## Features

- **Markdown in, Markdown out** -- human-readable content instead of raw JSON blocks
- **8 composite tools, 39 actions** -- one call instead of chaining 2+ atomic Notion endpoints (plus `config`, `help`, and a relay-setup tool)
- **Auto-pagination and bulk operations** -- no manual cursor handling or looping
- **Tiered token optimization** -- ~77% reduction via compressed descriptions + on-demand `help` tool
- **Dual transport** -- local stdio (integration token) or remote HTTP (OAuth 2.1, no token to paste)

## Install

Run with `npx` (Node.js >= 24) and a Notion integration token from <https://www.notion.so/my-integrations> (starts with `ntn_`):

```jsonc
// MCP client config (e.g. .mcp.json / Claude Code / Cursor)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "better-notion-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "@n24q02m/better-notion-mcp@latest"],
      "env": { "NOTION_TOKEN": "ntn_your_token_here" }
    }
  }
}
```

Or run the published Docker image (stdio):

```bash
docker run --rm -i -e NOTION_TOKEN=ntn_your_token_here n24q02m/better-notion-mcp:latest
```

See the [Documentation](#documentation) section for per-client setup (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf) and HTTP/OAuth mode.

## CLI

Installing the package exposes a `better-notion-mcp` binary (run it with `npx` or after a global install). It has **no subcommands** -- running it starts the MCP server and speaks the protocol over stdin/stdout, so it is normally launched by an MCP client rather than by hand.

```bash
# Start the stdio server (default transport; requires NOTION_TOKEN)
NOTION_TOKEN=ntn_your_token_here npx --yes @n24q02m/better-notion-mcp@latest

# Start the remote HTTP server (OAuth 2.1) instead of stdio
npx --yes @n24q02m/better-notion-mcp@latest --http
```

| Argument / env | Effect |
|:---------------|:-------|
| _(none)_ | stdio transport (default); requires `NOTION_TOKEN` |
| `--http` | HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1 (equivalent to `TRANSPORT_MODE=http` / `MCP_TRANSPORT=http`) |

See [Configuration](#configuration) for the full environment-variable reference.

## Remote (HTTP mode)

Deployed with the HTTP transport, the server is a remote endpoint gated by OAuth 2.1 -- no integration token to paste. Point an MCP client that supports remote HTTP servers at the host you deployed it on:

```jsonc
// MCP client config -- remote HTTP (OAuth 2.1)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "better-notion-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://<your-host>/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

On first connect the client opens Notion's OAuth consent screen; per-user access tokens are held in-process only (see [Trust Model](#trust-model)). To stand up such an instance, see [Self-Hosting (Remote Mode)](#self-hosting-remote-mode) and [Deploy to Cloudflare](#deploy-to-cloudflare).

## Smithery

The repo ships a [`smithery.yaml`](smithery.yaml) config for [Smithery](https://smithery.ai). Smithery launches the server over stdio (`npx -y @n24q02m/better-notion-mcp`) and requires no install-time config -- provide your Notion credentials at runtime through the server's own setup flow (`NOTION_TOKEN` env, or the relay form; see [Configuration](#configuration)).

## Status

> **2026-05-02 -- Architecture stabilization update**
>
> Past months saw significant churn around credential handling and the daemon-bridge auto-spawn pattern. This caused multi-process races, browser tab spam, and inconsistent setup UX across plugins. **The architecture is now stable**: 2 clean modes (stdio + HTTP), no daemon-bridge layer, no auto-spawn from stdio.
>
> Apologies for the instability period. If you encountered issues with prior versions, please update to the latest release and follow the current [Setup guide](https://mcp.n24q02m.com/servers/better-notion-mcp/setup/) -- most prior workarounds are no longer needed.

| `TRANSPORT_MODE` / `MCP_TRANSPORT` | No | `stdio` | Set either to `http` for remote mode (or pass `--http`) |
| `PUBLIC_URL` | No (http) | - | Server's public URL for OAuth redirect links |
| `NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` | Yes (http) | - | Notion Public Integration client ID (or `--oauth-client-id=<id>` CLI flag, which overrides the env var) |
| `NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET` | Yes (http) | - | Notion Public Integration client secret (or `--oauth-client-secret=<secret>` CLI flag, which overrides the env var) |
| `MCP_AUTH_DISABLE` | No (http) | - | Set to `1` to skip Bearer JWT verification when behind an external auth gateway |

| `HOST` | No | - | Bind address (http mode) |

### Self-Hosting (Remote Mode)

You can self-host the remote server with your own Notion OAuth app.

**Prerequisites:**
1. Create a **Public Integration** at <https://www.notion.so/my-integrations>
2. Set the redirect URI to `https://your-domain.com/callback`
3. Note your `client_id` and `client_secret`

```bash
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
  -e TRANSPORT_MODE=http \
  -e PORT=8080 \
  -e PUBLIC_URL=https://your-domain.com \
  -e NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
  -e NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret \

```

## Deploy to Cloudflare

[![Deploy to Cloudflare](https://deploy.workers.cloudflare.com/button)](https://deploy.workers.cloudflare.com/?url=https://github.com/n24q02m/better-notion-mcp)

Run your own multi-user better-notion-mcp serverless on Cloudflare (Worker + Container + KV).

**Prerequisites:** a Cloudflare account on the **Workers Paid plan** — required for Containers (the Cloudflare free tier does not include Containers) — and the `wrangler` CLI.

1. `git clone https://github.com/n24q02m/better-notion-mcp && cd better-notion-mcp`
2. `wrangler login`
3. Provision the KV namespace and paste its id into `wrangler.jsonc`:
   ```
   wrangler kv namespace create better-notion-kv
   ```
4. Set secrets:
   ```
   wrangler secret put CREDENTIAL_SECRET
   wrangler secret put NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID
   wrangler secret put NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET
   ```
   `CREDENTIAL_SECRET` is REQUIRED: it derives a deterministic OAuth signing key so
   user identity survives container recreation.
5. Push the http image to the CF managed registry and deploy:
   ```
   wrangler containers push better-notion-mcp:beta
   wrangler deploy
   ```
6. Complete the Notion OAuth flow in the browser at your Worker domain.

Per-user Notion access tokens are encrypted into KV (`MCP_STORAGE_BACKEND=cf-kv`),
so they survive scale-to-zero. Do NOT set `MCP_AUTH_DISABLE` on a shared/public
deployment — it collapses all users into a single token bucket.

## Comparison

How better-notion-mcp stacks up against direct competitors in each pillar:

| Capability | better-notion-mcp | makenotion/notion-mcp-server | suekou/mcp-notion-server | awkoy/notion-mcp-server |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Markdown in / out | Yes (round-trip on pages + blocks) | No (raw Notion JSON) | partial (experimental, append + opt-in convert) | Yes (round-trip + GFM) |
| Composite tool design | Yes (8 composite tools, 39 actions) | No (22 endpoint-mapped tools) | partial (simplified + raw JSON tools) | Yes (2 dispatch tools, 35+ ops) |
| File uploads to Notion | Yes (`file_uploads`, single + multi-part) | No | No | Yes (`upload_file`, single + multi-part) |
| Comments | Yes (`comments`: list/get/create) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Remote HTTP + OAuth 2.1 transport | Yes (per-JWT-sub multi-user) | partial (HTTP + bearer token, no OAuth) | No (stdio token only) | No (stdio token only) |
| Self-hostable | Yes (Docker, own OAuth app) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| License | Apache-2.0 | ? | MIT | MIT |

## Security

- **OAuth 2.1 + PKCE S256** -- Secure authorization with code challenge
- **Rate limiting** -- 120 req/min/IP on HTTP transport
- **Session owner binding** -- IP check + TTL for pending token binds
- **Null safety** -- Handles Notion API quirks (comments.list 404, undefined rich_text)

## Build from Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/n24q02m/better-notion-mcp.git
cd better-notion-mcp
bun install
bun run dev
```

## Trust Model

This plugin implements **TC-NearZK** (in-memory, ephemeral). See [the trust model reference](https://mcp.n24q02m.com/servers/mcp-core/trust-model/) for full classification.

| Mode | Storage | Encryption | Who can read your data? |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTTP n24q02m-hosted (default) | In-memory `Map<sub, OAuthToken>` | In-process only | Server process (cleared on restart) |
| HTTP self-host | Same as hosted | Same | Only you (admin = user) |
| stdio (local) | `config.enc` in the OS config dir (`%APPDATA%\mcp\Config\config.enc` on Windows, `~/.config/mcp/config.enc` on Linux/macOS) | AES-GCM, machine-bound key | Only your OS user |
