What it does

Notion Local Ops Operator is an agent skill from catoncat/notion-local-ops-mcp. Use when working inside notion-local-ops-mcp on macOS startup, launchd keepalive, rolling reload, cloudflared tunnel status, or /mcp connection failures from Notion.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Notion, Model Context Protocol and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Use Notion AI with your local files, shell, and fallback local agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Working inside notion-local-ops-mcp on macOS startup
  • Launchd keepalive
  • Cloudflared tunnel status
  • /mcp connection failures from Notion

Example prompts

  • “/notion-local-ops-operator”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. ./scripts/launchd-status.sh
  2. Check local http://127.0.0.1:8766/mcp
  3. Check public https:///mcp if the tunnel config has a hostname
  4. Inspect logs under ~/Library/Logs/notion-local-ops-mcp/

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26982c8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Notion Local Ops Operator loads about 505 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 215 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~505

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

notion-local-ops operator

Overview

This project has two runtime modes on macOS:

  • ./scripts/dev-tunnel.sh for foreground dev sessions
  • launchd-managed services for long-lived local MCP + cloudflared keepalive

Prefer launchd when the goal is “stay up even if a shell/tmux pane dies”.

Quick reference

  • Install persistent services: ./scripts/install-launchd.sh
  • Check service + endpoint status: ./scripts/launchd-status.sh
  • Reload Python code without dropping the tunnel: ./scripts/launchd-reload.sh
  • Force restart after dependency/config changes: ./scripts/launchd-restart.sh all
  • Remove launchd services: ./scripts/uninstall-launchd.sh

Operational rules

  • Keep the MCP supervisor and cloudflared as separate launchd services.
  • Treat launchd-reload.sh as the default code-update path; it sends HUP to the supervisor so a fresh child server becomes ready before the old one drains.
  • Use launchd-restart.sh mcp after .venv / dependency changes.
  • Use launchd-restart.sh cloudflared after tunnel config changes.
  • If install fails because the port is already bound, stop manual dev-tunnel.sh processes first.

Debug order

  1. ./scripts/launchd-status.sh
  2. Check local http://127.0.0.1:8766/mcp
  3. Check public https://<hostname>/mcp if the tunnel config has a hostname
  4. Inspect logs under ~/Library/Logs/notion-local-ops-mcp/

Common traps

  • dev-tunnel.sh is not a durable keepalive service; closing the wrapper shell can still take everything down.
  • launchd plists live under ~/Library/LaunchAgents/; do not commit installed plist artifacts back into the repo.
  • launchd gets a minimal environment. Always set runtime env vars through .env or the install-time render path, not by assuming your interactive shell exports them.
