FAQ from Notion MCP Server
What does the server depend on?
It requires Node.js/npx to run and a Notion API key. The server uses the official Notion SDK.
How does the server authenticate with Notion?
It uses an integration API key passed via the --api-key command-line option or a NOTION_API_KEY environment variable.
Where does data live?
All data stays inside the connected Notion workspace. The server does not store any data; it only exposes the Notion API via MCP.
What are the main limitations?
The integration must be explicitly shared with each page or database it accesses. It only has access to pages/databases that have been shared with it. Also, the integration’s capabilities must be enabled in Notion settings.
What transport does the server use?
The server uses standard MCP transport (stdio) as an MCP server invoked via npx. No network transport is mentioned.
