How to Connect Notion to Claude Using the MCP Connector

Wire your Notion workspace into Claude with the official Model Context Protocol connector so the model can read and search your pages.

8 minBeginner

Claude can read, search and summarize your Notion pages once you connect them through MCP, the Model Context Protocol. This is the cleanest way to let an AI work with your notes without copy and paste. In this guide you will turn on the Notion connector inside Claude and run your first query against a real page.

A Notion workspace with at least one page or database
A Claude account (Pro, Team, or a Claude.ai login)
Admin or member access to install a Notion connection
About 10 minutes

Step 1: Open the connectors settings in Claude

In Claude.ai click your profile, open Settings, then choose Connectors. This is the panel where Claude lists every external tool it can reach. You should see a row for Notion with an Add or Connect button next to it.

The Connectors panel lists available MCP integrations.

Step 2: Authorize the Notion connection

Click Connect next to Notion. A Notion window opens asking which pages Claude may access. Pick a specific page or a whole workspace section, then approve. Granting the narrowest access that still covers your work is the safest default.

----------------------------------

( ) Entire workspace

(x) Select pages

[x] Product Roadmap

[x] Meeting Notes

[ ] Personal Journal

[ Allow access ]

Choose exactly which pages the connector can read.

Step 3: Confirm the connector is active

Back in Claude the Notion row now shows Connected. Start a new chat and look for the tools or attachment menu. Notion should appear as a source you can search.

Step 4: Run your first Notion query

Type a request that names what you want. Claude will call the connector, fetch the matching page and answer from it. If nothing comes back, the page was probably not included in the access step.

Search my Notion for the Product Roadmap page and list the Q3 goals.

Agent

I found Product Roadmap. The Q3 goals are: ship billing v2, cut onboarding to under 5 minutes, and launch the mobile beta.

Claude pulls the page through the connector and summarizes it.

Re-share after you add pages

The connector only sees pages you granted at connect time. When you create a new page you want Claude to read, return to the connector settings and update the shared selection.

Result: Claude can now search and summarize the Notion pages you shared. Ask it to draft a status update, extract action items, or compare two pages, and it will read straight from your workspace.
