What’s New in Notion – Changelog & Release Notes

Notion 3.8 October 2026 Agents & MCP

Notion 3.8: Context for your agents

Your agents and teams run on context. This update is all about context: connecting data, tools, and skills so you’re free to use any agent or model.

Connect your agents to Notion with MCP

Connect an MCP-compatible agent to Notion so it can read your workspace context and update docs and task trackers. Whether you use Claudes, Muses, GrokBots, Dots, or another agent, Notion gives them a shared place to find what they need, so you can switch agents without starting from scratch.

Connect your Notion Agents to 150+ tools with MCP

Bring external data directly into your agents’ reasoning loops. Connect tools like GitHub, Amplitude, Salesforce, Sentry, and Stripe through standard Model Context Protocol endpoints.

Write a skill once. Use it with every agent.

Define prompts, validation rules, and output schemas once. Share skills across teams and connect them with any model in your workspace.

See every change by every person and agent

Detailed audit logs and inline database diff highlights show exactly who or which agent modified a property, block, or page.

Don’t pay twice. Use your ChatGPT plan in Notion.

Connect your existing ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription to cover AI reasoning credits directly in Notion.

Column permissions in databases

Granular column-level edit and view access rules prevent agents or guests from modifying sensitive columns like budget or salary.

Reintroducing synced databases

Rebuilt from the ground up: 2-way live sync for GitHub Issues, Jira projects, and Salesforce CRM records.

New week, new models

Seamlessly test and toggle between the newest flagship models including Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, and Gemini 1.5 Pro.
