Overview

What is Notion Private API MCP?

Notion Private API MCP is an unofficial MCP server that gives LLM agents full read and write access to your entire Notion workspace using Notion's private, undocumented internal API and your browser session cookie (token_v2). It is built for developers and power users who want personal automation without setting up official integrations or sharing pages one by one.

How to use Notion Private API MCP?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, set the NOTION_TOKEN_V2 environment variable to your Notion session cookie, and start the server with npm start. Then register the server in your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop or Claude Code) using the provided configuration examples.

Key features of Notion Private API MCP

  • Authenticates with your browser session cookie — no integration token needed
  • Accesses everything your account can see in the workspace
  • Provides tools to read, create, edit, delete pages and blocks
  • Supports writing content via simplified block JSON or Markdown
  • Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients
  • Uses stdio transport via the official MCP SDK

Use cases of Notion Private API MCP

  • Search for any page in your workspace and have an agent summarize its content
  • Create child pages with structured content (headings, to-do lists, code blocks)
  • Append TODO lists or notes to an existing page automatically
  • Sync a local Markdown file into a Notion page as block content
  • Replace or delete blocks on a page programmatically

Frequently asked questions

1

Where do I get my `token_v2`?

Log into Notion in your browser, open DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies → `https://www.notion.so`, and copy the value of the `token_v2` cookie.

2

Why am I seeing "NOTION_TOKEN_V2 is required"?

The environment variable is not set in the process that launches the server. Ensure it is defined in your MCP client's `env` block or in the shell before starting the server.

3

My token stopped working — what happened?

Your `token_v2` expires when your Notion session ends (logout, password change, long inactivity). Obtain a fresh cookie and update the environment variable.

4

What does `MemcachedCrossCellError` mean?

It is a transient Notion routing error on multi‑cell workspaces. The client already retries and falls back to `loadPageChunk`; simply retry the call if it appears.

5

Is using Notion's private API against the Terms of Service?

This server uses an undocumented internal API. Using it with your own account and data is at your own risk; Notion may change or break the API at any time, and use may be against their ToS.
