notion-fetch no longer signs file URLs by default
By Steven Van ·
A new MCP tool retrieves download URLs for up to 25 file references, while database property files still include signed URLs inline.
Files in page blocks now appear as stable notion-file-block:// references in page markdown returned by Notion MCP’s notion-fetch tool. Files in database properties still include signed URLs inline.
Getting download URLs
The new notion-get-file-download-urls tool accepts up to 25 references to retrieve download URLs. Alternatively, pass include_file_urls: true to notion-fetch to include file URLs when fetching the page.
Editing and copying markdown
Keep the stable references when editing or copying page markdown, rather than replacing them with download URLs. The supported tools documentation covers the tools.
