Notion Local Ops Operator

notion-local-ops operator

Overview

This project has two runtime modes on macOS:

• ./scripts/dev-tunnel.sh for foreground dev sessions
• launchd-managed services for long-lived local MCP + cloudflared keepalive

Prefer launchd when the goal is “stay up even if a shell/tmux pane dies”.

Quick reference

• Install persistent services: ./scripts/install-launchd.sh
• Check service + endpoint status: ./scripts/launchd-status.sh
• Reload Python code without dropping the tunnel: ./scripts/launchd-reload.sh
• Force restart after dependency/config changes: ./scripts/launchd-restart.sh all
• Remove launchd services: ./scripts/uninstall-launchd.sh

Operational rules

• Keep the MCP supervisor and cloudflared as separate launchd services.
• Treat launchd-reload.sh as the default code-update path; it sends HUP to the supervisor so a fresh child server becomes ready before the old one drains.
• Use launchd-restart.sh mcp after .venv / dependency changes.
• Use launchd-restart.sh cloudflared after tunnel config changes.
• If install fails because the port is already bound, stop manual dev-tunnel.sh processes first.

Debug order

1. ./scripts/launchd-status.sh
2. Check local http://127.0.0.1:8766/mcp
3. Check public https://<hostname>/mcp if the tunnel config has a hostname
4. Inspect logs under ~/Library/Logs/notion-local-ops-mcp/

Common traps

• dev-tunnel.sh is not a durable keepalive service; closing the wrapper shell can still take everything down.
• launchd plists live under ~/Library/LaunchAgents/; do not commit installed plist artifacts back into the repo.
• launchd gets a minimal environment. Always set runtime env vars through .env or the install-time render path, not by assuming your interactive shell exports them.
