Does Notion have an MCP server?

Yes. Notion ships an official MCP server that exposes your Notion workspace to Claude and other MCP clients. You install it, authorise a Notion integration, and grant access to the pages you want the assistant to see.

The MCP server itself is free. You still need a Notion account, and the free Notion tier limits per-block content and API rate limits. Heavy AI usage can hit those limits.

How do I use Notion MCP with Claude?

Follow Notion's install instructions to run the MCP server, add it to claude_desktop_config.json (or `claude mcp add` for Claude Code), and complete the OAuth flow. From that point Claude can read and write to the pages you granted access to.

Comparison

Notion MCP vs. Muninn

When you want your notes in the MCP world, honest tradeoffs

Notion MCP is the official server Notion ships to expose your workspace to Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP clients. It's the right choice when your notes already live in Notion and you don't want to move them. But Notion is a full database product; using it as AI memory means you pay for surface you don't need, and shape your data around blocks the AI has to translate back to text.

Muninn is the opposite trade: it's plain markdown notes with folders, built specifically to be an MCP endpoint for AI assistants. No blocks, no databases, no per-page permissions to manage — just a fast, portable notes store.

Side-by-side

	Notion MCP	Muninn
Setup	Notion account + integration + OAuth	Sign in, copy MCP URL
Data model	Blocks, databases, properties	Markdown files in folders
Retrieval latency	Multiple round-trips per read	Single call, plain text
Portability	Export to markdown (lossy)	Already markdown
Best for	"My whole workspace is in Notion"	"I want a dedicated AI memory"

When Notion MCP wins

Your team already runs on Notion; the notes are there.
You need databases, relations, and views — not just notes.
You want assistants to touch existing pages, not a new store.

When Muninn wins

You want AI memory that's separate from your work docs.
You don't already pay for Notion and don't want to.
You care about read speed and plain-text portability.
You're privacy-focused and want a minimal surface.

Can you use both?

Yes. MCP clients happily connect to more than one server. Many people keep company docs in Notion and their personal AI memory in Muninn, letting Claude pull from whichever fits the question.
