Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function for the 'delete_block' tool. It deletes the specified Notion block using the Notion API and returns a success message with the response or handles errors.
    export const deleteBlock = async (
      params: DeleteBlockParams
    ): Promise<CallToolResult> => {
      try {
        const response = await notion.blocks.delete({
          block_id: params.blockId,
        });
    
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Block ${params.blockId} deleted (moved to trash) successfully`,
            },
            {
              type: "text",
              text: JSON.stringify(response, null, 2),
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return handleNotionError(error);
      }
    };
  • Registration/dispatch logic within the 'notion_blocks' tool handler that routes 'delete_block' action to the deleteBlock function.
    case "delete_block":
      return deleteBlock(params.payload.params);
  • Zod schema defining the input parameters for the 'delete_block' tool (blockId). Used in the BLOCKS_OPERATION_SCHEMA.
    export const DELETE_BLOCK_SCHEMA = {
      blockId: z.string().describe("The ID of the block to delete/archive"),
    };
  • Integration of 'delete_block' action and its schema into the overarching BLOCKS_OPERATION_SCHEMA for the 'notion_blocks' tool.
        .literal("delete_block")
        .describe("Use this action to delete/archive a block."),
      params: z.object(DELETE_BLOCK_SCHEMA),
    }),
  • Top-level registration of the 'notion_blocks' MCP tool, which includes the 'delete_block' action among others.
      "notion_blocks",
      "Perform various block operations (retrieve, update, delete, append children, batch operations)",
      BLOCKS_OPERATION_SCHEMA,
      registerBlocksOperationTool
    );
