Connect Claude to Notion

Create pages, query databases, and manage your workspace with AI assistance.

Official Integration

The Notion MCP integration lets Claude interact with your Notion workspace - creating pages, updating databases, and searching your knowledge base. Turn Claude into a Notion power user that can organize information, track tasks, and maintain your documentation automatically.

What You Can Do

Search Your Workspace

Find pages, databases, and content across your entire Notion workspace instantly.

Create Pages

Generate new pages with structured content, templates, and formatting.

Query Databases

Search and filter your Notion databases. Get answers from your structured data.

Update Content

Modify existing pages, add to databases, and keep information current.

Example Commands

Basic

  • "What pages do I have in my Notion workspace?"
  • "Find all pages mentioning 'project roadmap'"
  • "Show me my task database"

Intermediate

  • "Create a new meeting notes page for today's standup"
  • "Add a new entry to my 'Content Ideas' database with title 'MCP Tutorial Series'"
  • "Find all tasks in my database that are marked 'In Progress'"

Advanced

  • "Summarize all my meeting notes from this week and create a weekly digest page"
  • "Query my CRM database for clients we haven't contacted in 30 days and create a follow-up list"
  • "Take the action items from today's Slack #standup and add them to my Tasks database with appropriate owners"

Setup Guide

Prerequisites

Claude Desktop Notion Token ~10 Minutes

  3. Install the Notion MCP server
  4. Add configuration to Claude Desktop
  5. Test with a simple search

Add this to your configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-server-notion"],

Security & Privacy

Claude only accesses pages you've shared with the integration. Workspace content not shared with the integration remains private. You control access at the page and database level and can revoke access anytime from Notion settings.

Tip: Start by sharing only non-sensitive pages. You can always expand access later as you get comfortable with the integration.

FAQ

Can Claude access my entire Notion workspace?

No. Claude can only access pages and databases you explicitly share with your Notion integration. Unshared content is completely invisible.

Can Claude create new databases?

Yes, Claude can create pages and databases within shared parent pages. The specific capabilities depend on the MCP server implementation.

Does this work with Notion AI?

These are separate features. MCP connects Claude to Notion's content, while Notion AI is Notion's built-in AI. They can complement each other.

Can team members see changes Claude makes?

Yes, changes Claude makes appear like any other edit in Notion - visible in page history and to anyone with access.
