What it is
This is not an Anthropic-built directory connector: Notion operates the remote MCP server and Claude connects to it as a connector. Because the server is vendor-operated, review the tools it exposes and keep write actions approval-gated.

Availability and requirements
Notion lists Claude as a supported MCP client. Claude connector eligibility still depends on plan and, for Team/Enterprise, organization enablement.
Account requirements
- A Notion account with access to the target workspace
- A Claude account eligible to add connectors
How to connect
Setup path Remote MCP connector (Notion-operated)
1. Open Claude connectors
Go to Claude settings and add the Notion connector.
2. Authenticate with Notion
Sign in to Notion and authorise the connection.
3. Choose access
Grant only the Notion pages and databases the workflow needs.
4. Review the tools
Check which read and write tools the MCP server exposes.
5. Test
Ask Claude to find a page you can already open in Notion.
Permissions, privacy, and admin controls
Claude Team and Enterprise organization owners may need to allow the connector. Notion workspace administrators control which content the connected account can reach.
- Write access is real: keep it approval-gated until it has been tested on low-risk content.
- Treat Notion page content as untrusted input; it can carry prompt-injection instructions.
- Scope the authorised Notion access to the pages the workflow needs.
Platform context
- Claude web connectors are generally available across Claude surfaces, but individual connector requirements differ. Claude inherits the connected user’s permissions from the source service. Team and Enterprise organization owners may need to enable a connector before members authenticate it.
Documented limitations
- Access never exceeds the connected user’s Notion permissions.
- The server is operated by Notion, so its available tools can change without a Claude release.
- Deletion behavior is not documented and should not be assumed.
Best use cases
- Searching internal documentation held in Notion
- Drafting or updating a Notion page from a Claude conversation
- Pulling database records into a Claude analysis
Example prompts
- “Find the onboarding checklist in Notion and summarize it.”
- “Add these meeting notes to the team Notion page.”
- “What is in the roadmap database for this quarter?”
Troubleshooting
Notion content is missing
Confirm the authorised Notion account can open the page and that the relevant pages were shared during authorisation.
The connector cannot be added
Check Claude plan eligibility and, for Team or Enterprise, whether an organization owner has allowed the connector.
