26
+ ## ⚠️ Version 2.0.0 breaking changes
27
+
28
+ **Version 2.0.0 migrates to the Notion API 2025-09-03** which introduces data sources as the primary abstraction for databases.
29
+
30
+ ### What changed
31
+
32
+ **Removed tools (4):**
33
+
34
+ - `post-database-query` - replaced by `query-data-source`
35
+ - `retrieve-a-database` - replaced by `retrieve-a-data-source`
36
+ - `update-a-database` - replaced by `update-a-data-source`
37
+ - `create-a-database` - replaced by `create-a-data-source`
38
+
39
+ **New tools (6):**
40
+
41
+ - `query-data-source` - Query a data source (database) with filters and sorts
42
+ - `retrieve-a-data-source` - Get metadata and schema for a data source
43
+ - `update-a-data-source` - Update data source properties
44
+ - `create-a-data-source` - Create a new data source
45
+ - `list-data-source-templates` - List available templates in a data source
46
+ - `move-page` - Move a page to a different parent location
47
+
48
+ **Parameter changes:**
49
+
50
+ - All database operations now use `data_source_id` instead of `database_id`
51
+ - Search filter values changed from `["page", "database"]` to `["page", "data_source"]`
52
+ - Page creation now supports both `page_id` and `database_id` parents (for data sources)
53
+
54
+ ### Do I need to migrate?
55
+
56
+ **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.
57
+
58
+ If you have hardcoded tool names or prompts that reference the old database tools, update them to use the new data source tools:
59
+
60
+ | Old Tool (v1.x) | New Tool (v2.0) | Parameter Change |
61
+ | -------------- | --------------- | ---------------- |
62
+ | `post-database-query` | `query-data-source` | `database_id` → `data_source_id` |
63
+ | `retrieve-a-database` | `retrieve-a-data-source` | `database_id` → `data_source_id` |
64
+ | `update-a-database` | `update-a-data-source` | `database_id` → `data_source_id` |
65
+ | `create-a-database` | `create-a-data-source` | No change (uses `parent.page_id`) |
66
+
67
+ **Total tools now: 21** (was 19 in v1.x)
