How to connect Notion to your AI Agent

Integrating your favorite tools with AI Agents can supercharge your workflow. With AgentX, you can connect various Model Context Protocol (MCPs) like Notion, enabling your AI Agents to access, organize, and act on information stored in Notion workspaces. This guide walks you step-by-step through adding a Notion MCP to your AI Agent on AgentX.

Prerequisites

Before you get started, make sure you have the following:

• An AgentX account. (Create an account if you do not have one yet - it's free!)

• A Notion account (with workspace permissions for the data you want your agent to access)

• (Optional) Admin rights of Notion account if you are planning using Team workspace.

Step 1: Select an agent that you want to integrate with Notion

1. Log in to your AgentX dashboard.

2. Select an existing agent or create a new agent (Learn how to create an agent).

3. In the Edit page, navigate to Tools tab.

4. Find Notion under Featured MCPs and click "+" to install. (See image 1)

Now you will see a pop up ask for your Notion API token. (See image 2)

Let's move to Notion to find the token.

Step 2: Find Notion API token and set the right permission

Login to your Notion account and navigate to integrations page.

You can go to that page by the link: https://www.notion.so/profile/integrations 

Or you can find it on the setting page:

1. Click your profile on top left corner and click Settings.

2. In the pop up window, click Connections. (If there are two buttons called Connections, either one works).

3. And then scroll down, click Develop or manage integrations. (See image 3)

Once you are in the Notion integrations page. Create a new API token. (See image 4)

1. Click New Integration.

2. Pick a name for the integration. Like "AgentX Integration".

3. Choose a workspace to integrate to.

4. Now you successfully created your Notion API token. 

5. [Important] Don't leave the page so soon, you will need to setup the correct Access permission too.

Set up correct Access for the integration. (See image 5)

1. Click Access tab.

2. Choose the workspace and page that you want the AI agent to have access to.

3. Note: i) Your agent will not have any access for pages that are not included in the Access setting. ii) Select parent page will give access for all children pages.

Step 3: Copy and Paste Notion API token to AI agent on AgentX

1. Go back to AgentX AI agent edit - Notion MCP setup page.

2. Copy and paste the Notion API Token that you just created to Environment Variable field. (See image 6)

3. Click check MCP Server.

4. If everything goes well, you should see a list of Tools.

5. Then Click Save MCP Server.

Congrats🎉! Now you AI Agent is successfully integrated with your Notion workspace!

Let's see it in actions.

Example: "Write a joke about growth in Growth page". (See image 7)

You can see how the AI agent finish the task by:

1. Searching for the page with name "Growth", and find its page ID.

2. Find the children blocks in the page.

3. Write the content in a new block at bottom of the page.

All those actions and decision makings were happening autonomously and transparently included in the chain-of-thought.
