Implementation Reference
- server.js:594-610 (handler)The handler logic for the 'get-block' tool. It extracts the block_id from arguments, removes any dashes from the ID, retrieves the block using the Notion SDK's notion.blocks.retrieve method, and returns the response as a JSON string in a text content block.
else if (name === "get-block") { let { block_id } = args; // Remove dashes if present in block_id block_id = block_id.replace(/-/g, ""); const response = await notion.blocks.retrieve({ block_id }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response, null, 2), }, ], }; } - server.js:268-281 (registration)Registration of the 'get-block' tool in the response to the tools/list MCP method, providing the tool's name, description, and input schema.
