Connecting to Notion MCP

This guide walks you through connecting your AI tool to Notion using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

You can connect through Notion’s in-app directory of featured AI tools or by finding Notion MCP in your AI tool’s directory.

Once connected, your tool can request live context from a user’s Notion workspace based on their access and permissions. This includes pages, databases, and comments.

Connect through your AI Tool

To connect, search for "Notion MCP" in your tool's MCP directory or use these connection methods:

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If you're experiencing issues connecting your AI tool to Notion MCP, here are some common solutions:

1. Check MCP Client Support
   First, verify that your AI tool supports MCP clients and can connect to MCP servers. Not all AI tools have this capability built-in yet.
2. Verify Remote Server Support
   Some AI tools have MCP clients but don't support remote connections. If this is the case, you may still be able to connect to Notion using our open-source MCP server.
3. Request MCP Support
   If your AI tool doesn't support MCP at all, we recommend reaching out to the tool's developers to request MCP server connection support. This will help expand the ecosystem of MCP-compatible tools.
