How to connect Notion to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot

Step by step, for each AI app

Notion MCP connector for Claude

  1. 1

    Open Customize, then Connectors.

  2. 2

    Press Add.

  3. 3

    Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  4. 4

    Sign in and approve.

On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds it once. Everyone else turns it on for themselves.

Notion MCP connector for Claude Code

  1. 1

    In a terminal, run claude mcp add with the endpoint.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  2. 2

    Start Claude Code and run /mcp.

  3. 3

    Pick elaichi, then sign in and approve in the browser.

Terminal

$ claude mcp add --transport http elaichi --scope user https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

Use --scope project instead to share it with the repository through .mcp.json.

Notion MCP connector for ChatGPT

  1. 1

    Open Plugins, then press the + button.

  2. 2

    Name it and paste the endpoint into Server URL.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  3. 3

    Leave Authentication on OAuth, then tick the risk acknowledgement.

  4. 4

    Press Create, then sign in and approve.

Works on the web. The plugin directory lives at chatgpt.com/plugins.

Notion MCP connector for Cursor

  1. 1

    Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elaichi": {
      "url": "https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Set up per machine, so repeat it on each computer you work from.

Notion MCP connector for Microsoft Copilot

  1. 1

    In Copilot Studio, open your agent, then Tools, Add a tool, New tool and Model Context Protocol.

  2. 2

    Paste the endpoint into Server URL, choose OAuth 2.0, then Dynamic discovery, and press Create.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  3. 3

    Create a new connection, sign in and approve, then press Add to agent.

  4. 4

    Under Channels, open Teams and Microsoft Copilot and make the agent available in Microsoft Copilot.

Server URL
https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
Authentication
OAuth 2.0
Type
Dynamic discovery

Microsoft Copilot was called Microsoft 365 Copilot. Keep the tool on end-user credentials, so each person signs in as themselves.

Connect Notion to any MCP client

  1. 1

    Add the endpoint as a remote MCP server.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  2. 2

    Sign in and approve.

    "elaichi": {
      "url": "https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The Elaichi Agent already has these tools, with nothing to set up.

What teams do with Notion through Elaichi

Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Notion is logged.

  • Engineering

    Answer wiki questions without opening Notion

    Ask which specs changed this week, or what a design doc concluded, and the answer comes back with the page it came from. Reading is all this needs, so the agent doing it cannot change a thing.

  • Product

    Find the gaps in a roadmap

    Ask which roadmap entries have no owner, or which shipped last month with nothing written up. The Monday morning scan somebody used to do by hand, answered in a sentence.

  • Marketing

    Draft into the right place, every time

    Ask for a meeting note or a campaign brief and it lands in the team's own database. You can fix the destination in advance, so nothing arrives in the wrong corner of the workspace.

  • Support

    Catch up on a thread before a review

    Comments are where decisions actually get made and where nobody reads back. Ask for the argument so far in a paragraph, without granting anything that can write.

  • People Ops

    Give each team its own corner

    One Notion connection, a different set of tools per team. Engineering reaches the engineering wiki, People Ops the handbook, and nobody browses into a corner that was never theirs.

  • Legal

    Keep legal holds in Legal's hands

    Notion's legal hold controls sit in the same list as the content calendar and look like ordinary admin. Keep them available to Legal and unavailable to everybody else.

  • “Summarize comments added to the product spec page this week.”
  • “List Notion pages in the roadmap database missing an owner.”
  • “Create a meeting notes page in the team database.”

For IT and engineering

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Notion

All three can connect Notion to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls. They differ in where access lives and how you pay.

Elaichi compared with Zapier MCP and Composio for Notion, by what to check
What to check Elaichi Zapier MCP Composio
Where the AI connects One address for the whole organization. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp A server per member, created at sign-in. An MCP endpoint per team, or an SDK.
Control over Notion tools Allow or restrict single Notion tools, per role or user. App and action restrictions on the account. Role permissions, down to the action.
Record of calls One audit entry per Notion call. A History tab of tool calls. A log of every tool call.
Single sign-on SAML or OIDC, plus SCIM, on Gold. SAML on Enterprise. SAML and OIDC on Enterprise.
Price Free for one person; $15 per user per month on Gold. 2 tasks per successful call. Billed per tool call.

Longer take: Zapier MCP alternative and when you don't need an MCP gateway.

Notion tools for your AI agents

122 tools are ready to call through Elaichi's MCP endpoint the moment you connect Notion, governed by the same roles, restrictions, and audit log as everything else in Elaichi.

Questions, answered

How do I connect Notion to Claude?

Two steps. In Elaichi, add Notion and sign in to your Notion workspace, choosing which pages and databases to share on Notion's own consent screen. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, press Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the MCP server URL. There is no client ID or secret to generate, and you only do the Claude half once, however many apps you add later.

Does Notion work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. The same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Notion once in Elaichi and it shows up in whichever client each person prefers, so nobody re-does the setup per tool.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Notion?

Find and read pages, draft new ones, update page properties, work through database rows, and read or write comments. In practice people ask it to write up a meeting, keep a project database current, or pull together what a handful of scattered pages say. It works on the pages you share, using your own Notion access.

Does connecting Notion give the AI my whole workspace?

No. Notion's own consent screen decides this: you pick the pages and databases the connection can see, and everything you do not pick stays invisible. Inside Elaichi you can narrow it further, down to specific people or specific actions, and anything you restrict still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but the AI cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.

Can my team share one Notion connection?

Yes, and that is the usual setup. One person connects Notion and shares it with a team, so nobody else re-authorizes and nobody handles a Notion token. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so who did what stays visible in the audit log.

Can I let people read Notion without letting the AI change anything?

Yes. Restrictions work per action, so you can allow the Notion read tools and restrict create, update and delete for a person or a role. A restricted tool still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude or ChatGPT cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.

What happens to a Notion connection when someone leaves?

Offboard them in Elaichi and their access stops immediately, including anything they had connected through a client. A shared Notion connection keeps working for everyone else. To remove Notion entirely, disconnect it once in Elaichi; nobody has to go tidy their own Claude or ChatGPT settings.

Does the Notion MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Notion is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Notion?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Notion. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Notion call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Notion?

Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Notion: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
