What is the Notion MCP?

The Notion MCP gives Claude Code access to your Notion workspace through the official Notion API. Claude can search pages, read database entries, create new content, and update existing pages — bridging the gap between your codebase and your team's documentation hub.

Installation

mcpizy install notion

Create a Notion integration at notion.so/my-integrations, copy the Internal Integration Token, and share the relevant pages or databases with your integration. Paste the token during MCPizy setup.

Key Capabilities

  • Search across your workspace — find pages, databases, and blocks by keyword.
  • Read and write pages — fetch full page content or create new documentation pages.
  • Query databases — filter, sort, and paginate Notion database entries like a spreadsheet API.
  • Create and update database rows — add sprint tickets, meeting notes, or release entries programmatically.
  • Add comments — post inline comments on pages for review workflows.

Example Usage

After completing a feature, auto-generate a changelog entry in your Notion release database:

// Claude queries the database for the current sprint
// then creates a new entry:
// Title: "Add dark mode support"
// Status: Done
// PR: #482
// Release: v3.1.0

Tips and Best Practices

  • Share only the specific pages and databases your integration needs — Notion's permission model is page-level.
  • Use database templates in Notion and have Claude populate them, rather than building pages from scratch.
  • Combine with the GitHub MCP to pull PR data into Notion release notes automatically.
  • Use the search tool before creating pages to avoid duplicates.
