Notion Automation via Rube MCP
Automate Notion operations through Composio's Notion toolkit via Rube MCP.
Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Notion connection via
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit notion
- Always call
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas
Setup
Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
- Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
- Call
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit notion
- If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Notion OAuth
- Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
Core Workflows
1. Create and Manage Pages
When to use: User wants to create, update, or archive Notion pages
Tool sequence:
NOTION_SEARCH_NOTION_PAGE - Find parent page or existing page [Prerequisite]NOTION_CREATE_NOTION_PAGE - Create a new page under a parent [Optional]NOTION_RETRIEVE_PAGE - Get page metadata/properties [Optional]NOTION_UPDATE_PAGE - Update page properties, title, icon, cover [Optional]NOTION_ARCHIVE_NOTION_PAGE - Soft-delete (archive) a page [Optional]
Key parameters:
query: Search text for SEARCH_NOTION_PAGEparent_id: Parent page or database IDpage_id: Page ID for retrieval/update/archiveproperties: Page property values matching parent schema
Pitfalls:
- RETRIEVE_PAGE returns only metadata/properties, NOT body content; use FETCH_BLOCK_CONTENTS for page body
- ARCHIVE_NOTION_PAGE is a soft-delete (sets archived=true), not permanent deletion
- Broad searches can look incomplete unless has_more/next_cursor is fully paginated
2. Query and Manage Databases
When to use: User wants to query database rows, insert entries, or update records
