What changed

Notion's own agents can now use MCP connections to outside tools. Notion lists more than 150 available connections and gives these examples:

  • HubSpot pipeline data
  • Stripe billing details
  • Cloudflare infrastructure details

The Connections settings page was redesigned to match. You can search or browse tools by category, see how each one connects, and preview example workflows. Admins can allow only Notion-verified tools, or only specific tools they choose.

How it fits with earlier connectors

Notion's AI connectors (Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, Jira, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and others, with Salesforce and Box added in April 2026) let Notion AI search other tools. MCP connections go further: agents can act in the connected tool. Notion 3.7 introduced this as Custom MCP in beta for Business and Enterprise, where Notion Agent walks you through setting up a connection and actions wait for your approval.

Notion's October 19 announcement says agents can now connect to "hundreds of tools," up from a few dozen earlier in the summer.

What to set up first

  1. Admins: decide on "verified tools only" before people start connecting things.
  2. Sales and finance teams: connect HubSpot or Stripe and ask a Custom Agent for a weekly pipeline or billing summary written into a Notion page.
  3. Engineering: connect Cloudflare or GitHub and give an incident-review agent read access.

Yes. The redesigned Connections settings let admins allow only Notion-verified tools or a hand-picked list.

    On October 20, 2026 Notion changed its hosted MCP server so notion-search only searches Notion pages and databases. A new notion-connector-search tool covers connected sources like Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, mail and calendar, and takes a sources parameter. notion-ai-search is now hidden from tools/list but still callable.
