Set up Notion MCP in VS Code

Access and manage Notion pages, databases, and blocks. Create content, query databases, and organize your workspace from your AI editor.

1

Locate the config file

VS Code reads MCP server configuration from the following file:

.vscode/settings.json → mcp section

Create this file if it does not already exist. For VS Code, this is inside your workspace .vscode/settings.json file under the mcp section.

2

Add the configuration

Add the following to your VS Code config file:

json
{
  "servers": {
    "notion-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "notion-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NOTION_API_KEY": "YOUR_NOTION_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
3

Set up environment variables

Notion MCP requires the following environment variables:

NOTION_API_KEYRequired

Notion integration API key

4

Verify it works

Restart VS Code. Notion MCP should appear in your MCP server list with 10 tools available.

This server adds approximately 5,150 tokens to your context window for tool definitions.
