notion-agent

Like gh for GitHub, but for Notion. 47 commands. One binary.

A full-featured command-line interface for Notion. Manage pages, databases, blocks, comments, users, and files — all from your terminal. Built for developers and AI agents who need programmatic access without the browser.

Quick Start

# Authenticate
notion-agent auth login
# Or pipe token directly
echo "ntn_xxxxx" | notion-agent auth login --with-token

# Search your workspace
notion-agent search "meeting notes"

# Query a database with filters
notion-agent db query <db-id> --filter 'Status=Done' --sort 'Date:desc'

# Create a page in a database
notion-agent page create <db-id> --db "Name=Weekly Review" "Status=Todo"

# Apply a template to a new page
notion-agent page apply-template <page-id> <template-page-id>

# Read page content as Markdown
notion-agent block list <page-id> --depth 3 --md

# Append blocks from a Markdown file
notion-agent block append <page-id> --file notes.md

# Create a table
notion-agent block table <page-id> "Name,Status,Date" "Task 1,Done,2026-03-10"

# Raw API escape hatch
notion-agent api GET /v1/users/me

Commands

47 subcommands covering 100% of the Notion API.

Features

Multi-Profile Support

Manage multiple Notion workspaces with named profiles:

# Login with a named profile
notion-agent auth login --profile work
notion-agent auth login --profile personal

# Switch active profile
notion-agent auth switch work

# Use a profile for a single command
notion-agent search "project" --profile work

# Or set via environment variable
export NOTION_PROFILE=work

Priority: NOTION_TOKEN env > --profile flag > NOTION_PROFILE env > current profile in config.

Human-Friendly Filters

No JSON needed for 90% of queries:

notion-agent db query <id> --filter 'Status=Done' --filter 'Priority=High' --sort 'Date:desc'

For complex queries (OR, nesting), use the JSON escape hatch:

notion-agent db query <id> --filter-json '{"or":[{"property":"Status","status":{"equals":"Done"}},{"property":"Status","status":{"equals":"Cancelled"}}]}'

Schema-Aware Properties

Property types are auto-detected from the database schema:

notion-agent page create <db-id> --db "Name=Sprint Review" "Date=2026-03-01" "Points=8" "Done=true"

Template Support

Copy the content structure from any page to another — useful for applying task templates, meeting note formats, etc.:

# Create a task and apply a template
notion-agent db add <db-id> "Name=New Task" "Status=Backlog"
notion-agent page apply-template <new-page-id> <template-page-id>

Recursively copies all blocks including nested children (tables, toggle content, etc.).

Native Tables

Create and extend tables directly:

# Create a table (first arg = headers, rest = rows)
notion-agent block table <page-id> "Name,Status,Due" "Task 1,Done,2026-03-10" "Task 2,Open,2026-03-15"

# Add rows to an existing table
notion-agent block table-add <table-block-id> "Task 3,In Progress,2026-03-20"

Smart Output

• Terminal: Colored tables, formatted text
• Pipe/Script: Clean JSON for jq, scripts, and AI agents

# Pretty table in terminal
notion-agent db query <id>

# JSON when piped
notion-agent db query <id> | jq '.results[].properties.Name'

Markdown I/O

# Read blocks as Markdown
notion-agent block list <page-id> --md --depth 3

# Write Markdown to Notion
notion-agent block append <page-id> --file document.md

Supports headings, bullets, numbered lists, todos, quotes, code blocks, tables, and dividers.

Page Editing

Open a page in your text editor, edit as Markdown, save to sync back:

notion-agent page edit <page-id>
notion-agent page edit <page-id> --editor code

Database Export

notion-agent db export <db-id> --format csv > tasks.csv
notion-agent db export <db-id> --format json > tasks.json
notion-agent db export <db-id> --format md > tasks.md

Recursive Block Reading

notion-agent block list <page-id> --depth 5 --all

URL or ID — Your Choice

# Both work
notion-agent page view abc123def
notion-agent page view https://notion.so/My-Page-abc123def456

Actionable Error Messages

object_not_found: Could not find page with ID abc123
  -> Check the ID is correct and the page/database is shared with your integration

For AI Agents

This CLI is designed to be agent-friendly:

• JSON output when piped — no parsing needed
• Schema-aware — agents don't need to know property types
• URL resolution — paste Notion URLs directly
• Template support — apply consistent page structures automatically
• Multi-profile — agents can target specific workspaces via --profile or NOTION_PROFILE
• Single binary — no runtime dependencies
• Exit codes — 0 for success, non-zero for errors

Configuration

# Interactive login
notion-agent auth login

# Pipe token (non-interactive, CI-friendly)
echo "ntn_xxxxx" | notion-agent auth login --with-token

# Or use environment variable (no config needed)
export NOTION_TOKEN=ntn_xxxxx

# Config stored in ~/.config/notion-agent-cli/config.json (mode 0600)
# Legacy path ~/.config/notion-cli/ is auto-detected

# Check authentication
notion-agent auth status
notion-agent auth doctor

# Manage profiles
notion-agent auth login --profile work
notion-agent auth switch work
notion-agent auth logout work
