Cursor Notion MCP - Chat Logger

# Sharing Your Cursor Notion MCP with Others ## 🎯 What You've Created You now have a **standalone, shareable repository** that others can use to connect their own Cursor IDE to their own Notion workspace. ## 📦 Repository Contents ``` cursor-notion-mcp/ ├── mcp_notion_server.py # Main MCP server (the core!) ├── test_mcp_notion.py # Test suite ├── verify_cursor_mcp.sh # Quick verification ├── requirements.txt # Python dependencies ├── README.md # Main documentation ├── SETUP.md # Detailed setup guide ├── GITHUB_SETUP.md # How to push to GitHub ├── SHARING_GUIDE.md # This file ├── LICENSE # MIT License └── .gitignore # Ignores secrets ``` ## 🔒 Security Model ### What's Shared (Public) ✅ **Code** - The MCP server implementation ✅ **Documentation** - Setup guides and instructions ✅ **Tests** - Verification and testing scripts ### What's NOT Shared (Private) ❌ **Your Notion API Key** - Never committed to git ❌ **Your Database ID** - Never committed to git ❌ **Your Chat Logs** - Stored only in your Notion workspace ❌ **Your `~/.cursor/mcp.json`** - Local configuration file ## 👥 How Others Will Use It ### Step 1: They Clone Your Repository ```bash git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/cursor-notion-mcp.git cd cursor-notion-mcp pip3 install -r requirements.txt ``` ### Step 2: They Create Their Own Notion Integration 1. Go to [notion.so/my-integrations](https://www.notion.so/my-integrations) 2. Create a new integration 3. Get their own `secret_...` token ### Step 3: They Create Their Own Notion Database 1. Create a database in their Notion workspace 2. Add the required properties (Prompt, Response, User, Context, Timestamp) 3. Share it with their integration 4. Get their database ID ### Step 4: They Configure Their Cursor Edit their own `~/.cursor/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "notion-chat-logger": { "command": "python3", "args": ["/their/path/to/cursor-notion-mcp/mcp_notion_server.py"], "env": { "NOTION_API_KEY": "secret_THEIR_OWN_TOKEN", "NOTION_DATABASE_ID": "THEIR_OWN_DATABASE_ID" } } } } ``` ### Step 5: They Use It! - Restart Cursor - Type `@store_chat_log` in chat - Their conversations log to **their own** Notion workspace ## 🌍 Data Flow (Multi-User) ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ User A (You) │ │ │ │ Cursor → mcp_notion_server.py → Notion API │ │ ↓ │ │ Your Notion Workspace │ │ (Your API Key) │ │ (Your Database) │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ User B (Someone Else) │ │ │ │ Cursor → mcp_notion_server.py → Notion API │ │ (same code!) ↓ │ │ Their Notion Workspace │ │ (Their API Key) │ │ (Their Database) │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ User C (Another Person) │ │ │ │ Cursor → mcp_notion_server.py → Notion API │ │ (same code!) ↓ │ │ Their Notion Workspace │ │ (Their API Key) │ │ (Their Database) │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` **Key Point**: Everyone uses the same code, but connects to their own Notion workspace with their own credentials. ## 🚀 Pushing to GitHub Follow `GITHUB_SETUP.md` to: 1.
