Why it matters
What it does and why it matters
Notion is where many teams keep documentation, meeting notes, wikis and project databases. Notion's official hosted MCP server lets an assistant search the workspace, read pages, create and update pages, move them, create databases, query data sources and read or add comments.
That makes it one of the most useful servers for everyday knowledge work: turning meeting notes into tasks, finding the latest policy or drafting a project page from a brief.
The self-hosted Notion MCP repository is no longer maintained, and Notion recommends its hosted server, which signs in through your Notion account and follows your page permissions. We connect with an account that sees only the needed teamspaces, and we label pages created by the assistant.

"mcpServers": {
"notion": {
"url": "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"
}

}Claude Code: terminal
claude mcp add --transport http notion https://mcp.notion.com/mcp- Hosted server: https://mcp.notion.com/mcp (SSE fallback: https://mcp.notion.com/sse).
- Local server: npx -y @notionhq/notion-mcp-server (no longer actively maintained).
- Needs: OAuth (interactive). The old local server used a NOTION_TOKEN integration token..
Security
Security considerations
-
Limit workspaces
Connect with an account that sees only the workspaces or projects a task needs.
-
Mark AI-created items
Use a label or naming rule so items created by the assistant are easy to spot and review.
-
Guard deletes
Moves and page changes should be reviewed. Keep page history on.
-
Untrusted text
Task descriptions and comments can contain misleading text. Treat them as data.
