Notion ByteBuddy Guide

This guide introduces how to use Notion MCP to build intelligent knowledge management systems, enabling ByteBuddy to deeply integrate with Notion workspaces.

Overview

Notion MCP provides comprehensive access to the Notion API, allowing ByteBuddy to:

• Automate document management
• Create intelligent databases
• Generate content summaries
• Sync project information

Configuration

1. Install Notion MCP

npm install -g notion-mcp-server

2. Configure ByteBuddy

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["notion-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "NOTION_TOKEN": "your-notion-integration-token",
        "NOTION_VERSION": "2022-06-28"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Create Notion Integration

1. Visit Notion Integrations
2. Create a new integration
3. Get Integration Token
4. Share relevant pages in your workspace

Use Cases

Scenario 1: Project Knowledge Base Management

// Automatic project knowledge base
class ProjectKnowledgeBase {
  async createProjectDocumentation(projectName: string, repository: string) {
    // Create project homepage
    const projectPage = await mcp.call("notion.createPage", {
      parent: { type: "page_id", page_id: "workspace_root" },
      properties: {
        title: { title: [{ text: { content: projectName } }] },
        Type: { select: { name: "Project" } },
        Status: { select: { name: "Active" } },
      },
      children: this.generateProjectTemplate(projectName, repository),
    });

    // Create subpages
    await this.createDocumentationPages(projectPage.id, projectName);

    // Set up database relationships
    await this.setupProjectDatabase(projectPage.id, projectName);

    return projectPage;
  }

  private generateProjectTemplate(projectName: string, repository: string) {
    return [
      {
        object: "block",
        type: "heading_2",
        heading_2: { rich_text: [{ text: { content: "Project Overview" }] },
      },
      {

        type: "paragraph",
        paragraph: {
          rich_text: [
            {
              text: {
                content: `Project Name: ${projectName}\nRepository: ${repository}`,
              },
            },
          ],
        },
      },
      {
        object: "block",
        type: "heading_2",
        heading_2: { rich_text: [{ text: { content: "Quick Links" }] },
      },
      {

Best Practices

1. Template Management

// Template management system
class TemplateManager {
  async createProjectTemplate() {
    return {
      properties: {
        "Project Name": { title: {} },
        Status: {
          select: {
            options: [
              { name: "Initiation", color: "green" },
              { name: "Planning", color: "blue" },
              { name: "Execution", color: "yellow" },
              { name: "Closing", color: "purple" },
            ],
          },
        },
      },
      template: {
        blocks: [
          {
            type: "heading_1",
            content: "Project Overview",
          },
          {
            type: "column_list",
            columns: [
              {
                blocks: [
                  { type: "heading_3", content: "Project Goals" },
                  {
                    type: "toggle",
                    title: "Main Goals",
                    content: "Detailed goal description",
                  },
                ],
              },
              {
                blocks: [
                  { type: "heading_3", content: "Key Metrics" },
                  { type: "table", headers: ["Metric", "Target", "Current"] },
                ],
              },
            ],
          },
        ],
      },
    };
  }
}

With Notion MCP, ByteBuddy can provide powerful knowledge management and collaboration features, enabling teams to organize and manage information more efficiently.
