Notion Importer

Notion Importer Skill

Import Notion pages into the project vault using the claude.ai Notion MCP server. This skill calls MCP tools directly from a live Claude session — no subprocess needed.

Trigger Phrases

English: "import notion", "notion docs", "sync notion", "sync notion pages", "import notion pages" Russian: "импортируй notion", "обнови notion", "обнови notion docs", "синхронизируй notion"

Required Setup

The project must have .claude/notion_pages.json configured. Run claude-dev-stack notion add <url> to add pages.

Import Steps

1. Read config: Load .claude/notion_pages.json to get the list of pages.

cat .claude/notion_pages.json

2. Fetch each page: For each page in config.pages, call the notion-fetch MCP tool with the page_id to retrieve markdown content. Use the MCP tool directly:

notion-fetch(page_id: "<page_id>")

Or use notion-search MCP tool if you need to locate pages by title.

3. Determine vault path: Use the vault_path field from the page config (default: docs/notion). Resolve against the vault project directory: vault/projects/{project-slug}/docs/notion/

4. Write with provenance: Each imported file gets a frontmatter stamp:

---
notion_page_id: <page_id>
notion_last_synced: <ISO timestamp>
notion_content_hash: <SHA-256 of content below frontmatter>
---

<page content>

5. 3-way hash check (overwrite protection, per D-06):

   • If file does not exist → create it with stamp (status: created)
   • If notion_content_hash in frontmatter matches hash of new content → skip (status: unchanged)
   • If local body hash matches stored notion_content_hash (no local edits) → overwrite in place (status: updated)
   • If local body hash differs from stored notion_content_hash (local edits detected) → write {filename}.notion-update.md sibling and warn (status: conflict)

6. Filename convention: Use the page title for the filename, cleaned with the same rules as cleanNotionFilename() in lib/docs.mjs — strip Notion UUID suffixes, lowercase, replace spaces with hyphens. Example: My Page abc123... → my-page.md

7. Report results: Print a summary of created/updated/unchanged/conflict counts.

Important Notes

• Use MCP tools directly — call notion-fetch or notion-search from the Claude session. Do NOT spawn node, claude mcp call, or any subprocess.
• The notion_pages.json config is per-project (.claude/notion_pages.json).
• After import, existing notebooklm sync picks up the new files automatically.
• If the Notion MCP server is not configured, run: claude mcp add notion
• Check MCP status: claude mcp list

Example Session

User: импортируй notion
Claude: [reads .claude/notion_pages.json]
        [calls notion-fetch(page_id: "abc123...") via MCP]
        [writes vault/projects/myproject/docs/notion/my-page.md with frontmatter]
        Summary: 1 created, 0 updated, 0 unchanged, 0 conflicts
