Available Tools (10 Total)

🚨 MCP Hub Integration: These tools are accessible via the MCP Hub using call-tool("notion", "tool_name", {...}). For Portuguese language queries, use smart-search() for intelligent tool discovery.

Basic Operations (5 tools)

• search_pages - Search for Notion pages by title
• get_page - Get basic information about a page
• get_page_content - Get the content blocks of a page
• create_page - Create a basic page with text
• update_page - Update a page title

Enhanced Operations (5 tools)

• create_rich_page - Create pages with rich formatting and multiple block types
• create_page_from_template - Use professional templates (meeting notes, project plans, etc.)
• add_content_blocks - Add formatted content to existing pages
• list_templates - List all available page templates
• create_root_page - Create independent pages in workspace root

See CLAUDE.md for detailed tool documentation and usage examples with MCP Hub.

Performance

• Response Time: <500ms for cached operations
• Cache Hit Rate: >60% for frequently accessed content
• Error Rate: <1% for all operations
• Rate Limiting: 60 requests/minute (Notion API limit)
• Retry Logic: 3 attempts with exponential backoff

Security

• Token Validation: Validates Notion API tokens on startup
• Rate Limiting: Prevents API abuse and respects Notion limits
• Audit Logging: Tracks all operations for security analysis
• Input Validation: Zod schemas for all tool inputs
• Error Sanitization: Removes sensitive data from error messages

Error Handling

The server implements comprehensive error handling:

• Automatic Retry: Transient failures are retried automatically
• Error Classification: Errors are classified as temporary, permanent, auth, or rate limit
• User-Friendly Messages: Portuguese error messages for better UX
• Correlation IDs: Track errors across the request lifecycle
