Query Notion Database

Use the Notion MCP server to query a database on the user's behalf.

Workflow

  1. Interpret the request to extract:
    • Target database (by name or ID)
    • Optional filter(s) or sort(s) the user describes.
  2. If multiple databases match the name, ask the user to choose the correct one.
  3. Perform a query that:
    • Applies the requested filters (e.g. status = Active, owner = Alice, due date this week).
    • Limits to a reasonable number of rows (e.g. 20-50) unless the user explicitly asks for more.
  4. Present the results in a compact table-like format with:
    • Key properties (e.g. Name, Status, Owner, Due).
    • A short summary if the database has rich text content.
  5. If no rows match, say so clearly and suggest alternative filters.

Important

Avoid dumping raw JSON. Focus on readability and decision-making value for the user.
