Source

A simple MCP integration that allows Claude to read and manage a personal Notion todo list

Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

Notion MCP Integration is a simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to integrate with Notion's API, enabling users to manage personal todo lists through the Claude platform. This implementation is tailored for a minimalist todo list setup.

To use this integration, set up a Notion account and API key, clone the repository, install the necessary Python environment, and configure the integration details. Interact with the todo list using commands in Claude.

  • Add new todo items - View all tasks and today's tasks - Check off tasks as complete
  1. Managing daily tasks in a minimalist format
  2. Interacting with todo lists using voice commands via Claude
  3. Personal task management for users looking for simplicity

Use these steps to connect Notion MCP Integration in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion-mcp-danhilse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-notion-mcp-danhilse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion-mcp-danhilse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-notion-mcp-danhilse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion-mcp-danhilse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-notion-mcp-danhilse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "notion-mcp-danhilse": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-notion-mcp-danhilse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion-mcp-danhilse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-notion-mcp-danhilse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion-mcp-danhilse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-notion-mcp-danhilse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

FAQ

What prerequisites do I need?

You need Python 3.10 or higher, a Notion account, API key, and a compatible Notion database structure.
