The wildest part is I'm probably using 5% of what's possible (I admit I am an absolute newbie). Every week I discover new ways to automate stuff I didn't even realize was stealing my time.

Enough talking, let’s focus on how to set it up for you too:

The simple way to set this up in 15 minutes

I know what you're thinking:

'This sounds way too technical for me.'"

That's what I thought too. But here's exactly what you need to get this set up:

1. Claude Desktop app (not the web version)

2. Node.js (just download and click install - like any normal app)

3. Docker Desktop app

4. A solid 15 minutes of focus

The Docker route

• Download Docker Desktop, start it

• Activate MCP Toolkit (Settings → Beta Features → Enable Docker MCP)

• Go to Clients→ Connect Claude Desktop

• Go to Servers → Connect with Notion (you need to create an integration for your notion account copy the Token to Docker and connect a Notion workspace)

• Activate the Notion integration in docker

• You should now be able to access your notion via Claude

• if it DOESN’T work check the next manual route

The manual route

• Go to T and create a new integration

• Give it access to your workspace and copy your notion token

• Allow all capabilities you want to (I use all of them)

• Go to “Access” and chose which pages MCP should get access to (I use a dedicated MCP workspace for this)

• Go to the Claude Toolbar → Settings → Developer

• Click Edit Config

• Open the file with Texteditor and add this code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notionApi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@notionhq/notion-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS": "{\"Authorization\": \"Bearer ntn_****\", \"Notion-Version\": \"2022-06-28\" }"
      }
    }
  }
}

• Paste into Claude and also paste our notion token and tell Claude to insert your notion token into the code (ntn_*** should be replaced with your unique Notion token)

• Save the file and restart Claude

• You should now be able to use Notion MCP

Pro tip: Start with ONE tool. Just connect Notion. Feel the magic. Then add more after you get more comfortable.

The next thing I added was the Apify MCP server.

(Here’s a guide how to add these, paste it into Claude and it will help you)

Suddenly Claude could use TikTok scrapers, X scrapers, LinkedIn scrapers - basically any web scraping tool you can imagine.

There's also a whole ecosystem of tools hiding inside Docker you can activate with a few clicks.

As you can see, there is an unlimited amount of opportunity. The key is to just just start somewhere.

The early adopter advantage

I’ll be honest, MCP isn't perfect yet. It’s desktop only. Manual setup. Sometimes glitchy.

But that's kind of the point.

Right now, hardly anyone's using this. Most people see "15-minute setup" and close the tab.

Meanwhile, I'm saving hours every week. My content process is now automated and streamlined. My research happens in seconds instead of hours.

The tools are improving fast. What took me 10 hours to figure out 2 months ago now takes 30 minutes. In a few months it'll probably be even easier and faster.

But why wait?

Every week you postpone this is another week of copy-pasta marathons and manual busy work.

The setup is a one-time pain for ongoing gains. Like going to the gym - sucks for the first week, then becomes normal routine in your life.

Here’s the output it gave me based on the example inputs I wrote above:

Pretty incredible, right?

It suggests an ideal price and recommends improvements to the offer to support that premium price point.

I took some timee off this summer, just enjoying time with my family before the school year cranked back up.

But here's what I realized these past few weeks:

I genuinely love creating, and even more helping people solve problems.

The break was amazing, but I'm excited to get back into it.

Especially now that I'm diving in to learning more about social selling.

The difference?

This time I'm not going back to the old copy-paste grind. MCP changed the game for me.

Now I can create more while being much smarter about my time, so I can maximize the things that matter in my life, like my family.

That's the real win.

See you next Tuesday @ 10 am.🦎
