Open-Source Notion MCP Server (TypeScript, SSE, Apify)

Hello HN, I built this because I wanted to give Claude Desktop access to my Notion workspace without running a flaky local Python script via stdio. This is a Node.js/Express implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) for transport. It’s designed to be stateless and deployable as a container (I'm hosting it on Apify, but it works anywhere with Node). The Stack: TypeScript + Express @modelcontextprotocol/sdk Zod for input validation Bearer Auth for security (since it exposes an HTTP endpoint) Capabilities: It allows the LLM to search pages,…

Connect Claude Desktop (and other MCP clients) directly to Notion using a real MCP server with SSE support. No flaky local scripts. No tokens in URLs. Run it securely in the cloud. docker build -t notion-mcp-server . docker run -p 8080:8080 --env-file .env notion-mcp-server ⚙️ Configuration This project is designed to read configuration from environment variables (and Apify Actor input). Add (or merge) something like this into claude_desktop_config.json : { "mcpServers" : { "notion" : { "command" : " node " , "args" : [ " /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/dist/start-apify.js " ], "env" : { "NOTION_TOKEN" : " YOUR_NOTION_TOKEN " , "SECRET_TOKEN" : " YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN " } } } } On Apify, you typically…from github.com

    Hi HN, Luigi here. We maintain mcp-use an open-source TypeScript framework for building MCP servers and MCP Apps: https://github.com/mcp-use/mcp-use MCP is now (finally) stateless so we rewrote mcp-use v2 from scratch for the 2026-07-28 MCP spec revision: https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2026-07-28/ Thanks to the rebuild: - Throughput: +27% → from 8,615 to 10,982 median ops/sec - Cold launch: 2.2x faster → from 151.6 ms to 68.1 ms - Clean install: 82% smaller → from 404.6 MiB to 74.4 MiB Benchmark with methodology here:…

  • An MCP server that gives LLMs temporal awareness and time calculation2025 · github.com · ▲91

    This is an open‑source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives any LLM a sense of the passage of time. Most MCP demos wire LLMs to external data stores. That’s useful, but MCP is also a chance to give models perception — extra senses beyond the prompt text. Six functions (`current_datetime`, `time_difference`, `timestamp_context`, etc.) give Claude&#x2F;GPT real temporal awareness: It can spot pauses, reason about rhythms, and even label a chat’s “three‑act structure”. Runs locally in <60 s (Python) or via a hosted demo. If time works, what else could we surface? - Location &#x2F;…

    Read this article by Cloudflare this morning https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.cloudflare.com&#x2F;code-mode&#x2F; the main argument being that LLMs are much better at writing typescript code than tool calls because they've seen typescript code many more times.

  • Minimal MCP server in Go showcasing project architecture2025 · github.com · ▲83

    I'm relatively new to Go, but recently got interested in how MCP servers work. I started thinking about what the architecture of such a project might look like, and decided to build a minimalist version as an experiment. I based it on my past experience writing regular REST API servers and figured it might be useful or interesting to others as well.
