Description
The Notion MCP Server is the official integration from Notion that connects AI assistants directly to your Notion workspace via the Notion REST API. With 4,580+ GitHub stars, it is the canonical MCP tool for bringing Notion's knowledge management capabilities into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client. The server exposes a rich set of tools: search your entire workspace by keyword and return matching pages and databases; retrieve full page content and block trees; create new pages inside any parent page or workspace section; update, append, or delete block content on existing pages; list all databases your integration has access to; query database entries with filter and sort parameters; retrieve individual blocks or nested children by block ID; and add comments to pages. Authentication uses a Notion integration token — create an internal integration at notion.so/my-integrations, share specific pages or databases with it, and set NOTION_TOKEN in your environment (the older OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS form still works). Install with a single npx command. The Notion MCP Server is especially powerful for AI workflows that span documentation retrieval, project planning, and knowledge capture — Claude can read product specs from Notion, draft new pages from conversation output, log structured data into databases, and search across thousands of notes without any manual copy-paste.
The Stripe MCP server is Stripe's official Model Context Protocol integration, and the first thing to know is that it is not a package you install — it is a remote server Stripe hosts at https://mcp.stripe.com, and the documented connection mechanism is OAuth, not an API key. For Claude Code that is `claude mcp add --transport http stripe https://mcp.stripe.com/` followed by `claude /mcp` to complete consent; Cursor and VS Code take the bare URL, and ChatGPT accepts it as a custom connector on Pro, Plus, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts. An administrator has to enable MCP access in the Dashboard first, separately for sandbox and for live mode, which is the usual cause of a connection that refuses to authorise. Rather than one tool per endpoint, four generic tools carry most of the surface — stripe_api_search, stripe_api_details, stripe_api_read and stripe_api_write — so the tool schemas do not consume the context window, alongside dedicated create_refund, get_stripe_account_info, stripe_report, stripe_implementation_planner and search_stripe_documentation tools, plus a Treasury balance summary in public preview. Supported API methods span customers, charges, refunds, PaymentIntents, Checkout Sessions, invoices, subscriptions, coupons, promotion codes, products, prices, payment links, disputes, webhook endpoints, balance and balance transactions, payouts, tax settings and registrations, and Issuing. Clients that cannot do OAuth pass a restricted API key as a bearer token; Connect platforms acting as a connected account must use a restricted key plus a Stripe-Account header, since OAuth cannot express that. Sessions are revocable from Dashboard user settings under OAuth sessions, and Stripe recommends human confirmation of tools given prompt-injection risk.
