Notion MCP
The only way to read and write Notion from Claude.
Official Notion MCP server (makenotion) — search, retrieve pages, query data sources, create/update pages, manage databases, add comments, and read/write page content as Markdown. This local server authenticates with a Notion internal-integration token; Notion's hosted remote MCP (mcp.notion.com) offers OAuth instead. Version 2.0 migrated to Notion API 2025-09-03 with data sources as the primary database abstraction (22 tools).
- Search your entire Notion workspace from inside a conversation
- Create new project pages in Notion without opening the app
- Update your team's Notion database records by just describing changes
The only way to read and write Notion from Claude. Most useful for teams using Notion as their documentation hub — automates page creation, database queries, and content updates.
Teams using Notion for documentation, project tracking, or knowledge management. Works across Claude Code, Cowork, and Chat.

2026-05-10: Solid for automating Notion read/writes from Claude — querying databases, drafting pages, and updating project trackers without leaving the chat. OAuth setup is straightforward if you've done Notion integrations before, but complex relational schemas often require chaining multiple queries, so don't expect single-shot results on anything with nested linked databases. High-volume workflows will hit API rate limits fast; batch or throttle accordingly. Production adoption is still thin relative to the star count, so treat this as a capable but early-stage integration rather than a hardened pipeline component.
2026-04-02: LIMITATION: OAuth only — bearer token auth not supported, blocking headless/CI use. No bulk operations. Full workspace read/write access requires careful API key scoping.
2026-03-29: SECURITY FINDING (JJ Englert, Mar 2026): Cowork connectors are scoped at the Anthropic account level, NOT the workspace level. A connector added in one Cowork workspace is accessible in ALL workspaces under the same Anthropic account. This means: (1) connectors with sensitive access (email, calendar, CRM) bleed across all projects/workspaces; (2) multi-tenant setups sharing an Anthropic account are NOT isolated at the connector level; (3) evaluate connector blast radius across the full account, not just the workspace being configured.

Things to check
- Notion now prioritizes its hosted remote MCP (mcp.notion.com, OAuth) and says it may sunset this local server repo; issues and PRs here are not actively monitored. Requires a Notion internal integration token (NOTION_TOKEN) — consider a read-only integration for safety. v2.0 removed the old database tools in favor of data-source tools (database_id -> data_source_id). Notion API rate limits apply, so batch high-volume automated updates.
