notion-markdown-conversion_skill

Overview

This skill converts Notion databases and pages to structured, AI-readable Markdown using Notion MCP. It produces clear database schemas, page-level metadata, tables of pages, and Notion-flavored Markdown content optimized for documentation, export, and visualization workflows.

How this skill works

The skill uses MCP actions to search and fetch Notion content (semantic search and targeted fetch). It parses database schema and page blocks, normalizes property types, and emits Markdown with metadata, tables, and content blocks while preserving Notion-flavored elements. Optional MCP write tools can create or update pages when needed.

When to use it

• Export Notion databases for documentation or publishing
• Generate Markdown summaries for visualization or reporting
• Create a portable archive of page content and metadata
• Prepare Notion content for static site generators or knowledge bases
• Search Notion and convert matching results to Markdown

Best practices

• Fetch database schema first, then batch page retrieval to avoid partial outputs
• Keep original Notion URLs in output to preserve traceability
• Convert null or empty properties to an explicit placeholder like [unassigned]
• Preserve Notion-flavored Markdown for blocks such as toggles, code, and tables
• Cache fetched data locally and use parallel fetches for large databases

Example use cases

• Export a project database as a Markdown file with schema and a table of all tasks
• Search Notion for meeting notes, fetch matches, and convert each note to Markdown with metadata
• Fetch a single page by URL or ID and output a Notion-flavored Markdown document including creation and update timestamps
• Produce a Markdown report listing databases and their descriptions for a content audit
• Convert database rollups and relations into readable summaries for stakeholder review
