Notion is where your team's knowledge lives. Getting information in and out of it shouldn't take manual copy-pasting and tab-switching.
Companion connects directly to your Notion workspace. Ask it to create pages, update database entries, or summarize a project — and it does it while you stay focused on the actual work.
What you need
- Companion installed (download here)
- An OpenRouter API key (free, pay per use)
- A Notion workspace (free plan works)
Step 1: Connect Notion
Open Settings → Integrations in Companion's sidebar. Find Notion and click Connect.
You'll be sent to Notion's OAuth page, where you select which pages and databases to share with Companion. You control exactly what it can access — just the workspaces you choose to connect.
Authorize it. Takes about 30 seconds.
Step 2: Your first automation
Once connected, try this:
Create a new page in my Notion called "Meeting Notes — May 2026" with sections for Agenda, Decisions, and Action Items.
Companion creates the page with the correct structure — headers, sections, empty fields ready to fill — inside your selected workspace.
Or try something database-focused:
Add a new task to my Tasks database in Notion: "Review Q2 blog content" with the status "In Progress" and due date May 30.
Companion finds the right database, creates the entry with the correct properties, and confirms. No opening Notion manually. No typing into the UI.
What it costs
Creating and updating Notion pages uses minimal tokens — a typical page creation costs under $0.002 with Claude Haiku. A full day of Notion updates would cost pennies. For reference: Notion AI costs $8/month per member. With Companion BYOK, you pay only for what you use.
More workflows
Daily standup notes: "Create a standup note for today in my Team Standup database with columns for What I did yesterday, What I'm doing today, and Blockers"
Summarize a page: "Summarize the Q2 roadmap page in Notion in 5 bullet points"
Bulk database updates: "Go through my Backlog database and mark anything with a due date before May 1st as Overdue"
Meeting-to-Notion: "Take these meeting notes I'm about to dictate and create a structured Notion page from them"
Research capture: "Search the web for the latest news about OpenRouter and add a summary to my Research database in Notion"
The last one combines Browser MCP with Notion MCP in a single prompt — Companion researches, then writes the results into your workspace automatically.
