Notion

/notion — Notion Integration

Bridge your PM-Kit vault with Notion. Search, publish, sync, and link vault notes to Notion pages so you can share with stakeholders who live in Notion.

Context

Today's date: !date +%Y-%m-%d Config: @_core/config.yaml Active projects: !ls 01-index/*.md 2>/dev/null | sed 's|01-index/||;s|\.md||'

Input

User input: $ARGUMENTS

Sub-commands

Parse the first word of $ARGUMENTS to determine the sub-command:

Step 0: Connection Check

Before any sub-command (except setup), verify Notion MCP is available:

1. Try calling mcp__claude_ai_Notion__search with a simple query
2. If the tool call fails or Notion tools are not available:

Notion MCP is not connected yet.

Run `/notion setup` to connect — it takes about 30 seconds.

Then stop. Don't attempt other operations without a working connection.

setup — Connect Notion MCP

Guide the user through connecting Notion's remote MCP server to Claude Code.

Steps to present to user:

## Notion MCP Setup

Notion's MCP server is hosted by Notion — no local install needed.

### Step 1: Add the server
Run this in your terminal:

  claude mcp add --transport http notion https://mcp.notion.com/mcp

### Step 2: Authenticate
In a Claude Code session, run:

  /mcp

Then follow the OAuth flow — it'll open your browser to authorize Notion access.

### Step 3: Verify
Once authenticated, try:

  /notion

You should see your Notion workspace overview.

Optional enrichment: Mention the Notion plugin for Claude Code which bundles pre-built skills for common Notion workflows.

After presenting, ask if the user wants help running these commands now.

If the user confirms, run the claude mcp add command via Bash, then inform them they need to run /mcp themselves (it requires interactive browser auth that can't be automated).

Scope options

Explain scope if the user asks:

• --scope local (default): Available only in the current project
• --scope project: Shared with team via .mcp.json file (already configured in this vault)
• --scope user: Available across all projects

search — Search Notion

Find pages, databases, or content across the user's Notion workspace.

Processing

1. Parse query from $ARGUMENTS (everything after "search")
2. Search via Notion MCP — Use mcp__claude_ai_Notion__search with the query
3. Present results in a scannable format:

## Notion Search: "{query}"

Found {count} results:

| Title | Type | Last Edited | URL |
|-------|------|-------------|-----|
| {title} | {page/database} | {date} | {url} |

4. Offer actions: "Want to /notion pull any of these into the vault, or /notion link one to an existing note?"

Flags

• --type page|database — Filter by content type
• --team {name} — Filter by teamspace
• --since YYYY-MM-DD — Filter by creation date

publish — Push Vault Note to Notion

Convert a vault note to a Notion page so stakeholders can read it in Notion.

Input

Expects: /notion publish {vault-note-path-or-wikilink} with optional --parent {notion-page-url}

Processing

1. Resolve vault note — Find the note by path, wikilink, or fuzzy search
2. Read the note and extract:
   • Title from H1 or frontmatter
   • Body content (convert [[wikilinks]] to plain text or Notion links if targets are also published)
   • Frontmatter metadata for Notion page properties
3. Convert markdown to Notion format:
   • Vault [[wikilinks]] → plain text (or Notion page links if linked pages exist)
   • Preserve headings, lists, tables, code blocks
   • Convert frontmatter to a metadata callout at the top
4. Determine parent:
   • If --parent provided, use that Notion page/database
   • If note has notion: in frontmatter, update existing page instead
   • Otherwise, create as workspace-level page and ask user where to move it
5. Confirm with user before creating:

Publishing to Notion:
  Source: {vault-path}
  Title: {title}
  Parent: {parent-page or "workspace root"}

Proceed? (y/n)

6. Create/update the Notion page via mcp__claude_ai_Notion__notion-create-pages or mcp__claude_ai_Notion__notion-update-page
7. Link back — Add the Notion URL to the vault note's frontmatter:

   notion: {notion-page-url}
   

   And add to ## Links > ### Related:

   - [Notion: {title}]({url}) — Published to Notion
   

Batch publish

If the user provides a glob pattern or folder (e.g., /notion publish docs/my-project/), iterate over matching files and publish each one. Show progress via session tasks.

pull — Import Notion Page into Vault

Bring a Notion page's content into the vault as a properly formatted note.

Input

Expects: /notion pull {notion-url-or-page-id} with optional --type {doc|decision|blocker|meeting|inbox} and --project {project-id}

Processing

1. Fetch the Notion page via mcp__claude_ai_Notion__fetch
2. Determine note type — from --type flag, or infer from content/properties:
   • Has "Decision" or "ADR" → decision
   • Has task/blocker properties → blocker
   • Has meeting date/attendees → meeting
   • Default → doc
3. Determine project — from --project flag, or infer from Notion page location/tags, or ask
4. Convert to vault format:
   • Generate proper frontmatter (type, project, status, date, tags)
   • Add notion: {page-url} to frontmatter for linking back
   • Convert Notion-specific elements to standard markdown
   • Add ## Links section with project backlink
5. Generate filename following naming conventions:
   • Docs: docs/{project}/{slug}.md
   • Decisions: decisions/{project}/{date}-{slug}.md
   • Blockers: blockers/{project}/{date}-{slug}.md
   • Meetings: meetings/{project}/{date}-{slug}.md
   • Inbox: 00-inbox/{date}-{slug}.md
6. Write the note using the appropriate template from _templates/
7. Confirm: Show the created file path and a summary

sync — Two-way Sync

Keep a vault note and its linked Notion page in sync.

Processing

1. Resolve the vault note and check for notion: in frontmatter
2. If no Notion link exists, ask: "This note isn't linked to Notion yet. Want to /notion publish it first?"
3. Fetch both versions:
   • Read vault note
   • Fetch Notion page via mcp__claude_ai_Notion__fetch
4. Compare and show differences:

## Sync: {note-title}

Vault version: last modified {vault-date}
Notion version: last edited {notion-date}

### Differences found:
- Section "Requirements" differs
- Notion has additional section "Stakeholder Feedback"
- Vault has updated "Timeline" section

### Recommended action:
{newer-source} is more recent. Sync {direction}?

5. Apply sync based on user choice:
   • Vault → Notion: Update the Notion page with vault content
   • Notion → Vault: Update the vault note with Notion content
   • Manual merge: Show both versions side-by-side and let user choose per section

link — Connect Vault Note <-> Notion Page

Create a bidirectional reference between a vault note and a Notion page without syncing content.

Input

Expects: /notion link {vault-note} {notion-url-or-page-id}

Either argument can be omitted — prompt for missing info.

Processing

1. Resolve vault note — Find by path, wikilink, or fuzzy search
2. Resolve Notion page — By URL, page ID, or search
3. Update vault note:
   • Add notion: {page-url} to frontmatter
   • Add [Notion: {page-title}]({url}) to ## Links > ### Related
4. Comment on Notion page (optional, ask user):
   • Post a comment: "Linked to vault note: {note-title}"
5. Confirm:

Linked:
  Vault: {note-path}
  Notion: {page-title} ({url})

db — Database Operations

Query or interact with Notion databases.

Sub-commands

db query

1. Fetch the database via mcp__claude_ai_Notion__fetch to get its schema
2. Use mcp__claude_ai_Notion__search with data_source_url to query
3. Present results as a formatted table
4. Offer: "Want to pull any of these into the vault?"

db export

Export each row of a Notion database as individual vault notes. Useful for importing a project tracker, meeting log, or decision register from Notion into the vault.

1. Fetch the database and all rows
2. For each row, create a vault note using the appropriate template
3. Link each note back to its Notion source
4. Show summary of created files

(empty) — Status Overview

When called with no arguments, show a quick status:

1. Verify Notion MCP connection
2. Show workspace info (teams, user)
3. Show count of vault notes linked to Notion:

   grep -rl "^notion:" --include="*.md" | wc -l
   

## Notion Status

Connected as: {user-name}
Workspace: {workspace-name}
Vault links: {linked-count} notes linked to Notion

### Recently Linked
- {note-path} → {notion-page-title}
  ...

Available Notion MCP Tools

Use the right tool for each operation. The tool name prefix is mcp__claude_ai_Notion__.

Key patterns

• Always fetch before update: Call fetch to get current page content/schema before using notion-update-page. The update_content command needs exact old_str matches.
• Database workflow: Fetch database → get data source URLs (collection://...) → use data source ID for creating pages or querying.
• Templates: Fetch a database to see available templates in <templates> section. Pass template_id when creating pages — don't include content when using a template.
• Date properties: Split into date:{prop}:start, date:{prop}:end, date:{prop}:is_datetime.
• Checkbox properties: Use __YES__ / __NO__, not true/false.
• Rate limits: 180 requests/min general, 30/min for search. Avoid parallel searches.

Output

All sub-commands output to terminal. Only publish, pull, sync, and link modify vault files.

When modifying vault files, follow all vault conventions:

• Use [[wikilinks]] for internal references
• Maintain ## Links sections per linking rules
• Respect frontmatter format per markdown standards
• Always use templates from _templates/ when creating new notes
