Notion MCP Server: notion-texonom

Markdown based Notion navigating MCP with just a single ROOT_PAGE variable, eliminating the need for a token.

• Notion pages are converted into text/markdown mimeType notes.
• Search and retrieve relevant pages based on graph distance, considering parent-child and reference relationships.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing and interacting with Notion-based notes. This TypeScript-based server demonstrates MCP concepts by integrating resources, tools, and prompts to interact with Notion pages efficiently.

Development

Setup

Install dependencies:

pnpm install

Build the project:

pnpm build

For development with auto-rebuild:

pnpm watch

Configuration

To configure the server with Notion:

• Set environment variables:
  • ROOT_PAGE: The root page ID of your Notion workspace.

Installation for Claude Desktop

To use this server with Claude Desktop, add the configuration:

• MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Example configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion-texonom": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/mcp/build/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ROOT_PAGE": "$SOME_UUID"
      }
    }
  }
}

Debugging

For troubleshooting and debugging the MCP server, use the MCP Inspector. To start the Inspector, run:

pnpm inspector

The Inspector provides a browser-based interface for inspecting stdio-based server communication.

Key Technologies

• Notion Integration: Powered by @texonom/nclient and @texonom/cli.
• MCP SDK: Implements @modelcontextprotocol/sdk for server operations.

Remote Deployment

The server now uses SSEServerTransport for remote communication, enabling shared usage of the server. Ensure that the necessary dependencies are installed and the server is configured correctly for remote deployment.

Usage Instructions

To run the server with SSEServerTransport, use the following command:

npx -y supergateway --port 8000 --stdio "npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /some/folder"

Make sure to replace /some/folder with the appropriate path to your folder.
