Notion MCP server

Notion × Claude

Use the Notion MCP server
in Claude

Search pages and databases and draft content in your Notion workspace. This guide connects Notion to Claude (claude.ai and the Claude desktop app) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Live-probed · Security-scanned · OAuth sign-in

Setup: Notion in Claude

Claude adds MCP servers via custom connectors in Settings. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Create a free gate gateway and connect Notion to it from the verified directory (one click).
  2. Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors and click 'Add custom connector'.
  3. Name it 'gate' and paste your gateway URL, then approve the authorization.
  4. Ask Claude something Notion can answer — the call runs through your gateway, with your rules applied and logged.

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Notion connection works in Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Notion exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything Claude did with Notion — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Notion passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
