What you can do with the Notion MCP server

Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

  • Use the delete block tool in Notion
  • Search items in Notion
  • Use the create database tool in Notion
  • Use the get block children tool in Notion
  • Use the query database tool in Notion
  • Use the append blocks tool in Notion

Supported Tools

delete_block

Delete Block

Delete a block from a Notion page. This sets the block to archived and moves it to trash. Can also be used to delete page blocks (effectively trashing a page).

create_database

Create Database

Create a new database in Notion as a child of an existing page. Define the database schema by specifying property names and types. Supported property types include title, rich_text, number, select, multi_select, date, people, files, checkbox, url, email, phone_number, formula, relation, rollup, status, and more.

get_block_children

Get Block Children

Retrieve the child blocks of a given block or page. Returns the first level of children only. Use a page ID to get the top-level content of a page, or a block ID to get nested content within a specific block. Results are paginated; use the cursor to retrieve additional blocks.

query_database

Query Database

Query a Notion database to retrieve its entries (pages) with optional filtering and sorting. Supports complex filter conditions using compound "and"/"or" filters as well as property-specific filters (text, number, date, checkbox, select, etc.). For databases with multiple data sources, supply dataSourceId; get_database lists the available data sources. Results are paginated; use the cursor to fetch subsequent pages.

append_blocks

Append Blocks

Append new content blocks to a page or an existing block. Supports all Notion block types including paragraphs, headings, lists, to-dos, code blocks, callouts, images, embeds, and more. Blocks can be nested up to 2 levels deep in a single request.

create_page

Create Page

Create a new page in Notion as a child of an existing page or as an entry in a database. Provide a parent (a page ID, database ID, or data source ID) and properties. For database parents, properties must match the database schema. For databases with multiple data sources, use parentDataSourceId; get_database lists the available data sources. Optionally include initial content as block children, and set an icon or cover image.

update_database

Update Database

Update a Notion database's title, description, schema (properties), icon, or cover. Use this to add, rename, or remove properties from a database schema, or to change database metadata.

list_comments

List Comments

Retrieve unresolved comments on a Notion page or block. Returns comment text, author, timestamps, and discussion thread IDs. Only unresolved comments are returned.

update_page

Update Page

Update an existing Notion page's properties, icon, cover, lock status, or archive status. Use this for modifying page metadata and property values. To modify page content (blocks), use the block management tools instead.

add_comment

Add Comment

Add a comment to a Notion page or reply to an existing discussion thread. Comments can be placed at the top of a page or as a reply to an existing discussion.

update_block

Update Block

Update an existing block's content or archive/delete it. The update fields depend on the block type. Can also be used to archive (soft-delete) a block by setting archived to true.

get_page

Get Page

Retrieve a Notion page by page ID or URL, including its properties, metadata, and optionally its complete nested block content. Use this to read a known page. If you only know its title, call Search first and pass the matching page result's id.

get_database

Get Database

Retrieve a Notion database by its ID, including its schema (properties), title, description, and metadata. Use this to inspect a database's structure before querying or creating entries. For databases with multiple data sources, the response lists the data sources; pass one as dataSourceId to read its schema.

list_users

List Users

List all users in the Notion workspace, including admins, members, guests, and bot integrations. Returns user profiles with name, avatar, type, and optionally email addresses (requires user information capability).

Connect Notion to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Notion in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Notion MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Notion tools.

Run Notion through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Notion and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Notion tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
