "CI failed: lint errors",
  body: "2 errors in src/auth.ts",
  url: "https://github.com/org/repo/actions/runs/456",
  priority: "high"
)

When NOT to use

  • Short responses the user can see immediately in the terminal

  • Read-only operations (file search, code analysis)

  • Every single tool call — only notify on meaningful milestones

Multi-session workflow

When running multiple AI agent sessions in parallel, use zeph_notify to signal completion so the user knows which session finished without checking each terminal.

API Key Permissions

The API key needs the following scopes:

  • push:read — for zeph_list

  • push:write — for zeph_notify, zeph_clipboard, zeph_dismiss, zeph_dismiss_all, zeph_file

  • hook:write — for zeph_prompt and zeph_input

  • channel:read — for zeph://channels resource

Create an API key with the MCP preset in Settings > API Keys for the correct permissions.
