How to use it with AI

How Notion connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.

Platform	MCP / connector	API (agent-written code)	Browser	Upload / export
Claude (incl. Claude Code)	Not documented Notion has an official MCP server and Claude (incl. Claude Code) supports MCP, but Notion's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ. Notion MCP docs ↗Claude (incl. Claude Code) MCP docs ↗	Confirmed Claude (incl. Claude Code) can run code; Notion publishes an API. Claude (incl. Claude Code) docs ↗	Confirmed Claude Code with the Claude in Chrome extension (Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers) Claude (incl. Claude Code) browser docs ↗	Confirmed Export from Notion, then works on the files in your project; chat accepts attachments Claude (incl. Claude Code) docs ↗
OpenAI Codex	Not documented Notion has an official MCP server and OpenAI Codex supports MCP, but Notion's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ. Notion MCP docs ↗OpenAI Codex MCP docs ↗	Confirmed OpenAI Codex can run code; Notion publishes an API. OpenAI Codex docs ↗	Confirmed Only in the ChatGPT desktop app; not in the Codex CLI or IDE extension OpenAI Codex browser docs ↗	Confirmed Export from Notion, then works on local repositories OpenAI Codex docs ↗
Google Antigravity	Not documented Notion has an official MCP server and Google Antigravity supports MCP, but Notion's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ. Notion MCP docs ↗Google Antigravity MCP docs ↗	Confirmed Google Antigravity can run code; Notion publishes an API. Google Antigravity docs ↗	Confirmed Browser subagent via /browser, documented as an Antigravity App feature; the IDE has separate browser docs Google Antigravity browser docs ↗	Confirmed Export from Notion, then works on local projects and worktrees Google Antigravity docs ↗

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.
