The Notion connector.

Docs, wikis, knowledge base. Connect once with your own key. Every agent your team runs reads the same 4 tools under one permission model.

How access is governed

4

Read tools

Open by default. They run when called, and every call is logged with the endpoint, tool and capability.

0

Write tools

Notion exposes no write tools. Nothing it does mutates external state.

0

Destructive tools

Notion defines no destructive tools. Nothing here deletes data.

Defaults come from the capability on each tool definition, and an admin can tighten or open any tool individually. The endpoint's capability ceiling can only tighten that policy. An endpoint scoped to read never surfaces a write tool.

Every Notion tool

4 tools, named as the agent sees them.

  • searchread

    Search across all Notion pages and databases by keyword.

  • get_pageread

    Get a Notion page with its properties and content blocks.

  • query_databaseread

    Query a Notion database to retrieve rows/entries with their properties.

  • list_databasesread

    List all Notion databases the integration has access to.

Use it from any agent

The same Notion tools reach Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop or your own agent through one MCP endpoint. The endpoint is scoped to a group, the token is issued per group and revocable from the dashboard, and an allowed-tool list and capability ceiling limit what it exposes. Reads run. Gated writes refuse unless an admin opens them. Destructive tools remain unavailable over MCP.

.mcp.json · works for Cursor and Claude Desktop too
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "growth": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.notara.ai/mcp/g/acme/growth",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ntr_mcp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

The URL and token are placeholders. Real endpoints are issued per group from the dashboard.

Setup

  1. 01

    Create a Notion Integration Token in your Notion account (where to find it). The key is yours: Notara stores it encrypted and never sees a bill.

  2. 02

    Paste it into the Notara dashboard. Credentials can be scoped to the workspace or to one person.

  3. 03

    The tools appear with their capability defaults already set. Tighten or open any of them per tool, then invite the agent to a channel or issue an MCP token.
