Connect Notion to Tembo to access your workspace content through MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.

​
Overview

The Notion integration allows Tembo to connect to your Notion workspaces, enabling AI agents to access and work with your documentation, databases, and other Notion content through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

​
Features

  • MCP Server Access - Connect your Notion workspace content to AI agents
  • OAuth Authentication - Secure connection to your Notion account
  • Workspace Integration - Access all pages and databases in connected workspaces

​
Installation

1

Install

Navigate to the Integrations page in Tembo and click the Install button next to Notion.
2

Authorize

Authorize Tembo to access your Notion account. You’ll be prompted to grant access to your Notion workspaces and choose specific pages Tembo will be able to access. You’ll be redirected back to the Integrations page when complete.
3

Configure Workspace

After authorization, your Notion workspace will be connected and available for use with MCP-enabled agents.

​
Usage

​
MCP Server Access

Once connected, the Notion MCP server provides AI agents with access to:
  • Pages - Read and interact with Notion pages
  • Databases - Query and manipulate database content
  • Blocks - Access individual content blocks within pages
  • Workspace Structure - Navigate through your workspace hierarchy

​
Integration with Coding Agents

The Notion integration enables coding agents to:
  • Reference documentation stored in Notion
  • Pull context from Notion databases for development tasks
  • Access project requirements and specifications
  • Maintain consistency between documentation and code

​
Managing Your Integration

​
Reauthorization

If you need to modify the permissions or reconnect your Notion account:
  1. Navigate to the Integrations page
  2. Find the Notion integration card
  3. Click the settings button to reauthorize or disconnect

​
Supported Permissions

The integration requires the following Notion permissions:
  • Read access to pages and databases
  • Write access to pages it is allowed to access, including creating new subpages
  • Access to workspace content structure
  • Ability to read user information for workspace identification

​
Best Practices

  • Organize content — Use a dedicated workspace section with consistent page structures
  • Keep specs current — Ensure requirements match your project needs
  • Use clear headings — Structured headings help agents navigate content
  • Include code examples — Add code snippets when documenting technical requirements
  • Link related pages — Cross-reference documentation to provide complete context

​
Troubleshooting

Workspace not appearing? Verify you completed the OAuth flow and granted workspace access. Check that you selected pages Tembo can access, then reauthorize if needed. Agents can’t find content? During authorization, explicitly select pages Tembo can access. Ensure pages aren’t restricted to specific workspace members. Nested pages inherit parent permissions but must be in an authorized section.

​
Security & Privacy

  • OAuth 2.0 - Secure authentication using Notion’s official OAuth flow
  • Workspace-scoped - Access is limited to the specific workspace you authorize
  • Read and write operations - Provides read access to content and write access to pages it is allowed to access, including creating new subpages
