Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Better Notion every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add better-notion -- npx -y better-mcp-notion

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "better-notion": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "better-mcp-notion"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.better-notion]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "better-mcp-notion"]

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "better-notion": {
      "args": [
        "-y",

        "better-mcp-notion"
      ],
      "command": "npx"

  }

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: NOTION_API_KEY (Notion API key (starts with ntn_)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Better Notion — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Better Notion?

Better Notion runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package better-mcp-notion was installed 33 times last week.

How do I connect Better Notion?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls better-mcp-notion straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Better Notion?

The npm package better-mcp-notion was installed 33 times in the last week. Week over week that is -35%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Better Notion open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
