Notion has open-sourced its Model Context Protocol (MCP), now available on GitHub.

MCP is a standard way for AI models and tools to connect with Notion, making it much easier to build custom AI integrations. You can plug MCP into your favourite client—like Claude Desktop or Cursor AI—and start connecting Notion to your AI workflows in just a few minutes.

To get started, set up a Notion integration and connect it to the MCP server. You can run the server using npm or Docker, then add your integration token and link your Notion pages or databases. Once set up, your AI client can search, read, create, and update Notion content using natural language or API calls—all through a single, standardised interface.

This update means you can build richer, more flexible AI-powered tools with Notion, without having to manage complex, custom integrations. Everything you need is open-source and ready to use on GitHub.
