notion-workflow

notion-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from awkoy/notion-mcp-server. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,722 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for using Notion, a workspace for pages, notes, and databases, through the Notion connector. It explains how to find, read, create, and change Notion content with the available operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate Notion pages or databases, read their contents, filter database records, and group multiple edits into one operation.
Why use it?
It reduces incorrect searches, invalid page or database targets, and unnecessary separate edits. It also makes clear when the connection is read-only and writing is unavailable.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

notion-workflow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Working with Notion through notion-mcp-server

The server exposes three tools. notion_read runs read operations, notion_write runs write operations, and notion_describe returns one operation's JSON Schema with a working example. Each call is { operation, payload }. The operation enum on each tool is the full menu of what is enabled. In read-only mode notion_write isn't listed at all; say that edits are turned off rather than offering them.

Most tasks follow the same path: find the thing, read it, then change it in as few calls as possible.

1. Find it

  • The user pasted a link: skip the search. Every id field (page_id, database_id, block_id, view_id, …) accepts a Notion URL as it is.
  • The user named something: notion_read → search_pages with { query: "<words from the title>" }. The search matches titles only, never body text. Each result carries object (page, database or data_source), id, title and url. A database id is not a valid parent for create_page; a row's parent is a data source.
  • A loose match (accents, word order): add ranking: "title_relevance" to re-rank by title similarity.
  • Nothing found: with an Internal Integration token, the page may not be shared with the integration. Say so instead of guessing.

2. Read it

Need Operation Payload
A page's prose, to summarise or edit get_page_markdown { page_id }
A database row's fields get_page { page_id, include_properties: true }
Block ids, to edit one block get_block_children { block_id }
A database's columns and options get_data_source { data_source_id }

Prefer get_page_markdown to walking blocks. One call returns the whole body, and it round-trips with update_page_markdown.

3. Query a database with where

notion_read → query_database. Pass database_id (a single-source database resolves itself) or data_source_id. Filter with where instead of raw Notion filter JSON:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
