Setup

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 22+ or Docker

Configuration

Copy the example env file and fill in your Zulip credentials:

cp .env.example .env

You'll need:

  • ZULIP_URL — your Zulip server URL (e.g. https://your-org.zulipchat.com)
  • ZULIP_EMAIL — the bot's email address
  • ZULIP_API_KEY — the bot's API key (see below)
  • ZULIP_NOTIFICATION_USER — email of the user to receive notifications via send_notification

Getting your Zulip API key

  1. Log in to your Zulip organization
  2. Go to Personal settings > Account & privacy
  3. Scroll down to the API key section
  4. Click Manage your API key and enter your password to reveal it

Alternatively, if you're using a bot account:

  1. Go to Organization settings > Bots
  2. Create a new bot or select an existing one
  3. The API key is shown on the bot's card — click to copy it

See the Zulip API keys documentation for more details.

Run with Docker (recommended)

docker compose up -d

Run locally

npm install
npm run build
npm start

The server listens on http://localhost:3000/sse.
