\n\n\n## Features\n\n- **Markdown in, Markdown out** -- human-readable content instead of raw JSON blocks\n- **8 composite tools, 39 actions** -- one call instead of chaining 2+ atomic Notion endpoints (plus `config`, `help`, and a relay-setup tool)\n- **Auto-pagination and bulk operations** -- no manual cursor handling or looping\n- **Tiered token optimization** -- ~77% reduction via compressed descriptions + on-demand `help` tool\n- **Dual transport** -- local stdio (integration token) or remote HTTP (OAuth 2.1, no token to paste)\n\n## Install\n\nRun with `npx` (Node.js >= 24) and a Notion integration token from (starts with `ntn_`):\n\n```jsonc\n// MCP client config (e.g. .mcp.json / Claude Code / Cursor)\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"better-notion-mcp\": {\n \"command\": \"npx\",\n \"args\": [\"--yes\", \"@n24q02m/better-notion-mcp@latest\"],\n \"env\": { \"NOTION_TOKEN\": \"ntn_your_token_here\" }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nOr run the published Docker image (stdio):\n\n```bash\ndocker run --rm -i -e NOTION_TOKEN=ntn_your_token_here n24q02m/better-notion-mcp:latest\n```\n\nSee the [Documentation](#documentation) section for per-client setup (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf) and HTTP/OAuth mode.\n\n## CLI\n\nInstalling the package exposes a `better-notion-mcp` binary (run it with `npx` or after a global install). It has **no subcommands** -- running it starts the MCP server and speaks the protocol over stdin/stdout, so it is normally launched by an MCP client rather than by hand.\n\n```bash\n# Start the stdio server (default transport; requires NOTION_TOKEN)\nNOTION_TOKEN=ntn_your_token_here npx --yes @n24q02m/better-notion-mcp@latest\n\n# Start the remote HTTP server (OAuth 2.1) instead of stdio\nnpx --yes @n24q02m/better-notion-mcp@latest --http\n```\n\n| Argument / env | Effect |\n|:---------------|:-------|\n| _(none)_ | stdio transport (default); requires `NOTION_TOKEN` |\n| `--http` | HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1 (equivalent to `TRANSPORT_MODE=http` / `MCP_TRANSPORT=http`) |\n\nSee [Configuration](#configuration) for the full environment-variable reference.\n\n## Remote (HTTP mode)\n\nDeployed with the HTTP transport, the server is a remote endpoint gated by OAuth 2.1 -- no integration token to paste. Point an MCP client that supports remote HTTP servers at the host you deployed it on:\n\n```jsonc\n// MCP client config -- remote HTTP (OAuth 2.1)\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"better-notion-mcp\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"url\": \"https:///mcp\"\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nOn first connect the client opens Notion's OAuth consent screen; per-user access tokens are held in-process only (see [Trust Model](#trust-model)). To stand up such an instance, see [Self-Hosting (Remote Mode)](#self-hosting-remote-mode) and [Deploy to Cloudflare](#deploy-to-cloudflare).\n\n## Smithery\n\nThe repo ships a [`smithery.yaml`](smithery.yaml) config for [Smithery](https://smithery.ai). Smithery launches the server over stdio (`npx -y @n24q02m/better-notion-mcp`) and requires no install-time config -- provide your Notion credentials at runtime through the server's own setup flow (`NOTION_TOKEN` env, or the relay form; see [Configuration](#configuration)).\n\n## Status\n\n> **2026-05-02 -- Architecture stabilization update**\n>\n> Past months saw significant churn around credential handling and the daemon-bridge auto-spawn pattern. This caused multi-process races, browser tab spam, and inconsistent setup UX across plugins. **The architecture is now stable**: 2 clean modes (stdio + HTTP), no daemon-bridge layer, no auto-spawn from stdio.\n>\n> Apologies for the instability period. If you encountered issues with prior versions, please update to the latest release and follow the current [Setup guide](https://mcp.n24q02m.com/servers/better-notion-mcp/setup/) -- most prior workarounds are no longer needed.\n>\n> **Related plugins from the same author**:\n> - [wet-mcp](https://github.com/n24q02m/wet-mcp) -- Web search + content extraction\n> - [mnemo-mcp](https://github.com/n24q02m/mnemo-mcp) -- Persistent AI memory\n> - [imagine-mcp](https://github.com/n24q02m/imagine-mcp) -- Image/video understanding + generation\n> - [better-email-mcp](https://github.com/n24q02m/better-email-mcp) -- Email management\n> - [better-telegram-mcp](https://github.com/n24q02m/better-telegram-mcp) -- Telegram\n> - [better-godot-mcp](https://github.com/n24q02m/better-godot-mcp) -- Godot Engine\n> - [better-code-review-graph](https://github.com/n24q02m/better-code-review-graph) -- Code review knowledge graph\n>\n> All plugins share the same architecture -- install once, learn pattern transfers.\n\n## Documentation\n\nFull docs at **[mcp.n24q02m.com/servers/better-notion-mcp/](https://mcp.n24q02m.com/servers/better-notion-mcp/)**:\n\n- [Setup](https://mcp.n24q02m.com/servers/better-notion-mcp/setup/) -- install methods for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, mcp.json\n- [Modes overview](https://mcp.n24q02m.com/get-started/modes-overview/) -- stdio (local, integration token) and HTTP (remote, OAuth 2.1)\n- [Multi-user setup](https://mcp.n24q02m.com/get-started/multi-user/) -- per-JWT-sub credential model (HTTP mode)\n\n**Install with AI agent** -- paste this to your AI coding agent:\n\n> Install MCP server `better-notion-mcp` following the steps at\n> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/n24q02m/claude-plugins/main/plugins/better-notion-mcp/setup-with-agent.md\n\n## Tools\n\nEight composite Notion tools (39 actions) plus three infrastructure tools (`config`, `config__open_relay`, `help`):\n\n| Tool | Actions | Description |\n|:-----|:--------|:------------|\n| `pages` | `create`, `get`, `get_property`, `update`, `move`, `archive`, `restore`, `duplicate` | Create, read, update, and organize pages |\n| `databases` | `create`, `get`, `query`, `create_page`, `update_page`, `delete_page`, `create_data_source`, `update_data_source`, `update_database`, `list_templates` | Database CRUD and page management within databases |\n| `blocks` | `get`, `children`, `append`, `update`, `delete` | Read and manipulate block content |\n| `users` | `list`, `get`, `me`, `from_workspace` | List and retrieve user information |\n| `workspace` | `info`, `search` | Workspace metadata and cross-workspace search |\n| `comments` | `list`, `get`, `create` | Page comments and discussion replies |\n| `content_convert` | `markdown-to-blocks`, `blocks-to-markdown` | Convert between Markdown and Notion blocks (uses a `direction` parameter) |\n| `file_uploads` | `create`, `send`, `complete`, `retrieve`, `list` | Upload files to Notion (single or multi-part) |\n| `config` | `status`, `setup_status`, `setup_start`, `setup_reset`, `setup_complete`, `set`, `cache_clear` | Inspect and manage credential state and configuration lifecycle |\n| `config__open_relay` | - | Open the relay configuration form in the browser and return the relay URL + credential state |\n| `help` | - | Get full documentation for any composite tool (`tool_name` parameter) |\n\n### MCP Resources\n\n| URI | Description |\n|:----|:------------|\n| `notion://docs/pages` | Page operations reference |\n| `notion://docs/databases` | Database operations reference |\n| `notion://docs/blocks` | Block operations reference |\n| `notion://docs/users` | User operations reference |\n| `notion://docs/workspace` | Workspace operations reference |\n| `notion://docs/comments` | Comment operations reference |\n| `notion://docs/content_convert` | Content conversion reference |\n| `notion://docs/file_uploads` | File upload reference |\n\n## Configuration\n\n| Variable | Required | Default | Description |\n|:---------|:---------|:--------|:------------|\n| `NOTION_TOKEN` | Yes (stdio) | - | Notion integration token |\n| `TRANSPORT_MODE` / `MCP_TRANSPORT` | No | `stdio` | Set either to `http` for remote mode (or pass `--http`) |\n| `PUBLIC_URL` | No (http) | - | Server's public URL for OAuth redirect links |\n| `NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` | Yes (http) | - | Notion Public Integration client ID (or `--oauth-client-id=` CLI flag, which overrides the env var) |\n| `NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET` | Yes (http) | - | Notion Public Integration client secret (or `--oauth-client-secret=` CLI flag, which overrides the env var) |\n| `MCP_AUTH_DISABLE` | No (http) | - | Set to `1` to skip Bearer JWT verification when behind an external auth gateway |\n| `PORT` | No | `0` (OS-assigned) | Server port; set explicitly (e.g. `8080`) to bind a fixed port |\n| `HOST` | No | - | Bind address (http mode) |\n\n### Self-Hosting (Remote Mode)\n\nYou can self-host the remote server with your own Notion OAuth app.\n\n**Prerequisites:**\n1. Create a **Public Integration** at \n2. Set the redirect URI to `https://your-domain.com/callback`\n3. Note your `client_id` and `client_secret`\n\n```bash\ndocker run -p 8080:8080 \\\n -e TRANSPORT_MODE=http \\\n -e PORT=8080 \\\n -e PUBLIC_URL=https://your-domain.com \\\n -e NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \\\n -e NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret \\\n n24q02m/better-notion-mcp:latest\n```\n\n## Deploy to Cloudflare\n\n[](https://deploy.workers.cloudflare.com/?url=https://github.com/n24q02m/better-notion-mcp)\n\nRun your own multi-user better-notion-mcp serverless on Cloudflare (Worker + Container + KV).\n\n**Prerequisites:** a Cloudflare account on the **Workers Paid plan** — required for Containers (the Cloudflare free tier does not include Containers) — and the `wrangler` CLI.\n\n1. `git clone https://github.com/n24q02m/better-notion-mcp && cd better-notion-mcp`\n2. `wrangler login`\n3. Provision the KV namespace and paste its id into `wrangler.jsonc`:\n ```\n wrangler kv namespace create better-notion-kv\n ```\n4. Set secrets:\n ```\n wrangler secret put CREDENTIAL_SECRET\n wrangler secret put NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID\n wrangler secret put NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET\n ```\n `CREDENTIAL_SECRET` is REQUIRED: it derives a deterministic OAuth signing key so\n user identity survives container recreation.\n5. Push the http image to the CF managed registry and deploy:\n ```\n wrangler containers push better-notion-mcp:beta\n wrangler deploy\n ```\n6. Complete the Notion OAuth flow in the browser at your Worker domain.\n\nPer-user Notion access tokens are encrypted into KV (`MCP_STORAGE_BACKEND=cf-kv`),\nso they survive scale-to-zero. Do NOT set `MCP_AUTH_DISABLE` on a shared/public\ndeployment — it collapses all users into a single token bucket.\n\n## Comparison\n\nHow better-notion-mcp stacks up against direct competitors in each pillar:\n\n| Capability | better-notion-mcp | makenotion/notion-mcp-server | suekou/mcp-notion-server | awkoy/notion-mcp-server |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| Markdown in / out | Yes (round-trip on pages + blocks) | No (raw Notion JSON) | partial (experimental, append + opt-in convert) | Yes (round-trip + GFM) |\n| Composite tool design | Yes (8 composite tools, 39 actions) | No (22 endpoint-mapped tools) | partial (simplified + raw JSON tools) | Yes (2 dispatch tools, 35+ ops) |\n| File uploads to Notion | Yes (`file_uploads`, single + multi-part) | No | No | Yes (`upload_file`, single + multi-part) |\n| Comments | Yes (`comments`: list/get/create) | Yes | Yes | Yes |\n| Remote HTTP + OAuth 2.1 transport | Yes (per-JWT-sub multi-user) | partial (HTTP + bearer token, no OAuth) | No (stdio token only) | No (stdio token only) |\n| Self-hostable | Yes (Docker, own OAuth app) | Yes | Yes | Yes |\n| License | Apache-2.0 | ? | MIT | MIT |\n\n## Security\n\n- **OAuth 2.1 + PKCE S256** -- Secure authorization with code challenge\n- **Rate limiting** -- 120 req/min/IP on HTTP transport\n- **Session owner binding** -- IP check + TTL for pending token binds\n- **Null safety** -- Handles Notion API quirks (comments.list 404, undefined rich_text)\n\n## Build from Source\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/n24q02m/better-notion-mcp.git\ncd better-notion-mcp\nbun install\nbun run dev\n```\n\n## Trust Model\n\nThis plugin implements **TC-NearZK** (in-memory, ephemeral).
