Why this tool?
Notion combines documentation, project tracking, and reference material in one flexible workspace. It's strongest for teams who want to consolidate their wiki, databases, and task boards without switching between tools. The MCP connector and API make it a reasonable hub for teams building internal tooling or AI workflows on top of their workspace.
