suekou/mcp-notion-server

AI-friendly MCP server for the Notion API. It helps agents find, read, query, and update Notion workspaces while keeping responses compact enough for day-to-day AI workflows.
This server targets the Notion API 2026-03-11 and uses the current database/data source model. It exposes MCP tools, prompts, resources, structured tool results, and optional MCP Apps for interactive Notion workflows.
Highlights
- Search and target discovery with notion_find.
- Compact page reading with stable block IDs via notion_read_page.
- Data source schema inspection with notion_inspect_data_source.
- Schema-aware data source querying and item creation with simple values.
- Simple page editing tools for paragraphs, headings, lists, todos, quotes, callouts, code blocks, dividers, and safe Markdown append.
- Raw Notion API tools for advanced block, page, database, data source, comment, and user operations.
- Optional MCP Apps: Data Source Explorer and Page Workbench.
Quick Start
Add this server to an MCP host such as Claude Desktop:
Restart your MCP host after saving the configuration.
Setup Guide
1. Create a Notion integration
Open the Notion integrations dashboard, then create a new internal integration.
2. Configure capabilities
Grant only the capabilities you need:
- Read content: required for search, page reads, data source retrieval, and queries.
- Insert content: required for creating pages/items and appending blocks.
- Update content: required for updating pages, blocks, and data source schemas.
- Read comments / Insert comments: required only for comment tools.
- User information: required only when using user lookup tools.
For full functionality during setup, enable read, insert, and update content. Add comment or user capabilities only if you plan to use those tools.
3. Grant content access
Open the **Content access** tab for your integration, then select the pages or databases you want the MCP server to read or edit.
You can also grant access from the target Notion page or database: open the ... menu, choose **Connections**, then add your integration.
Notion only lets an integration access pages and databases that have been shared with it. A connection added to a page can also access that page's children.
4. Copy the internal integration token
Copy the integration secret. This value becomes NOTION_API_TOKEN in your MCP host config.
5. Configure your MCP host
For Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP hosts, add this server config to your MCP settings:

Recommended Workflow
1. Use notion_find to locate a page or data source.
2. Use notion_read_page for page context and editable block IDs.
3. Use notion_inspect_data_source before querying or creating data source items.
4. Use notion_query_data_source_by_values and notion_create_data_source_item_from_values for common data source work.
