Reviewer notes
Personally Tested review. These are observations, not a security certification.
Reliable in daily use. Full workspace access is powerful but requires careful API key management per client. Vendor official — Notion maintains it.
Full workspace read/write access. Credentials stored in Claude settings — do not share settings across clients. Source not reviewed in depth. RESTRICTED: Full workspace read/write. Cross-workspace connector scoping. Requires compensating controls (sandboxing, separate accounts, restricted profiles) before team deployment.
2026-04-02: LIMITATION: OAuth only — bearer token auth not supported, blocking headless/CI use. No bulk operations. Full workspace read/write access requires careful API key scoping.
2026-03-29: SECURITY FINDING (JJ Englert, Mar 2026): Cowork connectors are scoped at the Anthropic account level, NOT the workspace level. A connector added in one Cowork workspace is accessible in ALL workspaces under the same Anthropic account. This means: (1) connectors with sensitive access (email, calendar, CRM) bleed across all projects/workspaces; (2) multi-tenant setups sharing an Anthropic account are NOT isolated at the connector level; (3) evaluate connector blast radius across the full account, not just the workspace being configured.
