Notion API

Create, read, and update Notion pages and databases via REST.

Install
npm install @notionhq/client
MCP Alternative

There is an MCP server that covers similar functionality: Notion MCP Server

Use the API when:

You need fine-grained control, custom error handling, or want to chain multiple API calls in a script.

Use the MCP when:

You want plug-and-play integration with Claude Code and don't need custom logic around the calls.

About

The Notion API gives you full programmatic access to your Notion workspace. Create and update pages, query databases with filters and sorts, manage blocks, and search content. Claude Code can call it directly via the official SDK. Offers more granular control than the MCP server - you can build complex database queries, batch-update properties, and handle pagination yourself.
