Best for
  • Programming agents that need iterative diagram design
  • Teams that want diagrams managed as repository artifacts
  • Environments using agents like Claude Code, Cursor
  • 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
  • Teams and individuals who already manage docs/wikis in Notion and want AI clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) to operate on that content directly
  • Developers who want to self-host a local MCP server rather than use a remote hosted option
  • Automation/agent workflows that need to query or update Notion database records programmatically
Not for
  • One-shot diagram generation where the official MCP might be simpler
  • Scenarios requiring persistent storage (canvas is in-memory by default, clears on restart)
  • 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
  • Users who want the standard-OAuth, zero-JSON-config install with active official support — Notion recommends its newer remote Notion MCP server for that
  • Users uncomfortable handing a Notion integration token to a locally-run LLM client
  • Use cases needing capabilities the integration deliberately excludes, such as deleting databases
  • Long-term production deployments that need guaranteed maintenance, given this repo may be sunset
Required permissions
  • Local network access: canvas server binds to 127.0.0.1:3000 by default
  • File system: export and import .excalidraw files
  • Optional share feature uploads an encrypted scene to excalidraw.com
  • 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
  • A Notion internal integration token (NOTION_TOKEN or the Authorization value in OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS), scoped by that integration's Capabilities (can be limited to read-only)
  • Access limited to the specific pages/databases explicitly connected to the integration, not the whole workspace
  • A separate bearer auth token when using the Streamable HTTP transport (--auth-token / AUTH_TOKEN)
  • Network access to the Notion API
Risks and side effects
  • Canvas data is stored in memory; restarting the server clears all elements
  • If configured to listen on non-loopback addresses, the API has no built-in authentication
  • Share feature depends on excalidraw.com service, may be affected by network
  • 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
  • If the integration is granted broad read/write capabilities and connected to many pages, that content is effectively exposed to the LLM, risking data leakage or unintended edits
  • Running with --unsafe-disable-auth removes bearer authentication on the HTTP transport, potentially making it reachable via DNS rebinding from pages a user visits — the README says to only use it on an isolated network
  • Multi-tenant token passthrough requires careful TLS/gateway configuration; misconfiguration risks leaking or misrouting Notion tokens between tenants
  • The README states this local server may be sunset in favor of the remote Notion MCP, and that issues/PRs here are not actively monitored, so long-term maintenance and security fixes are not guaranteed
  • Storing NOTION_TOKEN or OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS directly in shared client config files risks leaking the secret
