Notion MCP Server

Notion'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 2025-09-03 API, in which data sources rather than databases are the primary abstraction, and installs over standard OAuth.

First-party Notion (makenotion) server. Notion also runs a hosted MCP endpoint; the openness score reads it as a managed deployment of this same server rather than a tier withholding tools. Verified 2026-08-13 via GitHub and the repository LICENSE.

license: MIT(OSI)
source: public
core-gated: ungated

Fully MIT, first-party Notion server, no feature-gated core. Notion also runs a hosted MCP endpoint documented at developers.notion.com, but that is a managed deployment of this same server rather than a tier withholding tools from it, which the ladder settles as ungated.

Adoption

3 medium confidence

3.0

739,577 npm downloads of @notionhq/notion-mcp-server in the trailing 30 days, which bands at 100K-1M, level 3 on the software adoption scale. Because that package publishes a real figure, the level rests on a measurement rather than on stars plus an inference that npm distribution implies wider use.

"Version 2.0.0 migrates to the Notion API 2025-09-03 which introduces data sources as the primary abstraction for databases", with seven new tools listed. "Easy installation via standard OAuth"; "Powerful tools tailored to AI agents, including editing pages in Markdown. These tools are designed with optimized token consumption in mind." Worked examples call v1/search and v1/comments. NOT on the page: a tool count of 22 or any other number.
