Notion ACTION
Get Current User
Retrieve the Notion identity tied to the current OAuth token, returning the full
users.retrieve payload for me (person or bot). Includes the user ID, name, avatar URL, type (person vs bot), and workspace ownership metadata—useful for confirming which workspace is connected, adapting downstream queries, or giving an LLM the context it needs about who is operating inside Notion.

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Notion account once, then configure and run Get Current User from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "notion-get-current-user",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
notion: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
