An MCP server and Claude Code skill that lets AI coding agents chat directly with Google NotebookLM notebooks, returning source-grounded, citation-backed answers from Gemini based only on the user's uploaded documents. It provides browser automation, notebook library management, persistent authentication, source ingestion, and audio overview generation over stdio and Streamable-HTTP transports.

Use cases

• query my uploaded documents from claude code with citation-backed answers
• connect an mcp client to google notebooklm notebooks
• reduce hallucinations by grounding coding agent answers in my own docs
• ingest sources into notebooklm and generate audio overviews programmatically
• manage a library of notebooklm notebooks with persistent login
• ask questions about my project documentation without copy-pasting into a browser

When to choose

• you already use Claude Code or another MCP client and want NotebookLM as a grounded knowledge source
• you want answers restricted to your uploaded documents with citations instead of keyword search over local files
• you prefer NotebookLM's Gemini-based synthesis over building and maintaining a local RAG pipeline
• you need to automate notebook chat, source ingestion, or audio overview creation

When to avoid

• you need a fully offline or self-hosted RAG solution without a Google account
• you want to use the skill inside the Claude Code web UI, which lacks the network access browser automation requires
• you are not comfortable with browser automation against the NotebookLM web interface, which may break if Google changes it
• you need a general-purpose web search or public-internet question answering rather than answers from your own corpus
