API-retrieve-a-page

Retrieve specific Notion page content using its unique identifier, optionally filtering properties to access targeted information from your workspace.

Instructions

Retrieve a page

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
page_idYesIdentifier for a Notion page
filter_propertiesNoA list of page property value IDs associated with the page. Use this param to limit the response to a specific page property value or values. To retrieve multiple properties, specify each page property ID. For example: `?filter_properties=iAk8&filter_properties=b7dh`.

Implementation Reference

  • Core handler logic for executing 'API-retrieve-a-page': looks up OpenAPI operation, calls HTTP client to proxy to Notion API, caches response, and returns JSON in MCP format
    // Find the operation in OpenAPI spec const operation = this.findOperation(name) if (!operation) { const error = `Method ${name} not found.` console.error(error) return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ status: 'error', message: error, code: 404 }), }, ], } } // Optimized parallel processing for API-get-block-children if (name === 'API-get-block-children') { // Create basic options for logging control const blockOptions: RecursiveExplorationOptions = { runInBackground: false, // Default to not showing logs for regular API calls }; return await this.handleBlockChildrenParallel(operation, params, blockOptions); } // Other regular API calls console.log(`Notion API call: ${operation.method.toUpperCase()} ${operation.path}`) const response = await this.httpClient.executeOperation(operation, params) // Log response summary console.log('Notion API response code:', response.status) if (response.status !== 200) { console.error('Response error:', response.data) } else { console.log('Response success') } // Update cache with response data this.updateCacheFromResponse(name, response.data); // Convert response to MCP format return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response.data), }, ], }
  • Generates the inputSchema and description for 'retrieve-a-page' tool (prefixed to API-) from OpenAPI operation parameters, requestBody, and responses
    private convertOperationToMCPMethod(operation: OpenAPIV3.OperationObject, method: string, path: string): NewToolMethod | null { if (!operation.operationId) { console.warn(`Operation without operationId at ${method} ${path}`) return null } const methodName = operation.operationId const inputSchema: IJsonSchema & { type: 'object' } = { $defs: this.convertComponentsToJsonSchema(), type: 'object', properties: {}, required: [], } // Handle parameters (path, query, header, cookie) if (operation.parameters) { for (const param of operation.parameters) { const paramObj = this.resolveParameter(param) if (paramObj && paramObj.schema) { const schema = this.convertOpenApiSchemaToJsonSchema(paramObj.schema, new Set(), false) // Merge parameter-level description if available if (paramObj.description) { schema.description = paramObj.description } inputSchema.properties![paramObj.name] = schema if (paramObj.required) { inputSchema.required!.push(paramObj.name) } } } } // Handle requestBody if (operation.requestBody) { const bodyObj = this.resolveRequestBody(operation.requestBody) if (bodyObj?.content) { // Handle multipart/form-data for file uploads // We convert the multipart/form-data schema to a JSON schema and we require // that the user passes in a string for each file that points to the local file if (bodyObj.content['multipart/form-data']?.schema) { const formSchema = this.convertOpenApiSchemaToJsonSchema(bodyObj.content['multipart/form-data'].schema, new Set(), false) if (formSchema.type === 'object' && formSchema.properties) { for (const [name, propSchema] of Object.entries(formSchema.properties)) { inputSchema.properties![name] = propSchema } if (formSchema.required) { inputSchema.required!.push(...formSchema.required!) } } } // Handle application/json else if (bodyObj.content['application/json']?.schema) { const bodySchema = this.convertOpenApiSchemaToJsonSchema(bodyObj.content['application/json'].schema, new Set(), false) // Merge body schema into the inputSchema's properties if (bodySchema.type === 'object' && bodySchema.properties) { for (const [name, propSchema] of Object.entries(bodySchema.properties)) { inputSchema.properties![name] = propSchema } if (bodySchema.required) { inputSchema.required!.push(...bodySchema.required!) } } else { // If the request body is not an object, just put it under "body" inputSchema.properties!['body'] = bodySchema inputSchema.required!.push('body') } } } } // Build description including error responses let description = operation.summary || operation.description || '' if (operation.responses) { const errorResponses = Object.entries(operation.responses) .filter(([code]) => code.startsWith('4') || code.startsWith('5')) .map(([code, response]) => { const responseObj = this.resolveResponse(response) let errorDesc = responseObj?.description || '' return `${code}: ${errorDesc}` }) if (errorResponses.length > 0) { description += '\nError Responses:\n' + errorResponses.join('\n') } } // Extract return type (response schema) const returnSchema = this.extractResponseType(operation.responses) // Generate Zod schema from input schema try { // const zodSchemaStr = jsonSchemaToZod(inputSchema, { module: "cjs" }) // console.log(zodSchemaStr) // // Execute the function with the zod instance // const zodSchema = eval(zodSchemaStr) as z.ZodType return { name: methodName, description, inputSchema, ...(returnSchema ? { returnSchema } : {}), } } catch (error) { console.warn(`Failed to generate Zod schema for ${methodName}:`, error) // Fallback to a basic object schema return { name: methodName, description, inputSchema, ...(returnSchema ? { returnSchema } : {}), } } }
  • Registers 'API-retrieve-a-page' in the MCP tools list by constructing tool name from OpenAPI-derived methods and adding to response
    Object.entries(this.tools).forEach(([toolName, def]) => { def.methods.forEach(method => { const toolNameWithMethod = `${toolName}-${method.name}`; const truncatedToolName = this.truncateToolName(toolNameWithMethod); tools.push({ name: truncatedToolName, description: method.description, inputSchema: method.inputSchema as Tool['inputSchema'], }) console.log(`- ${truncatedToolName}: ${method.description}`) }) })
  • Helper function updates pageCache specifically for 'API-retrieve-a-page' responses
    if (apiName === 'API-retrieve-a-page' && data.object === 'page' && data.id) { this.pageCache.set(data.id, data); } else if (apiName === 'API-retrieve-a-block' && data.object === 'block' && data.id) {
  • Helper to lookup OpenAPI operation details for tool names like 'API-retrieve-a-page' from pre-converted lookup table
    private findOperation(operationId: string): (OpenAPIV3.OperationObject & { method: string; path: string }) | null { return this.openApiLookup[operationId] ?? null }
