The Notion plugin (notion@claude-plugins-official, v0.1.0) fails to connect with an "Internal Server Error" after multiple attempts to reconnect, re-authenticate, and reinstall. 5. Ran /mcp again — still "Internal Server Error" "Internal Server Error" on every connection attempt. No auth prompt appears — it fails before reaching authentication.

Root Cause

The Notion plugin (notion@claude-plugins-official, v0.1.0) fails to connect with an "Internal Server Error" after multiple attempts to reconnect, re-authenticate, and reinstall.

Description

The Notion plugin (notion@claude-plugins-official, v0.1.0) fails to connect with an "Internal Server Error" after multiple attempts to reconnect, re-authenticate, and reinstall.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Notion plugin was working earlier in the session (tools like notion-search, notion-create-pages, notion-update-page all functioned correctly)
  2. After some time, the Notion MCP server disconnected
  3. Ran /mcp multiple times — Notion server fails to reconnect
  4. Uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin:
    claude plugin uninstall notion@claude-plugins-official --scope user
    claude plugin install notion@claude-plugins-official --scope user
  5. Ran /mcp again — still "Internal Server Error"
  6. The plugin shows as installed and enabled (claude plugin list confirms notion@claude-plugins-official, scope: user, status: enabled)

Environment

  • OS: macOS (Darwin 24.3.0)
  • Plugin: notion@claude-plugins-official v0.1.0
  • Scope: user
  • Other plugins working: Slack, Atlassian, Google Calendar all connect fine in the same session

Expected Behavior

Notion MCP server should reconnect and authenticate successfully after /mcp.

Actual Behavior

"Internal Server Error" on every connection attempt. No auth prompt appears — it fails before reaching authentication.

Additional Context

  • The Notion tools worked correctly earlier in the session for ~30+ API calls (search, create-pages, fetch, update-page)
  • The disconnect happened mid-session without any user action
  • Other MCP plugins (Slack, Atlassian, Google Calendar) remain connected and functional
  • Reinstalling the plugin did not resolve the issue

extent analysis

TL;DR

The Notion plugin's "Internal Server Error" may be resolved by checking the plugin's configuration and authentication settings, as the issue seems to be specific to the Notion plugin and not a general MCP server issue.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Notion API credentials and authentication settings are correct and have not expired or been revoked.
  • Check the Notion plugin's configuration for any specific settings that may be causing the issue, such as API endpoint URLs or authentication tokens.
  • Attempt to connect to the Notion API directly using a tool like curl or a web browser to see if the issue is specific to the MCP server or the Notion plugin.
  • Review the MCP server logs for any error messages related to the Notion plugin to gain more insight into the issue.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not seem to be related to a specific code problem, but rather a configuration or authentication issue.

Notes

The issue may be related to a transient error or a specific configuration issue with the Notion plugin, as other MCP plugins are working correctly. Further investigation into the plugin's configuration and authentication settings is needed to resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Attempt to reset the Notion plugin's configuration and authentication settings to their default values, and then try reconnecting to the Notion API. This may resolve the issue if it is related to a misconfiguration or expired authentication credentials.
