Notion Integration Setup
Set up Notion MCP so I can search and read your Notion docs.
Time estimate: 1-2 minutes
What You'll Get
Once set up, you can ask me:
- •"Search my Notion for the API docs"
- •"What does our architecture doc say about auth?"
- •"Find the onboarding checklist in Notion"
Ask: "Do you use Notion? Want to set up the integration?"
Step 1: Add Notion MCP
Say: "Notion's MCP uses browser OAuth - no API keys or integration setup needed!"
claude mcp add --transport http notion https://mcp.notion.com/mcp --scope user
Step 2: Verify
claude mcp list
Ask: "Do you see Notion in the list? It might show 'Needs authentication'."
Step 3: Authenticate
Say: "Now let's authenticate. Type /mcp in Claude Code."
Say: "Select Notion and complete the browser login."
Say: "You'll be asked which pages to grant access to. Select the ones you want me to be able to read."
Ask: "Did the authentication complete?"
Step 4: Test It
Say: "Let's test! Ask me to search your Notion:"
Example: "Search my Notion for [something you know exists]"
Ask: "Did I find results from your Notion?"
Success!
Say: "You're all set! Now you can ask me things like:"
- •"Search Notion for project roadmap"
- •"What's in my Notion page about X?"
- •"Find the meeting notes from last week"
- •"Summarize the PRD in Notion"
Troubleshooting
I can't find your pages?
OAuth only grants access to pages you explicitly approved. To add more:
claude mcp remove notion claude mcp add --transport http notion https://mcp.notion.com/mcp --scope user
Then authenticate again and select additional pages.
MCP not showing Notion?
claude mcp list
If not there:
claude mcp add --transport http notion https://mcp.notion.com/mcp --scope user
Authentication keeps failing?
Try a fresh start:
claude mcp remove notion claude mcp add --transport http notion https://mcp.notion.com/mcp --scope user
Then restart Claude Code and try /mcp again.
