name: notion-mcp description: | Notion MCP integration with managed authentication. Query databases, create and update pages, manage blocks. Use this skill when users want to interact with Notion workspaces via MCP. For REST API, use the notion skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/notion-api-skill). For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). compatibility: Requires network access and valid Maton API key metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" clawdbot: emoji: 🧠 homepage: "https://maton.ai" requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY
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
- Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
- Go to maton.ai/settings
- 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.

Property Types Reference
When creating or updating pages in databases:
| Property Type | Format |
|---|---|
| Title | "Title Property": "Page Title" |
| Text | "Text Property": "Some text" |
| Number | "Number Property": 42 |
| Checkbox | "Checkbox Property": "__YES__" or "__NO__" |
| Select | "Select Property": "Option Name" |
| Multi-select | "Multi Property": "Option1, Option2" |
| Date (start) | "date:Date Property:start": "2024-12-25" |
| Date (end) | "date:Date Property:end": "2024-12-31" |
| Date (is datetime) | "date:Date Property:is_datetime": 1 |
| Place (name) | "place:Location:name": "Office HQ" |
| Place (coordinates) | "place:Location:latitude": 37.7749 |
Special naming: Properties named "id" or "url" must be prefixed with userDefined: (e.g., "userDefined:URL").
Error Handling
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 400 | Missing MCP connection or invalid tool name |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) |
Troubleshooting: API Key Issues
- Check that the
MATON_API_KEYenvironment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
- 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
- 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
textfield contains JSON-stringified data that should be parsed - Use
notion-fetchto get page/database structure before creating or updating pages - For databases, fetch first to get the data source ID (
collection://...URL)
