## Description

Search Notion for pages and databases (data sources) by title. **Use this first to resolve a page or database name into an ID** that the other Notion tools require (e.g. **Query Data Source**, **Retrieve Database Schema**, **Get Page**, **Create Page**). Leave `query` blank to list everything the integration can access. Set `filter` to `data_source` to find databases or `page` to find pages — on the current Notion API a database is returned as a `data_source` object, and its `id` is the **data source ID** you pass to the database tools. [See the documentation](https://developers.notion.com/reference/post-search)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | `string` | No | Text to match against page and data source titles. Leave blank to return all accessible objects. |
| `filter` | `string` | No | Restrict results to page or data_source (database). Omit to return both. |
| `pageSize` | `integer` | No | The number of items from the full list desired in the response (max 100) |
| `startCursor` | `string` | No | Pagination cursor from a previous response's next_cursor. Omit for the first page. |

  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(

  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
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:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "notion-search",
  arguments: {
    query: "Query",
    filter: "Object Type",
  },
})
```
