Integrates Claude with Notion to manage a personal todo list using natural language commands.
Integrates Claude with Notion to manage a personal todo list using natural language commands. The notion mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it rather than through you.
A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with Notion's API to manage my personal todo list through Claude. This is a basic implementation tailored specifically for my minimalist todo list setup in Notion.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
You will need 2 environment variables: NOTION_API_KEY, NOTION_DATABASE_ID. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the planning and project tracking options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by danhilse; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Notion's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
