Implementation Reference
- src/client/index.ts:138-145 (handler)The actual implementation of retrievePage method that makes a GET request to Notion's /pages/{page_id} endpoint to retrieve page data
async retrievePage(page_id: string): Promise<PageResponse> { const response = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}/pages/${page_id}`, { method: "GET", headers: this.headers, }); return response.json(); } - src/server/index.ts:128-136 (registration)The request handler case for 'notion_retrieve_page' that validates the page_id argument and calls the client's retrievePage method
case "notion_retrieve_page": { const args = request.params .arguments as unknown as args.RetrievePageArgs; if (!args.page_id) { throw new Error("Missing required argument: page_id"); } response = await notionClient.retrievePage(args.page_id); break; } - src/types/schemas.ts:157-171 (schema)The MCP tool schema definition for 'notion_retrieve_page' specifying the input parameters (page_id, format) and description
export const retrievePageTool: Tool = { name: "notion_retrieve_page", description: "Retrieve a page from Notion", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { page_id: { type: "string", description: "The ID of the page to retrieve." + commonIdDescription, }, format: formatParameter, }, required: ["page_id"], }, }; - src/types/args.ts:46-49 (schema)TypeScript interface defining the arguments type for the retrievePage tool (page_id and optional format parameter)
export interface RetrievePageArgs { page_id: string; format?: "json" | "markdown"; } - src/server/index.ts:324-325 (registration)Registration of the retrievePageTool in the allTools array that gets returned by the ListToolsRequestSchema handler
