When you connect Ably, Claude acts as your real-time communications monitor inside GitScrum. You don't have to jump between dashboards; instead, Claude automatically checks channel status, verifies message delivery, and tracks member presence directly from the context of a sprint ticket. This makes debugging complex workflows simple.

task.delegate()
You write, 'I need to test if the push notification system is correctly notifying users when they are offline. Use Ably MCP to verify this process.' This delegates the entire debugging routine to Claude.
Claude autonomously invokes the necessary Ably tools, like `push_publish` or `get_presence`, passing required parameters. It executes the real-time API calls and collects the raw status data.
The final, summarized report—showing successful delivery logs or failed presence checks—lands back into the task comments. You review this structured outcome and mark the ticket as done.
task.create()
Copy. Paste into a Claude-aware GitScrum task. Done.
A developer needs to verify that a new microservice has successfully created its dedicated message channel.
Claude, please list every currently active channel using the `list_channels` tool. After listing them, retrieve and summarize the metadata for only the two channels related to the 'Payments' feature so we can confirm they are properly configured.
The marketing team needs to ensure that a critical alert (e.g., system downtime) reaches all client devices instantly.
We have 15 user IDs that need an immediate 'System Maintenance Alert.' Please use the `batch_push_publish` tool via Ably MCP to send this specific message payload to all of them and confirm the delivery batch status. Report any failures.
A PM needs to see who was online during a specific period to follow up on missed standup actions.
Using the `get_presence_history` tool, show me the activity log for the 'Core Engineering' channel between 9 AM and 12 PM today. I need Claude to summarize which team members were frequently present.
Manually checking who is available across different channels—the 'Dev' channel, the 'PM' channel, the 'Client Support' channel—is a nightmare. You spend time jumping between Slack threads and dashboards just to confirm if key people are online or if a critical communication flow broke down.
With Ably MCP, Claude reads that complex real-time data via your AI agents and checks the status right inside GitScrum. Instead of manual detective work, you get an instant summary report on who is present in which channel, allowing the team to pivot immediately when roadblocks appear.
Open this workflow in GitScrum →When rolling out a new feature, manually sending test notifications across multiple client IDs and waiting for confirmation is tedious. You have to copy the payload 10 times and track the success/fail status in a separate spreadsheet.
Now, Claude uses Ably MCP to manage this process. It handles batch publishing of notification payloads directly from your GitScrum task, confirming delivery logs automatically. This eliminates manual testing errors and lets you focus on feature completion.
claude.ask()
Claude, help me audit our entire communication infrastructure. Can you use Ably MCP to list all active channels and check the usage statistics for the top three most used ones?
I'm building a feature that requires immediate user feedback. Claude, can you run a test using the `publish_message` tool on a specific channel and then immediately retrieve the message history to confirm my payload worked?
We just finished a large deployment. Please use Ably MCP to check the current presence of all key stakeholders in the main development channel.
I need to revoke old, unused API tokens for security cleanup. Claude, please execute `revoke_tokens` and list any token IDs that were successfully revoked.
