What it can access
- An MCP server is a program your AI app starts and talks to. A local one runs with your user's permissions: it can see the files, environment variables and network your account can.
- Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to read and write files on your machine.
- Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to connect to a database.
- Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to read or change your workspace data (docs, tickets, CRM).
Before you install
- Point it at one project folder, never your home directory.
- Give it a read-only database user unless it must write.
- Pin the version you reviewed instead of always installing the latest release.
- Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
- Maintained by awkoy on GitHub, 179 stars and 41 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.

Two ways to call: • Single: { operation: "set_page_title", payload: { page_id, title } } • Batch: { operation: "set_page_title", payload: { items: [{page_id,
notion_describeReturn the JSON Schema and a working example for one operation, plus which tool runs it (notion_read or notion_write). Use this BEFORE calling the operation when the payload shape is non-trivial (query filters, structured block trees, database property definitions). For simple ops, just call it — er
