Best for
  • Heavy Notion users who want Markdown-based collaboration with AI agents
  • Developers integrating Notion workflows into Claude Code, Cursor, and similar clients
  • Automation scenarios needing the full Notion surface: uploads, comments, block-level edits
  • Users who already rely on Anytype as a personal or collaborative knowledge base
  • Users who want to create and manage Anytype objects quickly with natural language
  • Advanced users running the Anytype desktop app locally who want AI assistant integration
Not for
  • Users seeking a server officially supported by Notion (this is third-party open source)
  • Users unwilling to grant a Notion integration token or complete OAuth consent
  • Environments with Node.js < 24 and no Docker available
  • Users without Anytype installed or running and unable to obtain an API key
  • Scenarios needing a remotely hosted service instead of a local stdio process
  • Users who want zero configuration without setting environment variables
Required permissions
  • Requires a Notion integration token (ntn_ prefix); it can only access pages explicitly shared with the integration
  • HTTP mode requires a Notion Public Integration OAuth client ID and secret
  • Token is passed via the NOTION_TOKEN environment variable and is a secret
  • Requires an Anytype API key passed via an Authorization: Bearer header
  • Needs access to the local Anytype API service (default http://127.0.0.1:31009)
  • Passes authentication headers through the OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS environment variable, treated as secret
  • Runs an npx command locally as a stdio subprocess
Risks and side effects
  • Third-party project not maintained by Notion; review the code yourself
  • In stdio mode the token is stored AES-GCM encrypted in a local config file, but the integration token itself is broad in scope
  • In hosted HTTP mode tokens live only in process memory and are cleared on restart
  • Setting MCP_AUTH_DISABLE=1 on a shared/public deployment collapses all users into a single token bucket -- a serious risk
  • Earlier versions had instability around credential handling and daemon-bridge auto-spawn; use the latest release
  • OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS contains the API key; leaking this configuration can expose Anytype data
  • The server can create and modify spaces, objects and lists on behalf of the key owner
  • Running npx -y downloads and executes package code from npm
  • Pointing ANYTYPE_API_BASE_URL at an untrusted address can send authentication headers there
