# Notion MCP server

> Search, read, create and update pages and databases in your Notion workspace from an MCP client.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/notion
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://mcp.notion.com/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Productivity & Projects](https://mcp.tc/c/productivity)
- Vendor: Notion
- Verified: yes, mcp.tc checked that this is the official server (https://mcp.tc/verify). It says who runs the server, not that it is safe.

## About

Connects an MCP client such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex to your Notion workspace. The client can search content in Notion and connected sources, read pages, create and update content, and create pages and databases. It acts on content the signed-in user can access.

Hosted by Notion as a remote server over streamable HTTP at https://mcp.notion.com/mcp, with a legacy SSE endpoint at /sse. Access uses OAuth sign-in. Workspace owners can manage MCP client access in Settings, Connections.

## What it can do

- Search content in Notion and connected sources
- Read pages and databases you can access
- Create new pages
- Create databases
- Update existing Notion content
- Manage client access through workspace connection settings

## Example prompts

- "Search Notion for our Q4 planning notes and summarize them"
- "Create a new page in Notion with today's meeting notes"
- "Add a row to my Tasks database for the website redesign"
- "Update the status of the launch checklist page to Done"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http notion https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **notion** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Notion sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Notion** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Notion asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Notion&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.notion.com%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.notion.com/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Notion asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://mcp.notion.com/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Notion to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=notion&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5ub3Rpb24uY29tL21jcCJ9>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion": {
      "url": "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=notion&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.notion.com%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"notion","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "notion": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add notion --url https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
codex mcp login notion
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.notion]
url = "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http notion https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth notion` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.notion.com/mcp`.
