Install Notion in Claude Code
What you need first
- Claude Code, installed.
- Node.js, which
gives the
npxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_NOTION_TOKEN,YOUR_NOTION_USER_ID,YOUR_NOTION_SPACE_ID.
Steps
- Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that
project; put
--scope userafterclaude mcp addto have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env NOTION_TOKEN=YOUR_NOTION_TOKEN --env NOTION_USER_ID=YOUR_NOTION_USER_ID --env NOTION_SPACE_ID=YOUR_NOTION_SPACE_ID --transport stdio notion-mcp -- npx -y @shck-dev/[email protected] - Replace
YOUR_NOTION_TOKEN,YOUR_NOTION_USER_ID,YOUR_NOTION_SPACE_IDwith your own values. - Start Claude Code and type
/mcp: the server is listed with its state.
Check it worked
Ask Claude Code: List the tools of notion-mcp.
If it does not start
- spawn npx ENOENT
- Node.js is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
npxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
