π January 2026 β Major Update! This project has been completely refactored to unify NotebookLM-MCP and NotebookLM-CLI into a single, powerful package. One install gives you both the CLI (nlm) and MCP server (notebooklm-mcp). See the CLI Guide and MCP Guide for full documentation.
Run this in your terminal to verify the server starts. Then let us know if it worked β your result helps other developers.
uvx 'notebooklm-mcp-cli' 2>&1 | head -1 && echo "β Server started successfully"
After testing, let us know if it worked:
Five weighted categories β click any category to see the underlying evidence.
No known CVEs.
Checked notebooklm-mcp-cli against OSV.dev.
Click any tool to inspect its schema.

Use nlm directly in your terminal for scripting, automation, or interactive use:
nlm notebook list # List all notebooks
nlm notebook create "Research Project" # Create a notebook
nlm source add <notebook> --url "https://..." # Add sources
nlm audio create <notebook> --confirm # Generate podcast
nlm download audio <notebook> <artifact-id> # Download audio file
nlm share public <notebook> # Enable public link
Run nlm --ai for comprehensive AI-assistant documentation.
Connect AI assistants (Claude, Gemini, Cursor, etc.) to NotebookLM:
# Automatic setup β picks the right config for each tool
nlm setup add claude-code
nlm setup add gemini
nlm setup add github-copilot
nlm setup add cursor
nlm setup add cline
nlm setup add antigravity
# Generate JSON config for any other tool
nlm setup add json
Then use natural language: "Create a notebook about quantum computing and generate a podcast"
