notion

The @orbit-logistics/notion-mcp-server exposes the full Notion API as a collection of MCP tools that LLMs can invoke. This enables natural language-driven interactions to read, create, update, and delete Notion pages, databases, blocks, and other Notion entities by routing requests through a consolidated MCP server rather than calling individual Notion SDKs directly. By launching the MCP server, you instantiate a set of tools that map to Notion operations, allowing an LLM to compose requests like reading a page, creating a new database entry, updating page properties, or deleting a block using simple tool calls.

Once running, you can connect an LLM like Cursor or Claude Desktop to the server. The server token is supplied at run-time (via -t or the environment, depending on your setup). Each tool call from the LLM is translated into the corresponding Notion API operation, returning results or status information that the LLM can interpret to continue the conversation or refine subsequent actions. The server handles authentication with your Notion integration and returns data that can be used to drive downstream logic in your workflow.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js (recommended LTS) and npm/yarn installed on your machine
• A Notion integration token with the required permissions to access the pages/databases you intend to manipulate

Installation steps:

1. Verify Node.js and npm are installed:
   • node -v
   • npm -v
2. Run the MCP server directly with npx (no global install required): npm install -g npm 2>/dev/null || true npx -y @orbit-logistics/notion-mcp-server -t <notion_integration_token>
3. Alternatively, configure via a script or container by using the same command with your token: npx -y @orbit-logistics/notion-mcp-server -t <notion_integration_token>

Note:

• The -t flag is used to supply the Notion integration token. Replace <notion_integration_token> with your actual token at runtime.
• You can also embed this command into your deployment scripts or orchestration tooling to avoid manual entry.

Tips and caveats:

• Ensure your Notion integration has access to the pages/databases you intend to manipulate.
• Notion API rate limits apply; plan retries or backoff in your LLM-driven flows.
• The MCP server mirrors the Notion API surface as tools; consider exposing only the necessary subset for your use case to minimize surface area.
• If you rotate tokens, update the invocation token accordingly and restart the MCP server.
• For debugging, capture tool responses and errors to help the LLM recover from failures or misinterpretations of Notion API responses.
