Details
From the project READMENotion MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementation for seamless integration between Claude AI and Notion workspaces, enabling read and write capabilities.
Project Overview
This project aims to build an MCP server that connects Claude AI to Notion workspaces, allowing Claude to:
- Read content from Notion databases and pages
- Update existing content
- Search across your Notion workspace
- Query and filter database entries
- Retrieve detailed page content and database schemas
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v16+)
- Notion API key
- Claude Desktop
Getting Started
1. Set Up Notion API Access
- Create a Notion integration at https://www.notion.so/my-integrations
- Name your integration (e.g. "Claude MCP Integration")
- Set the integration type to "Internal"
- Copy your API key
- Share your Notion pages and databases with the integration by clicking the "..." menu in the top right of any page/database and selecting "Add connections"
2. Install Dependencies
npm install
3. Configure Environment Variables
Create a .env file in the project root with your Notion API key:
NOTION_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
This step is only needed if you're developing the server.
4. Build
Build the server, ready to be used by Claude.
npm run build
If you're developing the server, you can run npm run dev or npm run inspect.
5. Add to Claude Desktop config
Open claude_desktop_config.json (navigate to Settings > Developer and click Edit Config) and add the following:
"notion": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"path/to/mcp-server-notion/dist/index.js"
],
"env": {
"NOTION_API_KEY": "your_notion_api_key_here"
}
}
6. Restart Claude
Restart Claude and you should be good to go!

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
