25actions available

Three actions you can hand over today

Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.

  • Publish message to channel

    Lyro sends a real-time message to connected clients on an Ably channel instantly. Users receive broadcasts for updates, alerts, or coordination without polling.

  • Publish push notification

    Lyro delivers a push notification directly to a user's mobile device or endpoint. Messages reach customers even when your app is closed or backgrounded.

  • Register push device

    Lyro enrolls a new device for receiving push notifications in your system. Future notifications route reliably to that endpoint for all campaigns.

How businesses use Ably + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Ably actions Lyro runs to close it.

  • Check who is connected before sending anything

    Lyro reads the presence set on a channel, queries several channels in one request, and pulls occupancy from the channel metadata, so an update goes out knowing whether anyone is there to receive it.

    Get Channel PresenceQuery Batch PresenceGet Channel Details

  • Publish a realtime update to live subscribers

    Lyro publishes the message with its event name and payload to a channel, fans the same set out across several channels when the announcement is global, and reads the channel history back to confirm it landed.

  • Reach the devices that are not on the page

    Lyro sends a push straight to specific devices, batches up to 10,000 notifications in a single request for a wider announcement, and checks which channels still have subscribed devices behind them.

    Publish Push NotificationBatch Publish PushList Push Channels

  • Keep the push device registry honest

    Lyro registers a new device across iOS, Android, or web, audits the registrations already on the app, and unregisters the ones tied to devices that are gone.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Ably actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

  1. 01

    Connect Ably

    Authorize the Ably account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.

  2. 02

    Tell your agent what you need

    Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Ably actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.

  3. 03

    Watch it work

    The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

Everything else about Ably

Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Ably.

  • No. Request Access Token issues a token scoped to specific capabilities and client identifiers with time-bound access, so Lyro can hand a client limited permissions instead of exposing the root key. Get Ably Service Time is available alongside it for the timestamp a valid token request needs.
