Notion MCP Tools Now Use Official Notion Server

📌 Context

When you create a new Notion MCP tool in Dust, it will now use Notion's official MCP server instead of our previous implementation. We've made this change to improve both the user experience and the reliability of Notion integrations.

🔄 Impact on Dust

We've transitioned to Notion's official MCP server, which brings two significant improvements:

Better authentication model ("run as you"):

• The tool now has access to everything you can access in Notion—no need to manually select which pages to share

• When you modify a document or add a comment through Dust, it appears as coming from you, not from the Dust integration

Improved reliability:

• Better handling of page relations and databases

• Faster searches and fewer loops when finding related pages

• Overall more stable performance

Early feedback from users has been very positive, with reports of faster and more reliable operations.

👤 Impact for you

If you're creating new Notion MCP tools:

You'll automatically benefit from the improved official implementation. The authentication flow will be simpler, and you'll experience better performance.

If you already have Notion MCP tools:

Your existing tools will continue to work exactly as before using the previous implementation. There's no disruption to your current workflows.

Important clarification:

This change only affects Notion MCP tools (created under Spaces / Add Tools). Your Notion Connector remains completely unaffected and continues to work as usual.

✅ Actions required

No action required on your part for existing tools—they'll keep working as-is.

If you have agents that used Notion tools before, you can edit them and replace them with the new tools (once you have added them to your workspace).
