Notion MCP Overview

The notion-mcp MCP server connects AI clients to the Notion workspace visible in your browser, using Notion's internal API rather than the official integration API. It supports workspace search, markdown export and import, append operations, child-page creation, image handling, and discussion comments. Setup uses credentials copied from a Notion browser request, either through an interactive initializer or environment variables. Reach for it when an agent needs broad page access and bidirectional markdown workflows, while accepting internal-API and token-expiry limitations.

Primary Use Cases for Notion MCP:
  • Search a workspace for pages matching a query
  • Export Notion pages into markdown files
  • Replace or append page content from markdown
  • Create child pages from local documentation
