database-query is an agent skill that queries Notion databases via MCP and returns readable filtered table results.
About
The database-query skill uses the Notion MCP server to query databases on a user's behalf and present results in a readable decision-oriented format. The workflow interprets requests to extract the target database by name or ID plus optional filters and sorts such as status Active, owner Alice, or due date this week. When multiple databases match a name, the agent asks the user to choose before querying. Queries apply requested filters, default to twenty to fifty rows unless the user asks for more, and return compact table-like output with key properties like Name, Status, Owner, and Due plus short summaries when rich text content exists. The skill explicitly avoids dumping raw JSON, focusing on readability and actionability. Empty results are reported clearly with suggested alternative filters. Triggers include asking to query, list, or filter rows from a named Notion database. Use whenever Cursor users need structured Notion database lookups through the plugin MCP integration without manual API formatting.

Query Notion Database
Use the Notion MCP server to query a database on the user's behalf.
Workflow
1. Interpret the request to extract:
- Target database (by name or ID)
- Optional filter(s) or sort(s) the user describes.
2. If multiple databases match the name, ask the user to choose the correct one. 3. Perform a query that:
- Applies the requested filters (e.g. status = Active, owner = Alice, due date this week).
- Limits to a reasonable number of rows (e.g. 20-50) unless the user explicitly asks for more.
4. Present the results in a compact table-like format with:
- Key properties (e.g. Name, Status, Owner, Due).
- A short summary if the database has rich text content.
5. If no rows match, say so clearly and suggest alternative filters.
Important
Avoid dumping raw JSON. Focus on readability and decision-making value for the user.
