Implementation Reference
- src/client/index.ts:271-290 (handler)Core implementation of the notion_retrieve_comments tool: constructs query params for block_id and pagination, then fetches from Notion API /comments endpoint.async retrieveComments( block_id: string, start_cursor?: string, page_size?: number ): Promise<ListResponse> { const params = new URLSearchParams(); params.append("block_id", block_id); if (start_cursor) params.append("start_cursor", start_cursor); if (page_size) params.append("page_size", page_size.toString()); const response = await fetch( `${this.baseUrl}/comments?${params.toString()}`, { method: "GET", headers: this.headers, } ); return response.json(); }
- src/types/schemas.ts:398-424 (schema)Schema definition for the notion_retrieve_comments tool, including name, description, and input schema with required block_id and optional pagination/format.export const retrieveCommentsTool: Tool = { name: "notion_retrieve_comments", description: "Retrieve a list of unresolved comments from a Notion page or block.

- src/server/index.ts:237-249 (handler)Server-side handler case for notion_retrieve_comments: validates arguments and calls NotionClientWrapper.retrieveComments.case "notion_retrieve_comments": { const args = request.params .arguments as unknown as args.RetrieveCommentsArgs; if (!args.block_id) { throw new Error("Missing required argument: block_id"); } response = await notionClient.retrieveComments( args.block_id, args.start_cursor, args.page_size ); break; }
- src/server/index.ts:302-326 (registration)Registers the notion_retrieve_comments tool (as schemas.retrieveCommentsTool) in the list of available tools returned by ListToolsRequest.server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => { const allTools = [ schemas.appendBlockChildrenTool, schemas.retrieveBlockTool, schemas.retrieveBlockChildrenTool, schemas.deleteBlockTool, schemas.updateBlockTool, schemas.retrievePageTool, schemas.updatePagePropertiesTool, schemas.listAllUsersTool, schemas.retrieveUserTool, schemas.retrieveBotUserTool, schemas.createDatabaseTool, schemas.queryDatabaseTool, schemas.retrieveDatabaseTool, schemas.updateDatabaseTool, schemas.createDatabaseItemTool, schemas.createCommentTool, schemas.retrieveCommentsTool, schemas.searchTool, ]; return { tools: filterTools(allTools, enabledToolsSet), }; });
