notion sucks. it’s always been so confusing to me. but notion MCP is so underrated. why? first, it’s one of the easiest MCPs to set up. you don’t have to write a single line of code and is usually one click connection on most AI chat apps. second, a notion hub is a single artifact that any model or ai chat app can work on. it’s a single source of context and memory for claude, chatgpt, any IDE or CLI. populate it with to-do’s, notes, work documents, events, anything and you can ask any model to organize it, read it, or make changes to it. it’s the best way i’ve found to no-code an actionable assistant. a few months ago i posted about using chatgpt projects to create a fitness coach. here’s how i’m using notion mcp to do the same now: o3-pro is the smartest planner. in chatgpt, i asked o3-pro to cycle a new training program tailored for me. then i instructed it to create a notion doc for the program, schedule and meal plan. claude code is a great systems architect. i asked claude opus in my CLI to read the notion and architect a hub for the program, where ill be logging workouts and a meal diary. it created a front page calendar with sub pages for workout instructions and a place to log sets and reps. i asked it to create a system prompt with instructions on how to read and populate the notion. then asked it to place it somewhere in the notion that any agent can read before making changes. now i can open chatgpt or claude on my phone when i’m at the gym and ask “what’s my workout today?” and it guides me through each exercise, logs my performance, and calculates progressions for my next workout. every chat is a complete throw away. the only thing that matters is what’s in the notion. you might not find the fitness use case to be as valuable for you, but maybe it sparks another idea on things you can track cross-model. and the third reason the notion MCP is so valuable is because it’s a database that’s very easy to check for mistakes or manually make changes. i don’t have to completely rely on the model. — the notion MCP has completely reinforced what a “product” and “interface” means with AI. it’s required my brain to see them in completely new ways. interoperability was always the most exciting aspect of blockchain for me. that you could port your data to any app, and apps are just different access points. the same applies here with chat apps and models. i can create a private database for myself and access it with any of the new models. i can start in chatgpt, finish in claude, and even fine tune my own model to do the same from my device. the app doesn’t matter. the model doesn’t matter. but the context is always there.

hahaha i just saw this. now you can use any AI including notion’s AI.
