New identity fields in OAuth token responses

By Steven Van ·

User objects now include an email_verified boolean next to person.email, indicating whether Notion has verified that email address.

Notion's API now reports whether a user's email address has been verified, and OAuth clients built on Notion MCP can identify who authorized a connection without a follow-up call.

  • User objects gain an email_verified boolean next to person.email. It shows up anywhere a person's email appears, including the owner field in OAuth token responses and in List all users results.
  • Notion MCP token responses now include top-level user_id, workspace_id, and email_domain fields on successful authorization-code exchanges, so MCP clients can tie a connection to a Notion user and workspace without an extra request. See Integrating your own MCP client.

Both fields are backwards-compatible additions that appear on every API version. Notion recommends parsing responses leniently and ignoring fields a client doesn't recognize.
