Implementation Reference
- src/client/index.ts:80-87 (handler)Core implementation of the notion_delete_block tool: sends DELETE request to Notion API /blocks/{block_id} endpoint.async deleteBlock(block_id: string): Promise<BlockResponse> { const response = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}/blocks/${block_id}`, { method: "DELETE", headers: this.headers, }); return response.json(); }
- src/server/index.ts:90-98 (registration)Registers and handles the MCP CallToolRequest for 'notion_delete_block' by parsing arguments, validating block_id, and calling the client handler.case "notion_delete_block": { const args = request.params .arguments as unknown as args.DeleteBlockArgs; if (!args.block_id) { throw new Error("Missing required argument: block_id"); } response = await notionClient.deleteBlock(args.block_id); break; }
- src/types/schemas.ts:83-97 (schema)Defines the Tool schema for notion_delete_block, specifying input schema with required block_id.export const deleteBlockTool: Tool = { name: "notion_delete_block", description: "Delete a block in Notion", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { block_id: { type: "string", description: "The ID of the block to delete." + commonIdDescription, }, format: formatParameter, }, required: ["block_id"], }, };
