As part of your registration for the Cartesia x Anthropic Voice Agents Hackathon hosted by Notion, we're excited to offer you a complimentary trial of our Notion for Business plan. Notion blends your everyday work tools into one. Thousands of startups use Notion as their connected workspace for everything from fundraising to engineering specs to building data rooms. Now, you can access the limitless power of Notion AI to build and scale your company and team with one tool.

:agent-task: You are also one of the first to trial our new Custom Agents —Team-wide AI teammates that automate recurring workflows. Shared across your workspace and run autonomously on schedules or triggers.

If your workspace hasn't been upgraded to Business or you're not seeing Agents (Beta) in your left sidebar, reach out to our team at [email protected]. Note that for any registrations made after 2/5, workspace upgrades are not guaranteed.

First things first - Lets set up your MCP Integration:

Notion MCP Server

Notion remote MCP server currently supports both Streamable HTTP and SSE transports.

• Streamable HTTP : https://mcp.notion.com/mcp (Recommended)
• SSE: https://mcp.notion.com/sse

Notion provides a hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI tools to interact with Notion workspaces.

Notion MCP connection mirrors the connected user’s permissions and automatically has access to all content the user has access to.

• Real-time Collaboration: Work simultaneously with your team—see edits as they happen.
  • Tip: Create a shared project hub page so everyone knows where to contribute.
• Pages & Databases: Build interconnected pages for docs, tasks, and research. Use task databases with status, assignee, and priority.
  • Tip: Document decisions as you go, and keep all resources (APIs, links, notes) in one searchable place.
• Notion AI & Custom Agents: Automate busywork with AI-powered assistants that can generate content, scribe notes, answer questions, and streamline repetitive tasks.
  • Tips: Use custom agents for boilerplate code, research summaries, and timeline planning.
• MCP Integration: Connect with external tools like GitHub, Figma, and Slack using Model Context Protocol. See the Notion MCP Developer documentation for setup details.
  • Tip: Centralize everything in Notion so your team doesn’t context-switch across tools.

📋 Recommended Templates

• **Project & Task Tracker:** Manage your hackathon project timeline, tasks, and deliverables in one place. Track progress across team members and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

:agent-updates: Introducing Custom Agents: Workflows that run themselves

Custom Agents automate recurring, manual workflows for your entire team. They run automatically in the background on set triggers using your existing docs and databases as context.

Set them up once - building a workflow for repetitive tasks like weekly reports or triaging feedback - and it becomes a shared resource the whole team relies on.
