Notion MCP Server
NotionNotion's official MCP server, written in TypeScript, exposing the Notion API to agents: searching a workspace, querying, retrieving, creating and updating data sources, reading and writing pages and blocks, and managing properties and comments, with token-optimized responses and Markdown page editing. It targets the API version in which data sources rather than databases are the primary abstraction, and installs over standard OAuth.
Openness
5 high confidence- license

- unmaintained(the README says the repository is no longer actively maintained or supported)
The server is MIT-licensed and first-party, and the whole server is in the repository. Notion no longer actively maintains it and points users to Remote Notion MCP, a separate hosted implementation that adds semantic search, search across connected apps and Markdown page editing. Those are features of the hosted service, not code withheld from this repository.

Capability
4 medium confidenceNotion's remote server installs through standard OAuth rather than asking the caller to mint and paste an integration token, giving it managed authentication over a single system. That places it level with GitHub MCP.
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makenotion/notion-mcp-server/main/README.md recorded 2026-09-17
The README announcing the remote server: "Easy installation via standard OAuth. No need to fiddle with JSON or API tokens anymore", with "powerful tools tailored to AI agents, including editing pages in Markdown". The older path creates an internal integration token by hand.
