Notion MCP Server

Notion MCP Server is an MCP server that connects Claude and other Model Context Protocol clients directly to a user's Notion workspace. Knowledge workers, project managers, and developers use this server to inspect, retrieve, and manage Notion documentation using natural language commands. The integration exposes specialized tools for searching across a workspace, reading page content, creating new pages, and modifying existing page bodies or titles. In addition to standard document operations, the server provides full support for managing structured Notion databases. Clients can query databases using custom filters and sorting criteria, create new databases equipped with typed schemas, insert new rows containing rich properties such as selects, dates, and text, and update existing entries. By bridging the Notion API through the Model Context Protocol, the server allows AI models to handle documentation maintenance, task tracking, and workspace updates without requiring manual browser navigation.
