Usage: notion-mcp-server [options]

Options:
  --transport <type>       Transport type: 'stdio' or 'http' (default: stdio)
  --port <number>          Port for HTTP server when using Streamable HTTP transport (default: 3000)
  --host <host>            Host for HTTP server when using Streamable HTTP transport (default: 127.0.0.1)
  --auth-token <token>     Bearer token for HTTP transport authentication (auto-generated if not provided)
  --unsafe-disable-auth    Disable bearer token authentication for HTTP transport. Unsafe; use only on isolated networks.
  --disable-auth           Deprecated alias for --unsafe-disable-auth
  --help, -h               Show this help message

Environment Variables:
  NOTION_TOKEN             Notion integration token (recommended)
  OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS      JSON string with Notion API headers (alternative)
  AUTH_TOKEN               Bearer token for HTTP transport authentication (alternative to --auth-token)

Examples:
  notion-mcp-server                                      # Use stdio transport (default)
  notion-mcp-server --transport stdio                    # Use stdio transport explicitly
  notion-mcp-server --transport http                     # Use Streamable HTTP transport on 127.0.0.1:3000
  notion-mcp-server --transport http --port 8080         # Use Streamable HTTP transport on port 8080
  notion-mcp-server --transport http --host 0.0.0.0      # Bind HTTP transport to all interfaces
  notion-mcp-server --transport http --auth-token mytoken # Use Streamable HTTP transport with custom auth token
  notion-mcp-server --transport http --unsafe-disable-auth # Use Streamable HTTP transport without authentication
  AUTH_TOKEN=mytoken notion-mcp-server --transport http  # Use Streamable HTTP transport with auth token from env var
