How to Use the Notion MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does the MCP Server search my Notion workspace in VS Code Copilot?

The agent runs searchpages to locate page UUIDs and searchdatabases to find structured tables across your entire shared workspace.

Q: Does VS Code Copilot support editing Notion page properties?

Yes. Copilot uses updatepageproperties to change database tags, select fields, and relation properties from inside the chat panel.

Q: Can Copilot read nested blocks within a page?

Share workspace tools with your entire engineering team

The `list_users` tool identifies workspace members to help coordinate team tasks inside your editor. Commit your MCP configuration directly to your repository using a .vscode/mcp.json file. Your shared agent can read user lists to assign tasks dynamically. This lets Copilot locate shared project boards without individual setup friction using `search_databases`.

Query database rows and update tickets from Copilot

The `query_database` tool checks active project tickets to keep your git commits aligned with your workspace. Keep your project management aligned with your git commits. Instead of manual updates, the agent uses `update_page_properties` to modify status fields or assignees. It keeps your issue tracking accurate without manual admin work.

Document code architectures directly to pages

The `create_page` tool generates documentation files in your workspace directly from your active code context. When you write a new module, Copilot can write the markdown blocks directly into the page. If an architecture spec changes, the agent can call `get_blocks` to read the current layout, edit the outdated parts, and save the updates back to your workspace.

Setup guide

Set up Notion MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the Notion MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Notion tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Notion transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
