notion-mcp-server vs restheart
notion-mcp-server: This project provides a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Notion API, offering powerful tools specifically designed for AI agents to interact with Notion content efficiently. It supports various client integrations and deployment methods, enabling AI to manage Notion pages and data sources.; restheart: RESTHeart exposes your data through a native MCP server and full REST and GraphQL APIs, so AI agents and developers can read and write without custom integration code. It ships with authentication, authorization, and a plugin system for custom business logic. Available as Docker image and GraalVM native binary.
TL;DR
- You want a local Notion server you run with npx or Docker, using an internal integration token.
- You want access limited to the pages and databases you connect to the integration, or a read-only token.
- Your prompts work with Notion API data sources: v2.0 has 21 tools on the 2025-09-03 API.
- You want the supported option: the README says Notion prioritises its remote Notion MCP and may sunset this repository.
- You need issues answered: the README says issues and pull requests here are not actively monitored.
- You do not want to manage tokens: the remote Notion MCP uses standard OAuth instead.
AI agent backends: give agents production-grade MongoDB backend via MCP
