notion-mcp（Notion MCP 搜索）

Notion MCP

Access Notion via MCP (Model Context Protocol) with managed authentication.

Quick Start

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'query': 'meeting notes', 'query_type': 'internal'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/notion/notion-search', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/notion/{tool-name}

Replace {tool-name} with the MCP tool name (e.g., notion-search). The gateway proxies requests to mcp.notion.com and automatically injects your credentials.

Request Headers

MCP requests use the Mcp-Session-Id header for session management. If not specified, the gateway initializes a new session and returns the session ID in the Mcp-Session-Id response header. You can include this session ID in subsequent requests to reuse the same session.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Notion MCP connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=notion&method=MCP&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'notion', 'method': 'MCP'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "PENDING",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "notion",
    "method": "MCP",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Notion connections (eg. OAuth2, MCP), you must specify which MCP connection to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'query': 'meeting notes', 'query_type': 'internal'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/notion/notion-search', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

IMPORTANT: If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection, which may fail if it's not an MCP connection.

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch('https://gateway.maton.ai/notion/notion-search', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    query: 'meeting notes',
    query_type: 'internal'
  })
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/notion/notion-search',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={
        'query': 'meeting notes',
        'query_type': 'internal'
    }
)
print(response.json())

Property Types Reference

When creating or updating pages in databases:

Special naming: Properties named "id" or "url" must be prefixed with userDefined: (e.g., "userDefined:URL").

Error Handling

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

1. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with notion. For example:

• Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/notion/v1/search
• Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/v1/search

Notes

• All IDs are UUIDs (with or without hyphens)
• MCP tool responses wrap content in {"content": [{"type": "text", "text": "..."}], "isError": false} format
• The text field contains JSON-stringified data that should be parsed
• Use notion-fetch to get page/database structure before creating or updating pages
• For databases, fetch first to get the data source ID (collection://... URL)
