notion-mcp-wrapper
Wraps Notion's MCP server with health monitoring, auto-reconnect, and fallback to direct REST API, enabling reliable Notion page operations from headless environments.
README
OpenClaw Notion MCP Wrapper
Production-ready Notion MCP Server wrapper with health monitoring, automatic reconnection, and transparent fallback to direct REST API. Built for OpenClaw agents operating in headless / cloud environments.
Companion skill: openclaw-notion-md-converter — Markdown → Notion blocks conversion.
AI Agent Quick Reference
# Skill identity (SKILL.md frontmatter)
name: notion-mcp-wrapper
version: "2.0.1"
triggers:
- "notion"
- "mcp"
- "notion-mcp-wrapper"
- "move page"
- "notion health"
# Runtime requirements
requires:
bins: [node, npm]
env: [NOTION_TOKEN] # or NOTION_API_KEY
# Install
run: cd ~/.openclaw/skills/notion-mcp-wrapper && npm install
When to invoke:
- Check Notion MCP connectivity / health status
- Execute Notion operations (movePage, createPage, updatePage, deletePage) via MCP
- Auto-reconnect after MCP server crash or timeout
- Fall back to direct Notion REST API when MCP is unavailable
When NOT to invoke:
- Simple Notion reads that work directly via MCP tools
- Non-Notion operations
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Health Monitoring | Continuous MCP ping; reports healthy / degraded / down with latency |
| Auto Reconnect | Exponential backoff retry — configurable maxRetries and baseDelayMs |
| Seamless Fallback | Auto-switches to Notion REST API when MCP fails; transparent to callers |
| Operation Support | movePage, getPage, updatePage, createPage, deletePage (with fallback) |
| Full Test Suite | Unit + integration tests via Jest |
Installation
git clone https://github.com/Charpup/openclaw-notion-mcp-wrapper.git \
~/.openclaw/skills/notion-mcp-wrapper
cd ~/.openclaw/skills/notion-mcp-wrapper
npm install
Environment:
export NOTION_TOKEN="ntn_YOUR_INTERNAL_INTEGRATION_TOKEN"
# Alternative:
export NOTION_API_KEY="ntn_YOUR_INTERNAL_INTEGRATION_TOKEN"
Headless / cloud setup: Use an Internal Integration Token — no browser OAuth needed. Share target Notion pages with your integration before use.
Usage
As a Library
const { NotionMCPWrapper } = require('./lib/notion-mcp-wrapper');
const wrapper = new NotionMCPWrapper({
maxRetries: 5,
baseDelayMs: 1000,
enableHealthMonitor: true,
enableFallback: true,
});
await wrapper.start();
// Execute with automatic MCP → API fallback
const result = await wrapper.execute('movePage', {
page_id: 'abc123def456',
parent: { page_id: 'xyz789ghi012' },
});
console.log(result.source); // 'mcp' | 'fallback'
await wrapper.stop();
CLI
npm run health # Check MCP health
node bin/notion-mcp-wrapper.js move-page <page-id> <parent-id>
npm test # Run test suite
