How can I use the Notion MCP server?

Here are just a few popular use cases:

• Knowledge base queries: Your agent can search across your Notion workspace to find relevant information and surface it to users in an app like Slack. For example, it can retrieve company policies, project documentation, or meeting notes when asked
  

• Automated documentation: Your agent can create and update Notion pages based on activities in other systems. For instance, it can automatically generate meeting notes from calendar events or create project pages when new initiatives are started in Jira
  

• Content generation and updates: Your agent can draft content directly in Notion pages and present it for review. For instance, it can generate weekly reports, compile research findings into structured pages, or create onboarding documentation based on conversations in Slack
  

• Onboarding automation: Your agent can personalize onboarding experiences by creating custom Notion pages for new hires. For example, it can generate role-specific onboarding checklists, link to relevant documentation, and set up their personal workspace based on their department and position

What makes Merge Agent Handler’s Notion MCP server better than alternative Notion MCP servers?

Here are just a few reasons:

• Enterprise-grade authentication and credential management: Merge Agent Handler supports dynamic authorization flows, guided user authentication, and both individual and shared authentication modes across connectors, reducing implementation overhead while maintaining control over access
  

• Built-in security and data loss protection (DLP): All tool inputs and outputs are scanned by a security gateway that can block, redact, or mask sensitive data based on default or custom rules you configure
  

• Real-time observability and auditability: Every tool call is logged with a complete audit trail. Logs are fully-searchable, enabling teams to monitor, debug, and audit agent behavior in real time
  

• Evaluation before production deployment: The Evaluation Suite allows you to validate that tools behave as expected before going live, helping improve success rates and reduce unexpected failures in production
  

Can I set custom security rules for Notion tool calls in Merge Agent Handler?

Yes, you can set a wide range of custom security rules for Notion tool calls in Merge Agent Handler.⁠

⁠​For example, you can:

• Block credit card numbers in page content. Prevent your agents from adding credit card numbers to Notion pages or database entries
  

• Redact social security numbers. Automatically redact SSNs before they're written to Notion properties or page bodies
  

• Log when agents share email addresses. Track whenever your agents add email addresses to Notion databases or pages for audit purposes
  

• Redact API keys and tokens: Automatically strip API keys, passwords, or authentication tokens before they're added to Notion documentation

• Block salary information: Prevent your agents from writing compensation data, revenue figures, or other financial information to Notion
  

• Log access to executive content: Monitor when agents read from or write to Notion pages owned by or mentioning C-level executives

How can I start using Merge Agent Handler’s Notion MCP server?

Here are the steps to get started with Merge Agent Handler's Notion MCP server:

1. Sign up for Agent Handler. Visit Merge Agent Handler's sign up page to create your free account and gain access to the dashboard.

2. Build a Tool Pack. Tool Packs control what connectors and tools are available to your agent. Navigate to the Tool Packs section, select Create Tool Pack, add Notion as a connector, and select either Individual or Shared authentication based on your use case.

3. Add a Registered User. Head to the Registered Users section; this represents an identity (human or system) that executes actions on behalf of your agent. When authentication with Notion is needed, Agent Handler automatically presents a guided flow—eliminating the need for custom OAuth implementation.

4. Validate with the Playground. Test your configuration before deploying to production. Open your Tool Pack's Sandbox environment and try out Notion tool calls such as retrieving pages, adding database records, or modifying workspace content.

5. Connect to your application. Link your agent to Agent Handler using one of two methods:

• MCP configuration: Grab the MCP server config from your Tool Pack settings and insert it into your agent's MCP client configuration. Your agent will then have access to all Notion tools via the Model Context Protocol‍

• REST API: Call Agent Handler's API directly to enumerate tools and execute them. This requires your API key, Tool Pack ID, and Registered User ID for authentication
