Notion MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude and other AI assistants to your Notion workspace. This integration allows AI assistants to interact with your Notion databases, pages, and blocks.

What is this?

This tool acts as a bridge between AI assistants (like Claude) and your Notion workspace. It allows the AI to:

• View and search your Notion databases
• Create and update pages
• Manage content blocks
• And much more!

Navigate to the Project Directory

After downloading or cloning, you need to navigate to the project folder using the cd (change directory) command:

If you downloaded the ZIP (Option A):

1. Open a command prompt or terminal

2. Use the cd command to navigate to where you extracted the ZIP file:

   cd path/to/extracted/folder/notionMCP
   

   For example:

   • On Windows: cd C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\notionMCP
   • On Mac: cd /Users/YourName/Downloads/notionMCP

If you cloned with Git (Option B):

   cd notionMCP
   

How to know you’re in the right directory:

• After using the cd command, you can check your current location:
  • On Windows: Type dir and press Enter - you should see files like server.js
  • On Mac: Type ls and press Enter - you should see files like server.js
