Notion MCP Client

Notion MCP Client

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) client for interacting with the Notion API. This client is designed to be used in modern AI tools like Claude that support MCP for extended functionality.

Features

• Asynchronous API operations with retry logic
• Concurrency control to respect Notion API rate limits
• Environment-based configuration
• JSON-based operation configuration
• Flexible server implementation with MCP support
• Fall back to standard HTTP API when MCP is not available

Installation

pip install notion-mcp

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/notion-mcp.git
cd notion-mcp
pip install -e .

For MCP support, install with the MCP extra:

pip install notion-mcp[mcp]

Configuration

Create a .env file with your Notion API credentials and configuration:

NOTION_TOKEN=your_notion_token_here
ROOT_PAGE_ID=your_root_page_id_here
MAX_RETRIES=3
RETRY_DELAYS=1,3,5
CONCURRENCY_LIMIT=5
TIMEOUT_MS=30000

Usage

Command Line

Run with default configuration:

notion-mcp

Run with a custom JSON configuration file:

notion-mcp config.json

Server

Start the server (with MCP support if available):

notion-mcp-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

The server will attempt to use the MCP protocol if available. If not, it will fall back to a standard HTTP server that accepts POST requests at /notion.

HTTP API

When using the HTTP API, send a POST request to /notion with a JSON body:

{
  "root_page_id": "your_page_id_here",
  "database_filter": ["Articles", "Resources"],
  "operation": {
    "type": "fill_web_url",
    "params": {
      "web_field": "网址"
    }
  }
}

Example using curl:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/notion \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"root_page_id": "your_page_id_here", "operation": {"type": "fill_web_url"}}'

JSON Configuration

Create a JSON configuration file to customize the behavior:

{
  "root_page_id": "your_page_id_here",
  "database_filter": ["Articles", "Resources"],
  "operation": {
    "type": "fill_web_url",
    "params": {
      "web_field": "网址"
    }
  }
}

Using with Claude

To use this MCP client with Claude, you'll need to set up the server and then configure Claude to use it. Here's an example of how to do that:

{
  "mcp_configurations": [
    {
      "name": "notion",
      "endpoint": "http://localhost:8000/notion",
      "description": "Access and manipulate Notion databases and pages"
    }
  ]
}

Then, in your conversation with Claude, you can ask it to perform Notion operations like this:

Claude, please use the notion MCP to fill the web URL field in all pages of my Articles database.

Integration with Other Frameworks

The NotionRequestHandler class provides a flexible way to integrate with different frameworks:

from notion_mcp.handler import notion_handler

# Create an adapter for your framework
async def my_framework_handler(request):
    # Extract data from your framework's request object
    input_data = await request.json()
    
    # Process with Notion handler
    result = await notion_handler.handle_request(input_data)
    
    # Return in your framework's response format
    return MyFrameworkResponse(json=result)

Available Operations

• fill_web_url: Finds URL fields in a page and copies values to a specified target URL field
• More operations coming soon!
