Document to Notion Importer

Imports long-form content from Google Docs, emails, or other sources into Notion with proper formatting. Handles the 2000-character limit automatically by chunking content intelligently.

Toolkits Needed

You'll need access to these toolkits in your Arcade MCP Gateway:

GoogleDrive
GoogleDocs

Setup Guide

1

Sign up for Arcade

Create a free Arcade account to get access to MCP Gateway.

Create Arcade Account →
2

Create a new MCP Gateway

Navigate to MCP Gateway page in Arcade, then click Create MCP Gateway.

Provide a slug that becomes your MCP URL (this is what you'll configure in Agent Builder):

Example: If you choose slug my-agent, your MCP URL will be:
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/my-agent
3

Select the specific tools you need

Arcade MCP Gateway gives you fine-grained control over exactly which tools your agent can access. Select these specific tools from the toolkits:

GoogleDrive.SearchFiles
GoogleDrive.DownloadFile
GoogleDocs.SearchDocuments
GoogleDocs.GetDocumentById
GoogleDocs.CreateBlankDocument
GoogleDocs.CreateDocumentFromText
GoogleDocs.GetDocumentAsDocmd
GoogleDocs.EditDocument
Choose your tools in Arcade MCP Gateway

Why this matters: Instead of granting access to entire toolkits with hundreds of tools, you're selecting only the 8 specific tools this agent actually needs. This precision reduces risk and keeps your agent focused.

Create the gateway and copy your MCP URL

Click Create Gateway. Copy the MCP URL — this is all you need to connect to LangSmith!

Example MCP URL:
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/my-agent

No tokens needed! Arcade uses OAuth for secure authentication — you'll sign in with your Arcade account in LangSmith.
