# Notion MCP Server
This project implements an [MCP server](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/) for the [Notion API](https://developers.notion.com/reference/intro).
### Installation
#### 1. Setting up Integration in Notion:
Go to [https://www.notion.so/profile/integrations](https://www.notion.so/profile/integrations) and create a new **internal** integration or select an existing one.
While we limit the scope of Notion API's exposed (for example, you will not be able to delete databases via MCP), there is a non-zero risk to workspace data by exposing it to LLMs. Security-conscious users may want to further configure the Integration's _Capabilities_.
For example, you can create a read-only integration token by giving only "Read content" access from the "Configuration" tab:
#### 2. Connecting content to integration:
Ensure relevant pages and databases are connected to your integration.
To do this, you'll need to visit that page, and click on the 3 dots, and select "Connect to integration".
#### 3. Adding MCP config to your client:
##### Using npm:
Add the following to your `.cursor/mcp.json` or `claude_desktop_config.json` (MacOS: `~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`)
```javascript
{
"mcpServers": {
"notionApi": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@notionhq/notion-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS": "{\"Authorization\": \"Bearer ntn_****\", \"Notion-Version\": \"2022-06-28\" }"
}
}
}
}
```
##### Using Docker:
There are two options for running the MCP server with Docker:
###### Option 1: Using the official Docker Hub image:
Add the following to your `.cursor/mcp.json` or `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```javascript
{
"mcpServers": {
"notionApi": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"-e", "OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS",
"mcp/notion"
],
"env": {
"OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS": "{\"Authorization\":\"Bearer ntn_****\",\"Notion-Version\":\"2022-06-28\"}"
}
}
}
}
```
This approach:
- Uses the official Docker Hub image
- Properly handles JSON escaping via environment variables
- Provides a more reliable configuration method
###### Option 2: Building the Docker image locally:
You can also build and run the Docker image locally. First, build the Docker image:
```bash
docker-compose build
```
Then, add the following to your `.cursor/mcp.json` or `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```javascript
{
"mcpServers": {
"notionApi": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"-e",
"OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS={\"Authorization\": \"Bearer ntn_****\", \"Notion-Version\": \"2022-06-28\"}",
"notion-mcp-server"
]
}
}
}
```
Don't forget to replace `ntn_****` with your integration secret. Find it from your integration configuration tab:
### Examples
1. Using the following instruction
```
Comment "Hello MCP" on page "Getting started"
```
AI will correctly plan two API calls, `v1/search` and `v1/comments`, to achieve the task
2. Similarly, the following instruction will result in a new page named "Notion MCP" added to parent page "Development"
```
Add a page titled "Notion MCP" to page "Development"
```
3. You may also reference content ID directly
```
Get the content of page 1a6b35e6e67f802fa7e1d27686f017f2
```
### Development
Build
```
npm run build
```
Execute
```
npx -y --prefix /path/to/local/notion-mcp-server @notionhq/notion-mcp-server
```
Publish
```
npm publish --access public
```
