About

Notion ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 17 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Notion reads and writes pages, databases and blocks from a workflow — creating a page directly or as a new row in a database, updating a database page’s properties, and appending blocks to build out a page’s content programmatically.

Databases are a first-class part of the surface: they can be listed, searched and read individually, and their pages fetched one at a time or in bulk, which is what lets a workflow treat a Notion database as a lightweight structured store rather than only writing unstructured pages. Pages can be archived and restored, and both pages and databases are searchable by title across a workspace. Users can be listed or looked up individually too.

A fit for turning external data into a new Notion page or database row, keeping a database in sync with another system, or pulling structured content out of Notion for use elsewhere in a workflow.

Build with Notion

Three routes to the same 17 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Notion's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Append Block Children

append-block-children

Append an array of blocks under a parent block or page.

Archive Page

archive-page

Archive (soft-delete) a page. Reversible with restore-page.

Create Database Page

create-database-page

Create a page inside a database. Provide the `properties` map keyed by property name.

Create Page

create-page

Create a page as a child of another page.

Get Block

get-block

Retrieve a single block by ID.

Get Database

get-database

Retrieve a single database by ID.

Get Database Page

get-database-page

Retrieve a single database page by ID.

Get Many Blocks

get-many-blocks

List the direct children of a block (or a page). Returns one page — pass `startCursor` back to walk.

Get Many Database Pages

get-many-database-pages

Query the pages in a database. Returns one page — pass `startCursor` back to walk.

Get Many Databases

get-many-databases

Walk /search until every database has been fetched (or `limit` is reached).

Get Many Users

get-many-users

List every user in the workspace. Returns one page — pass `startCursor` back to walk.

Get User

get-user

Retrieve a single Notion user by ID.

List Databases

list-databases

List all databases the integration has access to. One page per call — pass `startCursor` back to walk.

Restore Page

restore-page

Restore a previously archived page.

Search Databases

search-databases

Search databases by title. Returns one page — pass `startCursor` back to walk.

Search Pages

search-pages

Search pages by title, or list all pages the integration can access.

Update Database Page

update-database-page

Update a database page's properties, icon, cover, or archived flag.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Notion's real ids.

{
  "manifestVersion": "2",
  "name": "notion-example",
  "steps": [
    {
      "id": "append-block-children",
      "uses": {
        "app": "io.w6w.notion",
        "action": "append-block-children",
        "connection": "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID"
      },
      "with": {
        "blockId": "<blockId>",
        "children": "<children>"

+12 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Notion, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Notion. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "create-page",
  payload: {
    parentPageId: "<value>",
    title: "<value>",
    // children: "<value>",
    // icon: "<value>",
    // cover: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action create-page --payload '{"parentPageId":"<value>","title":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Notion — without giving it Notion's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.notion#append-block-children",
    "input": {
      "blockId": "<blockId>",
      "children": "<children>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Notion connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Notion's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Notion itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Notion declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
