What is the Notion Alternative MCP Server?
Connect your Notion workspace to any AI agent and take full control of your pages, databases and content through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Global Search — Search all pages and databases the integration has access to by title
- Database Operations — Get database schemas, query rows with filters and sorts, and create new entries
- Page Management — Retrieve page metadata, update properties and read page content
- Block Operations — Read block children (paragraphs, headings, lists, code, images) and append new blocks
- User Discovery — List workspace users, get user details and verify the bot identity
- Comments — Read comment threads on pages and add new comments
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Notion Internal Integration Token
- Start managing your workspace from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more navigating through the Notion app to find a database or update page properties. Your AI acts as a dedicated knowledge ops assistant.
Who is this for?
- Knowledge Managers — quickly search pages, query databases and review content without opening the Notion app
- Developers — create database rows programmatically, append blocks and update page properties from chat
- Team Leads — audit workspace users, review comments and track page changes via conversation

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a Notion Internal Integration Token?
Go to Notion Integrations, click + New integration, give it a name, select the workspace and click Submit. Copy the Internal Integration Secret (starts with ntn_). Then, open any page or database in Notion, click ... > Add connections and select your integration to grant access.
Why can't the integration see my pages?
Notion integrations only have access to pages and databases you explicitly share with them. Open any page, click ... (top-right) > Add connections, and select your integration. The integration will then have access to that page and all its children. Use the search tool to discover accessible content.
Can I create new pages in a database?
Yes! Use create_database_row with the database ID and a properties JSON object. First use get_database to see the property schema (column names and types). Properties follow Notion's format: {"Name":{"title":[{"text":{"content":"My Page"}}]},"Status":{"select":{"name":"Done"}}}.
Can I read and append page content?
Yes! Use get_page_blocks with a page ID to read all block children (paragraphs, headings, lists, etc.). Use append_block to add new blocks — provide the page ID and a JSON array of block objects following Notion's block schema.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
