Notion MCP is a service that exposes Notion pages, databases, search, and tasks to integrations. Use it to give agents structured, authenticated access to your Notion workspace.

37 Tools

Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Notion account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to summarize recent meeting notes in Notion, create a Notion project page from tasks, find overdue tasks across Notion databases, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

3. Connect your Notion account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Notion or give it any Notion-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Summarize recent meeting notes in Notion"
  • "Create a Notion project page from tasks"
  • "Find overdue tasks across Notion databases"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Notion account is ready to use.

What is the Notion Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The Notion MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Notion account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Notion operations on your behalf.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Notion?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Notion conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to Notion again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Notion connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Notion.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect Notion.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Notion authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Notion account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Notion connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh Notion authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the Notion sign-in.

4. Why do Notion actions fail after they worked before?

The Notion connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the Notion connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the Notion account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Notion.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Notion itself.

5. How do I switch to a different Notion account?

Claude can manage the Notion connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Notion account.
  • Ask Claude to connect Notion again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for Notion.
  • Sign in with the other Notion account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Notion task.

6. Why is my Notion connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Notion connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Notion tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect Notion.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Notion MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Notion tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Notion and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Notion tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Notion scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Notion data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
