Notion, as any other thin-AI product out there, is now in Anthropic/OpenAI/Google's crosshairs. Unless one has a moat the size of SharePoint or Google Docs or OneDrive, it's just a feature away.

I really like Notion's UI. I wish they would focus only on that and let me access my Notion DB as .md files with Claude.
I know this is probably out of scope, but I'd love it as well if Notion could slowly accrete the features of Airtable... at least expose some form of programmatic access to tables!
Yes, please. Their MCP suuuuuuuucks

How does it suck? I use it almost daily and love their Notion MCP

Can't limit access easily. You can do per-workspace permissions and that's about it.
I was probably a bit harsh.
It works, but models seem to have these insane long traces to do the most basic things. I had to create a couple of skills so they know how to properly use the thing without breaking, so they don't always try to pass the wrong parameters to it.
It also doesn't let us change a couple of things (like icons). Or, if it does, not even Opus 4.6 can figure out how to do it.

Take a look at Outline! I use it almost exactly like a cloud based Obsidian vault. And they have been very responsive for MCP feature requests

I don't think they have added a Obsidian Bases / Notion Database like feature yet, right? Saw some discussion of adding a NocoDB integration, but also didn't see that happen yet.
