 > We’ve introduced **Notion MCP**, a remote MCP server with the following improvements:
-> - Easy installation via standard OAuth. No need to fiddle with JSON or API token anymore.
-> - Powerful tools tailored to AI agents. These tools are designed with optimized token consumption in mind.

+> - Easy installation via standard OAuth. No need to fiddle with JSON or API tokens anymore.
+> - Powerful tools tailored to AI agents, including editing pages in Markdown. These tools are designed with optimized token consumption in mind.
+>
+> Learn more and get started at [Notion MCP documentation](https://developers.notion.com/docs/mcp).
+>
+> We are prioritizing, and only providing active support for, **Notion MCP** (remote). As a result:
+>
+> - We may sunset this local MCP server repository in the future.
+> - Issues and pull requests here are not actively monitored.
+> - Please do not file issues relating to the remote MCP here; instead, contact Notion support.

+
+## ⚠️ Version 2.0.0 breaking changes
+
+**Version 2.0.0 migrates to the Notion API 2025-09-03** which introduces data sources as the primary abstraction for databases.
+
+### What changed
+
+**Removed tools (4):**
+
+- `post-database-query` - replaced by `query-data-source`
+- `retrieve-a-database` - replaced by `retrieve-a-data-source`
+- `update-a-database` - replaced by `update-a-data-source`
+- `create-a-database` - replaced by `create-a-data-source`
+
+**New tools (6):**
+
+- `query-data-source` - Query a data source (database) with filters and sorts
+- `retrieve-a-data-source` - Get metadata and schema for a data source
+- `update-a-data-source` - Update data source properties
+- `create-a-data-source` - Create a new data source
+- `list-data-source-templates` - List available templates in a data source
+- `move-page` - Move a page to a different parent location
+
+**Parameter changes:**
+
+- All database operations now use `data_source_id` instead of `database_id`
+- Search filter values changed from `["page", "database"]` to `["page", "data_source"]`
+- Page creation now supports both `page_id` and `database_id` parents (for data sources)
+
+### Do I need to migrate?
+
+**No code changes required.** MCP tools are discovered automatically when the server starts. When you upgrade to v2.0.0, AI clients will automatically see the new tool names and parameters. The old database tools are no longer available.
+
+If you have hardcoded tool names or prompts that reference the old database tools, update them to use the new data source tools:
+
+| Old Tool (v1.x) | New Tool (v2.0) | Parameter Change |
+| -------------- | --------------- | ---------------- |
+| `post-database-query` | `query-data-source` | `database_id` → `data_source_id` |
+| `retrieve-a-database` | `retrieve-a-data-source` | `database_id` → `data_source_id` |
+| `update-a-database` | `update-a-data-source` | `database_id` → `data_source_id` |
+| `create-a-database` | `create-a-data-source` | No change (uses `parent.page_id`) |
+
+**Total tools now: 21** (was 19 in v1.x)

 For example, you can create a read-only integration token by giving only "Read content" access from the "Configuration" tab:
