Implementation Reference
- src/client/index.ts:111-124 (handler)Core implementation of the tool: makes PATCH request to Notion API /pages/{page_id} to update properties.async updatePageProperties( page_id: string, properties: Record<string, any> ): Promise<PageResponse> { const body = { properties }; const response = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}/pages/${page_id}`, { method: "PATCH", headers: this.headers, body: JSON.stringify(body), }); return response.json(); }
- src/types/schemas.ts:138-159 (schema)Defines the MCP Tool schema: name, description, inputSchema for notion_update_page_properties.export const updatePagePropertiesTool: Tool = { name: "notion_update_page_properties", description: "Update properties of a page or an item in a Notion database", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { page_id: { type: "string", description: "The ID of the page or database item to update." + commonIdDescription, }, properties: { type: "object", description: "Properties to update. These correspond to the columns or fields in the database.", }, format: formatParameter, }, required: ["page_id", "properties"], }, };
- src/server/index.ts:123-136 (registration)Dispatch handler in switch case for CallToolRequest: validates args and calls NotionClientWrapper.updatePageProperties.case "notion_update_page_properties": { const args = request.params .arguments as unknown as args.UpdatePagePropertiesArgs; if (!args.page_id || !args.properties) { throw new Error( "Missing required arguments: page_id and properties" ); } response = await notionClient.updatePageProperties( args.page_id, args.properties ); break; }
- src/server/index.ts:303-322 (registration)Registers the tool in the allTools array for the ListToolsRequest handler.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, ];
