Notion MCP Server

If you already use Notion, the notion mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. My implementation of a Notion MCP Server.

What the server does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Notion API that enables AI assistants to interact with Notion workspaces programmatically. This server provides a standardized interface for LLMs to access and manipulate Notion content, including databases, pages, and blocks.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol for connecting Large Language Models (LLMs) with external tools, data sources, and APIs. It allows AI assistants like Claude to access functionality and data in a secure, standardized way. This Notion MCP server implements the protocol to provide AI assistants with access to your Notion workspace.

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Available tools

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

• Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server
• Installation — 1. Clone the repository: bash git clone https://github.com/kyrelldixon/notion-mcp.git cd notion-mcp

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: NOTION_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

• Bun v1.2.9 or higher - A Notion integration token with appropriate permissions - Notion pages/databases shared with your integration

Worth knowing first

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Notion's toolset — Prerequisites, Installation — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by kyrelldixon; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
