Jeff Sheltren Demonstrates Claude Code and Notion MCP Integration for Documentation Analysis
Jeff Sheltren, Partner and CIO at Tag1 Consulting, demonstrates how to integrate Claude Code with Notion using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to improve internal documentation workflows. This builds on his earlier AI-driven restructuring of Tag1’s documentation system.
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that allows AI tools to securely access external data sources. Sheltren used it to connect Claude Code to Notion, enabling his internal LLMs to retrieve, search, and analyze documentation without exposing sensitive data to third-party platforms. This integration respected Tag1’s policy of running AI models locally for privacy and control.
The setup involved installing the Notion-hosted MCP server into Claude Code, authenticating access to a Notion workspace via OAuth, and optionally configuring auto-permissions for search and fetch operations. Through MCP, Claude could summarize content, surface key pages, and support ongoing documentation restructuring within Notion.
Sheltren cautions against enabling write access without safeguards, recommending incremental testing and backups. The tutorial emphasizes how AI can assist—not replace—editorial decisions, helping teams unlock insights from sprawling documentation through secure, automated analysis.
