| Best for | - Automation and CI scenarios that need headless token auth (Notion's hosted MCP is OAuth-only)
- Agents where context/token cost matters (only 422 tokens of tool schema at connection)
- Workflows needing batch mutations, idempotency, retries, and rate limiting
- Self-hosted deployments and developers exposing their own HTTP endpoint
- Users of any MCP-speaking client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Cline, Zed, Continue, etc.)
| - Developers, content creators, and project teams using Atlassian Cloud
- Teams that want Atlassian access inside ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or VS Code
- Users who need natural-language search, write, and cross-product workflows
|
|---|
| Not for | - Users who want a one-click Notion connection inside claude.ai or ChatGPT web UIs (use Notion's hosted MCP; ChatGPT's built-in connectors require OAuth-hosted servers)
- Teams that prefer the official open-source server's one-tool-per-endpoint surface
- Organizations unwilling to grant a third-party open-source service their Notion token (unless they audit or self-host)
| - Users without an Atlassian Cloud site or relevant product permissions
- Deployments requiring a self-hosted MCP server
- Users unwilling to grant an AI client access to Atlassian data or actions
- Jira Service Management or Bitbucket Cloud workflows requiring OAuth authentication
|
|---|
| Required permissions | - Requires NOTION_TOKEN: a Notion Personal Access Token (ntn_…, recommended — scope equals your account, expires in ~1 year) or an Internal Integration secret (only pages explicitly Connected)
- Optional NOTION_PAGE_ID as default parent for create_page / create_database
- Optional NOTION_UPLOAD_ROOT to confine which local directory upload_file's path source can read
- Optional read-only deployment via NOTION_READ_ONLY=true or NOTION_ALLOWED_OPERATIONS=read; fine-grained control via NOTION_ALLOWED_OPERATIONS / NOTION_BLOCKED_OPERATIONS with group presets
| - Jira and Confluence provide read, write, and search permission groups
- Jira Service Management provides read and write access through API tokens only
- Bitbucket Cloud provides read and write access through scoped API tokens only
- Compass is available through OAuth 2.1 only
- The first OAuth installer for a site must have access to the Atlassian apps requested by the MCP scopes
- Organization administrators can manage domain controls, API-token authentication, app access, and audit logs
|
|---|
| Risks and side effects | - The token acts as you: a PAT sees everything you can see, so a leak equals workspace exposure — issue per-member tokens and revoke immediately if a device is lost
- When binding a non-loopback HTTP host, anyone reaching /mcp acts as your NOTION_TOKEN; failing to set MCP_AUTH_TOKEN is a serious exposure
- Without NOTION_UPLOAD_ROOT, an upload_file path source can read any file the server process can access
- Many write ops can modify or remove content: blocking the destructive group does not disable parameter-based removals like update_database's in_trash — use READ_ONLY or allow=read for guaranteed no-mutation
- HTTP mode is single-tenant with one shared token — unsuitable for multi-user sharing
| - AI clients can perform Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, and Compass actions on the user’s behalf
- Prompt injection, indirect prompt injection, and tool-poisoning attacks may cause data exfiltration or unintended changes
- Use least privilege, scoped tokens, and minimal project or workspace access
- Require human confirmation for high-impact or destructive actions and monitor audit logs
