NotebookLM
The NotebookLM MCP server enables CLI agents (Claude, Cursor) to query Google's NotebookLM directly, allowing agents to retrieve synthesized answers from user-uploaded notebooks without hallucinations or manual context switching. It provides tools for agents to ask questions about notebook content, with NotebookLM's Gemini 2.5 backend synthesizing accurate answers based on the source material. This solves the problems of token waste, inaccurate retrieval, and hallucinations that occur when agents attempt to search through local documentation or use traditional RAG systems.

NotebookLM MCP Server
MCP server for Google NotebookLM. It drives a real Chrome via Patchright (stealth + persistent fingerprint) so an agent can chat against a notebook, ingest sources, generate audio overviews, and read DOM-level citations. Two transports are supported: stdio (default) and Streamable-HTTP. v2.0.0 is the current line; v1 is no longer supported.
