# Give ChatGPT, Claude and your other agents one shared brain in Notion: run the setup prompt once per agent so preferences, decisions and Skills live in the same Memories database

Notion's help docs for Notion MCP describe a setup prompt that teaches connected agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients) to check Notion for context before answering, save useful work back, and remember what matters from chat to chat. After you connect each app to Notion MCP and share the setup prompt, the agent can create a private Agent Operating Guide and store preferences, decisions and project details in a private Memories database you can review and edit. Notion positions this as one shared brain so any connected agent can pick up where the last one left off, without importing another client's full chat history automatically—you ask the agent to remember what you want saved. Memories respect existing Notion permissions and can be turned off by workspace owners or in personal Notion AI settings. Skills via MCP and broader agent handoffs are documented alongside Memories in Notion's developer guides.

## Inputs to collect first
Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts.

- ChatGPT / Claude / Cursor / others
- Name

## Instructions

Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket].

Help me set Notion up as the shared memory for my AI agents. I use: [ChatGPT / Claude / Cursor / others]. Workspace: [name]. 1) Tell me exactly how to connect each app to Notion MCP. 2) Give me the setup prompt to paste so the agent creates an Agent Operating Guide and a private Memories database. 3) List what I should ask it to remember first (prefs, project names, decision rules) and what should stay out of Memories (secrets, one-off chats). 4) Draft custom instructions I can paste into each app so future chats check Notion first. 5) Give a 10-minute weekly cleanup: review Memories, delete stale items, confirm permissions. Do not change my live Notion workspace until I confirm each step.

## Safety checks (share these with the user)

- Remove names, contact details, account numbers and other personal data the task doesn't need before you paste, and check your AI tool's data and training settings.
- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
- Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed.
