# Notification tools

Two tools, both scoped to the calling user's own inbox rather than the whole practice — an agent cannot read another member's notifications.

## How to read this

Each tool below lists its arguments exactly as the input schema declares them — the type, whether it is required, and the permitted values where the schema fixes them. There are no argument descriptions: the schemas carry types, not prose, and inventing a sentence per argument would be writing fiction about a contract.

`practiceId` is never an argument. It comes from your token, and the write paths strip it if a client sends one anyway.

Every example is a complete `tools/call` request with this tool's required arguments filled in. Errors are returned inside a `200` response with `isError` set — see the [MCP overview](/docs/mcp) for that envelope, and the [full catalogue](/docs/mcp/tools) for every tool at a glance.

The calling user's own inbox. Not practice-wide.

### list_notifications

_Read-only, Any member_

List your notifications, newest first, with the unread count. Pass unreadOnly=true to skip read entries.

| `unreadOnly` | `boolean` | Optional |
| `limit` | `integer` | Optional |
| `offset` | `integer` | Optional |

**Example call**

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_notifications",
    "arguments": {}

### mark_notifications_read

_Writes, Any member_

Mark one notification read (action=one, requires notificationId) or the whole inbox (action=all).

**Arguments**

    }
  }
}
```

| --- | --- | --- |
| `validation_failed` | 400 | An argument is missing, of the wrong type, or outside its allowed values. |
| `not_found` | 404 | The id does not exist in your practice. A malformed id looks identical. |
| `unauthorized` | 401 | The bearer token is missing, invalid or expired. |

## Common questions

### How is patient data protected?

Patient records are encrypted in transit and at rest, files are stored privately and served through short-lived signed links, and every change is written to an audit log. Staff accounts sign in with passkeys rather than shared passwords.

### Can I export my data?

Yes. Every list in HyperCRM exports to CSV from the app, and your files can be downloaded at any time. Your practice data belongs to you, and there is no export fee or waiting period — on either plan, during the trial, and after you cancel.

### How much does HyperCRM cost?

HyperCRM is paid software. Every practice starts with a 30-day free trial of the full Complete plan, with no card required. After that, plans start at €19 and €29 a month excluding VAT, banded by how many practitioners you have. Every price is printed on the pricing page rather than quoted on a call.
