The open-source notion-mcp-server package is no longer actively maintained. We recommend the remote Notion MCP server for most clients. Issues and pull requests on the open-source repository are not actively monitored.
If you need to run your own MCP server, the notion-mcp-server package is available as an open-source implementation. This option may be suitable if you:
  • Need bearer token authentication for fully automated workflows
  • Already have an existing Notion connection you want to reuse
  • Require access to the original JSON-based v1 APIs
  • Prefer to manage infrastructure yourself
Compared to Notion’s remote MCP, running the open-source server requires more technical setup, including provisioning your own Notion connection, managing API tokens, and handling deployment.
The remote Notion MCP server at https://mcp.notion.com/mcp requires no self-hosted infrastructure and receives current tools and updates.
