Notion MCP Server Integration

What does “Notion” MCP Server do?

The Notion MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to provide seamless integration between Language Models and your Notion workspace. By acting as a bridge, it enables AI assistants to perform a variety of operations within Notion, such as searching, reading, creating, and updating pages and databases. This enhances development workflows by allowing direct interaction with Notion data, enabling tasks like querying database entries, managing file content, and automating the creation or modification of Notion pages. The server standardizes these interactions through tools and resources, making it easier for developers to build intelligent, data-driven workflows that leverage the full capabilities of Notion within an AI-assisted environment.

List of Prompts

No explicit prompt templates are mentioned in the repository or documentation.

List of Resources

No explicit resources (as per MCP definition) are enumerated in the available documentation or code.

List of Tools

• Search Pages: Enables searching through your Notion workspace using a query string.
• Read Page: Retrieves the content of a Notion page by ID with clean formatting.
• Create Page: Allows creation of new Notion pages with rich markdown content under a specified parent page.
• Update Page: Updates the content of an existing Notion page, optionally specifying content type.
• Create Database: Facilitates the creation of a new database within a parent page, including title and properties.
• Query Database: Supports querying a Notion database using filters and sorting parameters.

Use Cases of this MCP Server

• Content Management Automation: Automate the creation, reading, updating, and organization of Notion pages, making it easier to manage content across large workspaces.
• Database Management: Easily create and update Notion databases, add or modify items, and run queries with custom filters and sorting—streamlining workflows for project management, task tracking, or knowledge bases.
• Knowledge Retrieval: Use AI assistants to search and read Notion pages, enabling rapid access to organizational knowledge or documentation.
• Comment Integration: Add or retrieve comments on Notion pages directly from the AI environment, improving collaboration and feedback loops.
• Block-Level Operations: Perform granular actions such as updating or deleting specific blocks within pages, offering precise control over Notion content through automated processes.

How to set it up

Windsurf

No specific setup instructions for Windsurf are provided in the documentation.

Claude

1. Ensure you have Node.js (v16 or higher) installed.
2. Obtain your Notion API key and set it as an environment variable or in a .env file.
3. Build the server with npm run build.
4. Update your claude_desktop_config.json file with the following snippet:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "notion": {
            "command": "node",
            "args": ["/absolute/path/to/notion-server/build/index.js"],
            "env": {
                "NOTION_API_KEY": "your_notion_api_key_here"
            }
        }
    }
}

5. Restart Claude Desktop to apply changes.

Securing API Keys (Environment Variables Example)

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "notion": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent can now use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “notion” to the actual name of your MCP server and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.

Overview

Roots Support: ⛔ (Not mentioned)
Sampling Support: ⛔ (Not mentioned)

Based on the two tables, this MCP server provides strong, clear tool support and good setup documentation for Claude, but lacks explicit prompt and resource definitions as well as feature mentions for Roots and Sampling. Overall, it’s a solid implementation for Notion integration but could be improved with richer MCP primitives and multi-platform setup instructions.
