  "pick": false,
  "what": "Notion's public API exposes databases and pages as JSON, letting a team draft in Notion and publish to a React front end. The free plan is unlimited for a solo user but applies a block limit once a workspace has multiple members. Notion runs an official hosted MCP server.",
  "why": "Editors already live here, so adoption cost is near zero and the writing surface is genuinely pleasant. Works well for a small publication running its editorial calendar in the same workspace.",
  "warn": "The API is rate-limited around 3 requests/second and paginates blocks, so builds slow badly past a few hundred posts — cache aggressively. Rich-text to HTML conversion is your problem, and there is no preview or publish workflow.",
  "install": "npm i @notionhq/client",
