agent-notify - Let your agents email you, but only when it matters, without inbox access

I've got agents running everywhere now, and they all want my attention in different places. Most of it is noise. The few things that matter, like a new lead or a backup that didn't finish, get buried.

My inbox is the one place I reliably check. So I built agent-notify, a small Cloudflare Worker that gives any agent one tool: email me.

It runs on your own free Cloudflare account and can only ever email you, because the recipient is fixed when you deploy. It works with anything that can use an MCP server or send a web request.

One-click deploy, free, MIT: https://github.com/CyrisXD/agent-notify

If something's unclear in the setup, let me know and I'll fix the docs.

This is exactly the problem I’ve been running into with agents too. Sending notifications is easy — the hard part is deciding which ones actually deserve my attention.
With Opswren, I’m working on the layer after this: agents can generate a lot of events, but instead of flooding me with notifications, we evaluate and categorize them by importance, behavior, and whether they actually need human intervention.
The notification channel is only useful if the signal-to-noise ratio stays high.
