- Uses the official notion-client Python library.
- Registers tools via FastMCP’s @mcp.tool() decorator.
- Authenticates with a Notion integration bearer token.
- Supports creating pages under a specified parent page.
- Designed for the MCP transport layer (stdio).
- Requires the uv package manager to run.

Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name Notion_mcp_server
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.)

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

After installing uv (e.g., brew install uv), set up a Notion integration to get an API key, share the target Notion page with that integration, and copy the page ID. Update the PAGE_ID in notion_sdk.py. Run uv run mcp dev server.py to test, or uv run mcp install server.py to register the server with Claude Desktop. The API key must be set as the environment variable NOTION_API_KEY in the Claude configuration.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

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

Setting Up uv for Python

1. Install uv using Homebrew:
- Ensure you have Homebrew installed on your system.
- Run the following command to install uv:

     brew install uv

2. Verify Installation:
- Check if uv is installed correctly by running:

     uv --version

3. Basic Usage:
- You can run a Python script using uv with:

     uv run <your_script.py>

Notion parent page id

https://www.notion.so/MCP-Parent-Page-1d21f7216bdb80789f88fccd964b5031

Curl example

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.notion.com/v1/pages' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_API_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Notion-Version: 2021-05-13' \
--data '{
"parent": { "page_id": "1d21f7216bdb80789f88fccd964b5031" },
"properties": {
"title": [
{
"text": {
"content": "Curl example"
}
}
]
}
}'

Notes

When installing in Claude, the key needs to be hardcoded

How to run

uv run mcp dev server.py

To use in Claude

uv run mcp install server.py

Will add to claude_desktop_config.json

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.
