Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: NOTION_TOKEN (Notion integration token. Create at https://www.notion.so/my-integrations). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Better Notion MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Better Notion MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 13 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Better Notion MCP still maintained?
The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
The registry lists Better Notion MCP as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Better Notion MCP?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Better Notion MCP need an API key?
No. Better Notion MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How many people use Better Notion MCP?
The npm package @n24q02m/better-notion-mcp was installed 1 778 times in the last week. Week over week that is +295%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Better Notion MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 36 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
