Notion MCP Server: notion-texonom

Markdown based Notion navigating MCP with just a single ROOT_PAGE variable, eliminating the need for a token.

• Notion pages are converted into text/markdown mimeType notes.
• Search and retrieve relevant pages based on graph distance, considering parent-child and reference relationships.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing and interacting with Notion-based notes. This TypeScript-based server demonstrates MCP concepts by integrating resources, tools, and prompts to interact with Notion pages efficiently.
