Notion
OfficialNotion's official hosted MCP server providing secure AI tool access to workspace content including pages, databases, and comments through OAuth authentication.
Notion MCP Server
Notion's official hosted MCP server gives AI tools secure access to your Notion workspace. Connect through simple OAuth to enable your AI assistant to search pages, query databases, read comments, and access workspace content based on your permissions.
Overview
Notion MCP is a remote hosted server (https://mcp.notion.com) that eliminates the need for local installation or API token management. Your AI tool can request live context from your Notion workspace including:
- Pages: Read page content and metadata
- Databases: Query and retrieve structured data
- Comments: Access discussion threads and annotations
- Search: Find relevant content across your workspace
All access is scoped to your user permissions - the AI can only see what you can see in Notion.
Connection Methods
Method 1: Through Notion App (Easiest)
- Open Settings in the Notion app
- Go to Connections → Notion MCP
- Choose your AI tool from the list
- Complete the OAuth flow to authorize
This method automatically configures popular AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor.
Method 2: Streamable HTTP (Recommended for Custom Clients)
For AI tools that support remote MCP servers with HTTP transport:
{
"mcpServers": {
"Notion": {
"url": "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"
}
}
}
Endpoint: https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
This is the recommended method for web-based AI tools and clients that support streamable HTTP transport.
Method 3: SSE (Server-Sent Events)
For AI tools that use SSE transport:
{
"mcpServers": {
"Notion": {
"type": "sse",
"url": "https://mcp.notion.com/sse"
}
}
}
Endpoint: https://mcp.notion.com/sse
Method 4: STDIO (For Local-Only Clients)
For AI tools that only support local STDIO servers, use the mcp-remote proxy:
{
"mcpServers": {
"notionMCP": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"]
}
}
}
This wraps the remote HTTP server in a local STDIO interface that local-only MCP clients can connect to.
Requirements: Node.js 18+ and npx available in PATH
Capabilities
Workspace Search
Search and retrieve content from your Notion workspace using natural language queries. The AI can find relevant pages, databases, and information across your entire workspace.
Example prompts:
- "Search for all documentation related to our authentication system"
- "Find meeting notes from last week's sprint planning"
- "What did we decide about the API redesign?"
Database Operations
Query Notion databases to retrieve and analyze structured information. Access database schemas, filter entries, and aggregate data.
Example prompts:
- "Show me all high-priority tasks in the engineering database"
- "List active marketing campaigns with their current status"
- "What's the schema of our customer database?"
Page Access
Read full page content, properties, and hierarchical structure. Access both top-level pages and nested sub-pages.
Example prompts:
- "Read the content of our Q4 roadmap page"
- "Show me all sub-pages under the team handbook"
- "Get the status property of all pages in the projects folder"
Comments & Discussions
Access comments and discussion threads on pages and databases to understand context and collaboration history.
Example prompts:
- "Show me all comments on the PRD for feature X"
- "What feedback did the team give on the architecture proposal?"
Use Cases
Documentation Creation: Generate PRDs, tech specs, and architecture docs by pulling context from existing Notion pages
Task Management: Query task databases, identify overdue items, and generate reports on project status
Campaign Planning: Track marketing campaigns, analyze progress, and build status reports from Notion databases
Knowledge Discovery: Search across workspace to find relevant information, meeting notes, and decisions
Release Management: Compile release notes by aggregating information from changelogs and feature pages
Authentication
Notion MCP uses OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication:
- User initiates connection through their AI tool or Notion app
- OAuth flow prompts for workspace authorization
- User approves access with specific permissions
- AI tool receives scoped access token
- All requests use token for authenticated access
Security: The AI tool can only access content that the authenticated user has permission to view. No workspace-wide access is granted beyond user permissions.
Troubleshooting
AI Tool Cannot Connect
Problem: Connection fails or Notion MCP doesn't appear in tool directory
Solutions:
- Verify your AI tool supports MCP clients
- Check if tool supports remote MCP servers (HTTP/SSE)
- For STDIO-only tools, use
mcp-remoteproxy configuration - Request MCP support from your tool's developers if unavailable
OAuth Flow Issues
Problem: Authorization fails or workspace access denied
Solutions:
- Use Notion app Settings > Connections > Notion MCP for easiest setup
- Disable popup blockers during OAuth flow
- Verify you have appropriate workspace permissions
- Try disconnecting and reconnecting
Limited Content Access
Problem: Cannot see specific pages or databases
Solutions:
- Access is based on your Notion permissions - verify you can see content in Notion app
- Check workspace sharing settings for restricted content
- Ensure pages aren't in private sections
- Contact workspace admin for broader access if needed
STDIO Connection Issues
Problem: mcp-remote fails or connection drops
Solutions:
- Prefer HTTP or SSE transport if your tool supports it
- Ensure Node.js and npx are installed for STDIO
- Check network connectivity to mcp.notion.com
- Verify command:
npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
