What it does

Notion MCP Skill is an agent skill from holon-run/uxc. Operate Notion workspace content through Notion MCP using the UXC CLI, including search, fetch, users/teams lookup, page/database creation and updates, and comments. Use when tasks require calling Notion tools over MCP with OAuth (authorizationcode + PKCE), especially when safe write controls and JSON-envelope parsing are required.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/error-handling.md` and `references/oauth-and-binding.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering OAuth and OpenID Connect, MCP servers and Authorization and RBAC. It works with Notion and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A unified CLI for discovering and invoking tools across OpenAPI, MCP, GraphQL, gRPC, and JSON-RPC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks require calling Notion tools over MCP with OAuth (authorizationcode + PKCE)
  • Especially when safe write controls and JSON-envelope parsing are required

Example prompts

  • “/notion-mcp-skill”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ensure endpoint mapping exists
  2. If mapping/auth is not ready, start OAuth login
  3. Bind endpoint to the credential
  4. Use fixed link command by default
  5. Discover tools and inspect schema before execution
  6. Prefer read path first
  7. Execute writes only after explicit user confirmation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 562d47c. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • mcp.notion.com
    • notion.so

    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 MCP Skill loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 516 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.5k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Operate Notion workspace content through Notion MCP using the UXC CLI, including search, fetch, users/teams lookup, page/database creation and updates, and comments. Use when tasks require calling Notion tools over MCP with OAuth (authorization_code + PKCE), especially when safe write controls and JSON-envelope parsing are required.

Notion MCP Skill

Use this skill to run Notion MCP operations through uxc with OAuth and guarded write behavior.

Reuse the uxc skill guidance for discovery, schema inspection, OAuth lifecycle, and error recovery. Do not assume another skill is auto-triggered in every runtime. Keep this skill executable on its own.

Prerequisites

  • uxc is installed and available in PATH.
  • Network access to https://mcp.notion.com/mcp.
  • OAuth callback listener is reachable (default examples use http://127.0.0.1:8788/callback).
  • uxc skill is available for generic discovery/describe/execute patterns.

Core Workflow (Notion-Specific)

Endpoint argument style in this skill:

  • Prefer shorthand mcp.notion.com/mcp (scheme omitted).
  • Full URL https://mcp.notion.com/mcp is also valid.
  1. Ensure endpoint mapping exists:
    • uxc auth binding match mcp.notion.com/mcp
  2. If mapping/auth is not ready, start OAuth login:
    • uxc auth oauth start notion-mcp --endpoint mcp.notion.com/mcp --redirect-uri http://127.0.0.1:8788/callback --scope read --scope write
    • Prompt user to open the printed authorization URL.
    • Ask user to paste the full callback URL after consent.
    • Complete login with uxc auth oauth complete notion-mcp --session-id <session_id> --authorization-response '<callback-url>'
  3. Bind endpoint to the credential:
    • uxc auth binding add --id notion-mcp --host mcp.notion.com --path-prefix /mcp --scheme https --credential notion-mcp --priority 100
  4. Use fixed link command by default:
    • command -v notion-mcp-cli
    • If missing, create it: uxc link notion-mcp-cli mcp.notion.com/mcp
    • notion-mcp-cli -h
    • If command conflict is detected and cannot be safely reused, stop and ask skill maintainers to pick a different fixed command name.
  5. Discover tools and inspect schema before execution:
    • notion-mcp-cli -h
    • notion-mcp-cli notion-fetch -h
    • notion-fetch requires id (URL or UUID). Examples:
      • notion-mcp-cli notion-fetch id="https://notion.so/your-page-url"
      • notion-mcp-cli notion-fetch id="12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890abcdef"
    • Common operations include notion-search, notion-fetch, and notion-update-page.
  6. Prefer read path first:
    • Search/fetch current state before any write.
  7. Execute writes only after explicit user confirmation:
    • For notion-update-page operations that may delete content, always confirm intent first.

OAuth Interaction Template

Use this exact operator-facing flow:

  1. Start login command and wait for authorization URL output.
  2. Tell user:
    • Open this URL in browser and approve Notion access.
    • Copy the full callback URL from browser address bar.
    • Paste the callback URL back in chat.
  3. Run uxc auth oauth complete notion-mcp --session-id <session_id> --authorization-response '<callback-url>'.
  4. Optionally confirm success with:
    • uxc auth oauth info <credential_id>

Do not ask user to manually extract or copy bearer tokens. Token exchange is handled by uxc. Use uxc auth oauth login ... --flow authorization_code only for a single-process interactive fallback.

Guardrails

  • Keep automation on JSON output envelope; do not use --text.
  • Parse stable fields first: ok, kind, protocol, data, error.
  • Use notion-mcp-cli as the default command path for all Notion MCP calls in this skill.
  • notion-mcp-cli <operation> ... is equivalent to uxc mcp.notion.com/mcp <operation> ....
  • Use direct uxc mcp.notion.com/mcp ... only as a temporary fallback when link setup is unavailable.
  • Call notion-fetch before notion-create-pages or notion-update-page when targeting database-backed content to obtain exact schema/property names.
  • Treat operations as high impact by default:
    • Require explicit user confirmation before create/update/move/delete-style actions.
  • If OAuth/auth fails, use uxc skill OAuth/error playbooks first, then apply Notion-specific checks in this skill's references.
