Hanzo AI for Notion

Brings Hanzo AI into a startup or ops team's Notion pages, databases, and wikis. Pick a page and Hanzo will:

• Summarize a page — read the page's blocks (recursively) and produce a tight bullet summary.
• Draft / expand — generate content that continues the page in its own tone, ready to insert.
• Extract → database — pull structured action items (task / owner / due) out of a page and create one row per item in a Notion database.
• Ask about a page/workspace — freeform Q&A over the page's content.

Every result can be written back to Notion — appended onto the page as a labelled callout (+ paragraphs), or, for extraction, created as database rows. Model calls route through the same api.hanzo.ai/v1 gateway as every other Hanzo surface; Notion access is standard OAuth2 (public integration) + REST API v1.

Notion has no in-app UI-extension surface (no plugins/panels) — the platform is API + OAuth only. So this ships as (a) a Notion public integration + API client, and (b) a small web app that operates on the user's pages and databases. Notion is also the classic case where a Model Context Protocol connector fits: this same capability pairs with Hanzo auto's MCP servers. This package is the direct integration; the MCP path is complementary, not a replacement.

Architecture

Two credentials, kept apart by design — and unlike a token that a browser can hold, the Notion bot token never leaves the server:

• Notion — OAuth2 authorization-code grant. Both the client_secret and the workspace bot token live only in the OAuth + proxy service (server.ts), read from / stored in the environment. The browser SPA holds only an opaque session id; every Notion call is proxied through the service, which attaches the real Bearer + Notion-Version server-side. (Notion public-integration tokens do not expire and there is no refresh flow — so there is nothing time-based to manage.)
• Hanzo — an hk- API key pasted by the user (kept in the browser), or empty for anonymous/limited models. The createAiClient contract — the same headless client surface as @hanzo/ai.

browser SPA (app.ts) ──OAuth redirect──▶ api.notion.com/v1/oauth/authorize
     │  code                                     │
     ├──POST /oauth/callback──▶ service (server.ts, holds client_secret + bot token)
     │                              └──POST api.notion.com/v1/oauth/token (Basic auth)──▶ bot token
     │                              ◀── { session, workspace }        (opaque session id only)
     ├──/notion/* (x-hanzo-session)──▶ service ──Bearer bot token──▶ api.notion.com/v1/{search,pages,blocks,databases}
     └──POST /v1/chat/completions (Bearer hk-)──▶ api.hanzo.ai

The engine is small, pure, and unit-tested:

module	responsibility
config.ts	the two backends; Notion API/version/endpoint URLs; Hanzo gateway base + default Zen model
notion-oauth.ts	authorize URL + token-exchange request shaping (Basic auth, JSON body); token parsing
notion-api.ts	every REST wrapper — URL, headers, body — retrieveBlockChildren, appendChildren, retrievePage, createPage, retrieveDatabase, queryDatabase, search; readListPage + the single paginate cursor loop
blocks.ts	Notion blocks ↔ plain text/markdown, both directions (see mapping below)
client.ts	the createAiClient contract — non-streaming /v1/chat/completions + /v1/models
actions.ts	the four actions + page-context assembly/truncation + action-item parsing + write-back block/property building
app.ts	the DOM glue (thin)
server.ts	the OAuth + Notion-proxy http service (thin), the session store, the proxy allow-list

The four actions

action	reads	asks Hanzo for	writes back
Summarize	page blocks → text	a bullet summary	callout appended to the page
Draft / expand	page blocks → text	new prose continuing the page	callout + paragraphs appended
Extract → database	page blocks → text	a JSON array of { task, owner, due }	one row per item in a chosen database
Ask	page blocks → text	an answer to the user's question	callout appended (optional)

Notion blocks ↔ text mapping

The single source of truth is blocks.ts. Reading a page turns its recursively fetched block tree into markdown-ish text for the model; writing back turns the model's text into Notion block objects.

Read (block → text):

Notion block	text form
heading_1/2/3	# / ## / ### + text
paragraph	inline markdown (bold/italic/code/strike/link)
bulleted_list_item	- item
numbered_list_item	1. item
to_do	- [ ] task / - [x] task (checked state)
toggle	▸ text
quote	> text
callout	> {emoji} text
code	fenced lang … with plain (un-escaped) content
divider	---
child_page / child_database	[page] Title / [database] Title
unknown	flattened rich_text, never throws

rich_text runs are flattened via plain_text (falling back to text.content); nested children are indented by depth so list/toggle structure survives.

Write (text → block): paragraphBlock, calloutBlock (default 🤖 icon), headingBlock, and textToBlocks (one paragraph per non-empty line). Long strings are split at Notion's 2000-char rich_text cap. Property values for database rows: titleProperty, richTextProperty, dateProperty, selectProperty, checkboxProperty.

The write-back flow: the AI text → resultBlocks(action, text) = a labelled heading_2 ("Hanzo AI — Summary/Draft/Answer") + a callout holding the first paragraph + any overflow as paragraphs → appendChildren(pageId, blocks) → PATCH /v1/blocks/{pageId}/children. Extraction: AI JSON → parseActionItems → actionItemProperties(item, fieldMap) → createPage({ parent: { database_id }, properties }) per item.

Notion API endpoints used

All under https://api.notion.com/v1, every request carrying Notion-Version: 2022-06-28:

• GET /blocks/{id}/children — read a page/block's children (paginated: start_cursor + page_size, cap 100; response has_more + next_cursor).
• PATCH /blocks/{id}/children — append blocks (write-back).
• GET /pages/{id} — read a page's title/properties.
• POST /pages — create a page / database row.
• GET /databases/{id} / POST /databases/{id}/query — schema / rows.
• POST /search — discover the pages & databases the integration was granted.
• OAuth: GET /oauth/authorize, POST /oauth/token (HTTP Basic auth with the client id/secret, JSON body — not form-urlencoded).

Create a Notion public integration

1. Go to notion.so/my-integrations → New integration, type Public.
2. Capabilities — this app needs: Read content, Insert content, Update content. (No user-info capability is required; the search endpoint only returns content the user explicitly shares at consent time.)
3. OAuth Domain & URIs — set the Redirect URI to https://notion.hanzo.ai/oauth/callback.
4. Copy the OAuth client ID (public) and OAuth client secret (server-only).

Scopes / consent: Notion has no OAuth scope strings — access is granted per-page/database by the user on the consent screen (they pick exactly which pages the integration can touch). The integration can only ever see and modify what the user shared; search reflects that grant.

OAuth flow (what the code does)

1. SPA → GET /v1/oauth/authorize?client_id&response_type=code&owner=user&redirect_uri&state (CSRF state minted + stored in sessionStorage).
2. User consents, Notion redirects to …/oauth/callback?code&state.
3. SPA POST /oauth/callback { code } → the service exchanges it: POST /v1/oauth/token with Authorization: Basic base64(id:secret) and a JSON { grant_type, code, redirect_uri } body.
4. The service stores the returned bot token under a fresh opaque session id and returns only { session, workspace } to the SPA.
5. Every later Notion call goes SPA → /notion/{subpath} (x-hanzo-session) → service → api.notion.com. Only an allow-list of the exact subpaths this app uses is forwardable (proxyPathAllowed), so a session id can never be turned into a general Notion credential.

Build & test

pnpm --filter @hanzo/notion test        # vitest — 104 pure-logic tests
pnpm --filter @hanzo/notion typecheck   # tsc --noEmit
pnpm --filter @hanzo/notion build       # esbuild → dist/

The build stamps the Notion public client_id and redirect_uri into the SPA (the secret is never bundled):

NOTION_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id> \
NOTION_REDIRECT_URI=https://notion.hanzo.ai/oauth/callback \
HANZO_NOTION_BASE=https://notion.hanzo.ai \
pnpm --filter @hanzo/notion build

Run the service (it reads the secret from the environment):

NOTION_CLIENT_ID=<id> \
NOTION_CLIENT_SECRET=<secret> \
NOTION_REDIRECT_URI=https://notion.hanzo.ai/oauth/callback \
PORT=8788 \
node dist/server.js

Deploy — hanzoai/static + hanzoai/ingress at notion.hanzo.ai

dist/ is two things: static assets (index.html, app.js, styles.css, assets/) and one small Node service (server.js).

• Serve the static assets with the hanzoai/static plugin.
• Run server.js for the two dynamic paths, POST /oauth/callback and the /notion/* proxy, plus GET /health.
• Route both through hanzoai/ingress on the host notion.hanzo.ai (/oauth/* and /notion/* → the service; everything else → static). No nginx, no caddy — ingress + the static plugin only.
• The NOTION_CLIENT_SECRET comes from KMS (never a manifest, never the bundle). Image: ghcr.io/hanzoai/notion:<tag>, --platform linux/amd64, built in CI. The service is stateless except the session store — a single-instance dev uses the in-memory memoryStore; a multi-instance deploy backs SessionStore with hanzoai/kv (Valkey). /health is the k8s liveness/readiness probe.

Model calls always target api.hanzo.ai/v1 — never an /api/ prefix, never a v2.
