# Notion MCP Routing Reference

**App name:** `notion`
**Base URL proxied:** `mcp.notion.com`

## Request Headers

MCP requests use the `Mcp-Session-Id` header for session management. If not specified, the gateway initializes a new session and returns the session ID in the `Mcp-Session-Id` response header. You can include this session ID in subsequent requests to reuse the same session.

## Connection Management

Manage MCP connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

### List Connections

```bash
GET https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=notion&method=MCP&status=ACTIVE
$1[REDACTED_BEARER_TOKEN]
```

### Create Connection

```bash
POST https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections
Content-Type: application/json
$1[REDACTED_BEARER_TOKEN]

{
  "app": "notion",
  "method": "MCP"
}
```

## API Path Pattern

```
/notion/{tool-name}
```

## Property Types

When creating or updating pages in databases:

| Property Type | Format |
|---------------|--------|
| Title | `"Title Property": "Page Title"` |
| Text | `"Text Property": "Some text"` |
| Number | `"Number Property": 42` |
| Checkbox | `"Checkbox Property": "__YES__"` or `"__NO__"` |
| Select | `"Select Property": "Option Name"` |
| Multi-select | `"Multi Property": "Option1, Option2"` |
| Date (start) | `"date:Date Property:start": "[REDACTED_PHONE]"` |
| Date (end) | `"date:Date Property:end": "[REDACTED_PHONE]"` |
| Date (is datetime) | `"date:Date Property:is_datetime": 1` |
| Place (name) | `"place:Location:name": "Office HQ"` |
| Place (coordinates) | `"place:Location:latitude": 37.7749` |

**Note:** Properties named "id" or "url" must be prefixed with `userDefined:` (e.g., `"userDefined:URL"`).

## Notes

- All IDs are UUIDs (with or without hyphens)
- Use `notion-fetch` to get page/database structure before creating or updating
- For databases, fetch first to get the data source ID (`collection://...` URL)
- If multiple Notion connections exist, specify which to use with `Maton-Connection` header
- Session can be reused by passing the `Mcp-Session-Id` header from previous responses
