What is the Notion MCP Server?

Provides filesystem capabilities to Claude, allowing it to read, write, and manipulate files on your system.

What the server does

  • List files with glob pattern matching
  • Read file contents
  • Write to files
  • Edit files with diff output
  • Secure path normalization to prevent directory traversal attacks

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • list_files — Lists files matching a glob pattern
  • read_file — Reads the content of a file
  • write_file — Writes content to a file
  • edit_file — Edits an existing file with the provided content and shows diff
  • delete_file — Deletes a file

Credentials and setup notes

  • Bun v1.2.5 or later
