GitHub

Searches across your Notion workspace, synthesizes findings from multiple pages, and creates comprehensive research documentation saved as new Notion pages. Turns scattered information into structured reports with proper citations and actionable insights.

Research & Documentation

Enables comprehensive research workflows: search for information across your Notion workspace, fetch and analyze relevant pages, synthesize findings, and create well-structured documentation.

Quick Start

When asked to research and document a topic:

Search for relevant content: Use Notion:notion-search to find pages
Fetch detailed information: Use Notion:notion-fetch to read full page content
Synthesize findings: Analyze and combine information from multiple sources
Create structured output: Use Notion:notion-create-pages to write documentation

Research Workflow

Step 1: Search for relevant information

Use Notion:notion-search with the research topic
Filter by teamspace if scope is known
Review search results to identify most relevant pages

Step 2: Fetch page content

Use Notion:notion-fetch for each relevant page URL
Collect content from all relevant sources
Note key findings, quotes, and data points

Step 3: Synthesize findings

Analyze the collected information:

Identify key themes and patterns
Connect related concepts across sources
Note gaps or conflicting information
Organize findings logically

Step 4: Create structured documentation

Use the appropriate documentation template (see reference/format-selection-guide.md) to structure output:

Clear title and executive summary
Well-organized sections with headings
Citations linking back to source pages
Actionable conclusions or next steps

Output Formats

Choose the appropriate format based on request:

Research Summary: See reference/research-summary-format.md Comprehensive Report: See reference/comprehensive-report-format.md Quick Brief: See reference/quick-brief-format.md

Best Practices

Cast a wide net first: Start with broad searches, then narrow down
Cite sources: Always link back to source pages using mentions
Verify recency: Check page last-edited dates for current information
Cross-reference: Validate findings across multiple sources
Structure clearly: Use headings, bullets, and formatting for readability

Page Placement

By default, create research documents as standalone pages. If the user specifies:

A parent page → use page_id parent
A database → fetch the database first, then use appropriate data_source_id
A teamspace → create in that context

Advanced Features

Search filtering: See reference/advanced-search.md Citation styles: See reference/citations.md

Common Issues

"No results found": Try broader search terms or different teamspaces "Too many results": Add filters or search within specific pages "Can't access page": User may lack permissions, ask them to verify access
