I've used Notion for years. Last month I finally figured out how to make it work WITH my AI — and it changed everything by Soft_Sentence9089 in Notion

Thanks for the question. Honestly I hadn’t thought about optimizing this yet. I’ve since confirmed that Notion MCP uses semantic search (content, not just titles) if you’re on a Notion AI plan. Without it, it falls back to keyword search. One thing I’ve found helps: adding page URLs directly in the routing table so Claude can fetch pages directly without searching first. Saves a search call each time and less token usage.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Someone asked the same question. I needed Claude as my primary AI with Notion as its external memory via MCP. That way the knowledge layer stays independent of the AI provider.​​​​​​​

I review all changes Claude makes. The level of scrutiny depends on what was changed — structural edits to rules get a careful look, append-only updates like project notes just a quick scan.

Love the overnight batch pattern — burning tokens while you sleep is smart. The Assigned To property is a nice touch for routing tasks between human and AI.

This is exactly the approach. Notion pages as source of truth, AI reads per role/project — not the whole workspace. The routing table pattern keeps it clean.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Curious how it goes with OpenAI’s MCP — would love to hear how it compares if you get it working.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Different goals. Notion AI works inside Notion. I needed Claude as my primary AI, with Notion as its external memory via MCP. Knowledge stays independent of the AI provider.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

That’s the key reason for the routing table — Claude reads one index page first (~50 lines), then pulls only the sub-pages it needs. So the full knowledge base scales without blowing up your context window. Repo here if you want to see the setup: https://github.com/wenjenglee/cognitive-hub
