Setting Up Notion API Key and Permissions

Creating a Notion API Key

1. Go to Notion Integrations:

   • Visit Notion Integrations and log in with your Notion account.

2. Create a New Integration:

   • Click on "New Integration" and fill out the required fields such as the name of the integration, and select the workspace you want to connect to.

3. Save the Integration:

   • After filling out the details, click "Submit" to create the integration. You will be provided with an API key.

4. Copy the API Key:

   • Copy the API key and store it securely. You will use this key to authenticate your requests to the Notion API.

Giving a Page Permissions to Use the Integration

1. Open Notion:

   • Navigate to the page you want to give permissions to.

2. Share the Page:

   • Click on the "Share" button at the top right of the page.

3. Invite the Integration:

   • In the "Invite" field, type the name of your integration and select it from the dropdown. This will give the integration access to the page.

4. Set Permissions:

   • Ensure the integration has the necessary permissions (e.g., read, write) to perform the actions you need.

Code update

In notion_sdk.py , update the PAGE_ID, with the PAGE_ID of the page you created above. The page id can be retrieved by copying the page link

Prompt to LLM to create docstrings

I am building an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in Python.
The functions I provide will be registered as tools using @mcp.tool() from FastMCP.

Please generate a concise and informative docstring for each function I give you, following this structure:
	•	A one-line summary describing the function’s purpose.
	•	A section called Args: listing each argument with its type and purpose.
	•	A section called Returns: describing the return value and its type.

The docstring should help both humans and LLMs understand how and when to use the tool.
