27
- ## 🚀 Two Ways to Use This Server
28
-
29
- ### 1️⃣ **HTTP REST API** (New! Recommended for n8n, Zapier, Make.com)
30
-
31
- Use NotebookLM from **any tool** via HTTP REST API:
32
-
33
- **Option A: Install from npm**
34
-
35
- ```bash
36
- # Install globally
37
- npm install -g @roomi-fields/notebooklm-mcp
38
-
39
- # For MCP stdio mode (Claude Code, Cursor)
40
- notebooklm-mcp
41
-
42
- # For HTTP server mode
43
- # Note: Currently requires cloning the repo for HTTP mode
44
- # See Option B below
45
- ```
46
-
47
- **Option B: Install from source (Required for HTTP mode)**
48
-
49
- ```bash
50
- # Clone and install
51
- git clone https://github.com/roomi-fields/notebooklm-mcp.git
52
- cd notebooklm-mcp
53
- npm install
54
- npm run build
55
- npm run start:http
56
- ```
57
-
58
- **Query the API:**
59
-
60
- ```bash
61
- curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/ask \
62
- -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
63
- -d '{"question": "Explain X", "notebook_id": "my-notebook"}'
64
- ```
65
-
66
- **Perfect for:**
67
-
68
- - ✅ n8n workflows and automation
69
- - ✅ Zapier, Make.com integrations
70
- - ✅ Custom web applications
71
- - ✅ Backend APIs
72
-
73
- **👉 Full HTTP setup guide:** [deployment/docs/01-INSTALL.md](./deployment/docs/01-INSTALL.md)

-
77
- ### 2️⃣ **MCP stdio** (For Claude Code, Cursor, Codex)
78
-
79
- Use NotebookLM directly from your AI coding assistant:
80
-
81
- ```bash
82
- # Claude Code
83
- claude mcp add notebooklm npx @roomi-fields/notebooklm-mcp@latest
84
-
85
- # Codex
86
- codex mcp add notebooklm -- npx @roomi-fields/notebooklm-mcp@latest
87
-
88
- # Cursor (add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json)
89
- {
90
- "mcpServers": {
91
- "notebooklm": {
92
- "command": "npx",
93
- "args": ["-y", "@roomi-fields/notebooklm-mcp@latest"]
94
- }
95
- }
96
- }
97
- ```
98
-
99
- **Perfect for:**
21
+ ## Features
100
22
 
101
- - Claude Code, Cursor, Codex
102
- - ✅ Any MCP-compatible AI assistant
103
- - ✅ Direct CLI integration
23
+ ### Q&A with Citations
104
24
 
105
- ---
25
+ - **Ask questions** to NotebookLM and get accurate, citation-backed answers
26
+ - **Source citation extraction** with 5 formats: none, inline, footnotes, json, expanded
27
+ - **Session management** for multi-turn conversations
106
28
 
107
- ## The Problem
29
+ ### Content Generation
108
30
 
109
- When you tell Claude Code or Cursor to "search through my local documentation", here's what happens:
31
+ Generate multiple content types from your notebook sources:
110
32
 
111
- - **Massive token consumption**: Searching through documentation means reading multiple files repeatedly
112
- - **Inaccurate retrieval**: Searches for keywords, misses context and connections between docs
113
- - **Hallucinations**: When it can't find something, it invents plausible-sounding APIs
114
- - **Expensive & slow**: Each question requires re-reading multiple files
33
+ | Content Type | Formats | Options |
34
+ | ------------------ | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
35
+ | **Audio Overview** | Podcast-style discussion | Language (80+), custom instructions |
36
+ | **Video** | Brief, Explainer | 6 visual styles, language, custom instructions |
37
+ | **Infographic** | Horizontal, Vertical | Language, custom instructions |
38
+ | **Report** | Summary, Detailed | Language, custom instructions |
39
+ | **Presentation** | Overview, Detailed | Language, custom instructions |
40
+ | **Data Table** | Simple, Detailed | Language, custom instructions |
115
41
 
116
- ## The Solution
42
+ **Video Visual Styles**: classroom, documentary, animated, corporate, cinematic, minimalist
117
43
 
118
- Let your tools chat directly with [**NotebookLM**](https://notebooklm.google/) — Google's **zero-hallucination knowledge base** powered by Gemini 2.5 that provides intelligent, synthesized answers from your docs.
44
+ ### Content Download
119
45
 
120
- ```
121
- Your Task Agent/n8n asks NotebookLM → Gemini synthesizes answer → Correct output
122
- ```
46
+ - **Download Audio** — WAV audio files
47
+ - **Download Video** MP4 video files
48
+ - **Download Infographic** — PNG image files
49
+ - Text-based content (report, presentation, data_table) is returned in the API response
123
50
 
124
- **The real advantage**: No more manual copy-paste. Your agent/workflow asks NotebookLM directly and gets answers back. Build deep understanding through automatic follow-ups.
51
+ ### Source Management
125
52
 
126
- ---
53
+ - **Add sources**: Files (PDF, TXT, DOCX), URLs, Text, YouTube videos, Google Drive
54
+ - **List sources**: View all sources in a notebook
127
55
 
128
- ## Why NotebookLM, Not Local RAG?
56
+ ### Notebook Library
129
57
 
130
- | Approach | Token Cost | Setup Time | Hallucinations | Answer Quality |
131
- | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------ |
132
- | **Feed docs to Claude** | 🔴 Very high (multiple file reads) | Instant | Yes - fills gaps | Variable retrieval |
133
- | **Web search** | 🟡 Medium | Instant | High - unreliable sources | Hit or miss |
134
- | **Local RAG** | 🟡 Medium-High | Hours (embeddings, chunking) | Medium - retrieval gaps | Depends on setup |
135
- | **NotebookLM MCP** | 🟢 Minimal | 5 minutes | **Zero** - refuses if unknown | Expert synthesis |
58
+ - **Multi-notebook management** with validation and smart selection
59
+ - **Auto-discovery**: Automatically generate metadata via NotebookLM queries
60
+ - **Search notebooks** by keyword in name, description, or topics
136
61
 
137
- ### What Makes NotebookLM Superior?
62
+ ### Integration Options
138
63
 
139
- 1. **Pre-processed by Gemini**: Upload docs once, get instant expert knowledge
140
- 2. **Natural language Q&A**: Not just retrieval actual understanding and synthesis
141
- 3. **Multi-source correlation**: Connects information across 50+ documents
142
- 4. **Citation-backed**: Every answer includes source references
143
- 5. **No infrastructure**: No vector DBs, embeddings, or chunking strategies needed
64
+ - **MCP Protocol** Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, any MCP client
65
+ - **HTTP REST API** n8n, Zapier, Make.com, custom integrations

  ```bash
247
- curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/notebooks/auto-discover \
248
- -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
249
- -d '{"url": "https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/YOUR_ID"}'
250
- ```
251
-
252
- **2. System queries NotebookLM** to auto-generate:
253
-
254
- - Kebab-case name (3 words max)
255
- - Concise description (2 sentences)
256
- - Relevant tags (8-10 keywords)
257
-
258
- **3. Orchestrators discover autonomously**:
259
-
260
- - Claude Code finds relevant docs without prompting
261
- - n8n workflows auto-select documentation
262
- - Cursor matches context to notebooks
263
-
264
- ### Progressive disclosure pattern
265
-
266
- Inspired by [Claude Skills best practices](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/best-practices#progressive-disclosure-patterns):
267
-
268
- - **Level 0** (startup): Lightweight metadata loaded (~500 tokens)
269
- - **Level 1** (matching): Local tag/description search (0 NotebookLM queries)
270
- - **Level 2** (deep query): Targeted NotebookLM query only when needed
271
-
272
- ### Why this matters
273
-
274
- **Before**: Manual library management, orchestrators can't discover resources autonomously
275
-
276
- **After**: Self-organizing library, autonomous documentation discovery
277
-
278
- Perfect for:
279
-
280
- - ✅ Teams with 10+ documentation notebooks
281
- - ✅ n8n workflows needing dynamic doc access
282
- - ✅ Claude Code autonomous research
283
- - ✅ Onboarding new developers without manual setup
284
-
285
- ### Example workflow
286
-
287
- ```bash
288
- # 1. Add documentation notebooks (auto-discover metadata)
289
- curl -X POST /notebooks/auto-discover -d '{"url": "https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/n8n-docs"}'
290
- curl -X POST /notebooks/auto-discover -d '{"url": "https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/react-guide"}'
291
-
292
- # 2. Claude Code autonomously discovers relevant notebook
293
- User: "Build Gmail automation with n8n"
294
- → System matches: "n8n-docs" (tags: ["n8n", "gmail", "automation"])
295
- → Query NotebookLM: "Gmail node configuration?"
296
- → Claude implements with accurate info
297
-
298
- # 3. Zero hallucinations, zero manual intervention
299
- ```
300
-
301
- ---
302
-
303
- ### Background Daemon Mode
304
-
305
- Run the HTTP server as a background process without keeping a terminal window open:
306
-
307
- ```bash
308
- # Start server in background
309
- npm run daemon:start
310
-
311
- # View real-time logs
312
- npm run daemon:logs
313
-
314
- # Check server status
315
- npm run daemon:status
316
-
317
- # Restart server
318
- npm run daemon:restart
319
-
320
- # Stop server
321
- npm run daemon:stop
322
-
323
- # Remove from PM2 process list
324
- npm run daemon:delete
325
- ```
326
-
327
- **Features:**
328
-
329
- - ✅ Runs in background without terminal window
330
- - ✅ Auto-restart on crash
331
- - ✅ Centralized log management (logs/pm2-\*.log)
332
- - ✅ Memory limit protection (1GB max)
333
- - ✅ Production-ready process management
334
-
335
- **Configuration:** Edit `ecosystem.config.cjs` to customize PM2 behavior (env vars, restart policy, etc.)

- ### MCP Quick Start
432
-
433
- 1. **Install** the MCP server (see above)
434
-
435
- 2. **Authenticate** (one-time)
436
-
437
- Say in your chat (Claude/Codex):
438
-
439
- ```
440
- "Log me in to NotebookLM"
441
- ```
442
-
443
- _A Chrome window opens → log in with Google_
444
-
445
- 3. **Create your knowledge base**
446
-
447
- Go to [notebooklm.google.com](https://notebooklm.google.com) → Create notebook → Upload your docs:
448
-
449
- - 📄 PDFs, Google Docs, markdown files
450
- - 🔗 Websites, GitHub repos
451
- - 🎥 YouTube videos
452
- - 📚 Multiple sources per notebook
453
-
454
- Share: **⚙️ Share → Anyone with link → Copy**
455
-
456
- 4. **Let Claude use it**
457
-
458
- ```
459
- "I'm building with [library]. Here's my NotebookLM: [link]"
108
+ # Query the API
109
+ curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/ask \
110
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
111
+ -d '{"question": "Explain X", "notebook_id": "my-notebook"}'
460
112
  ```
461
113
 
462
- **That's it.** Claude now asks NotebookLM whatever it needs, building expertise before writing code.

- ## Real-World Example
503
-
504
- ### Building an n8n Workflow Without Hallucinations
505
-
506
- **Challenge**: n8n's API is new — Claude hallucinates node names and functions.
507
-
508
- **Solution**:
509
-
510
- 1. Downloaded complete n8n documentation → merged into manageable chunks
511
- 2. Uploaded to NotebookLM
512
- 3. Told Claude: _"Build me a Gmail spam filter workflow. Use this NotebookLM: [link]"_
513
-
514
- **Watch the AI-to-AI conversation:**
515
-
516
- ```
517
- Claude → "How does Gmail integration work in n8n?"
518
- NotebookLM → "Use Gmail Trigger with polling, or Gmail node with Get Many..."
519
-
520
- Claude → "How to decode base64 email body?"
521
- NotebookLM → "Body is base64url encoded in payload.parts, use Function node..."
522
-
523
- Claude → "How to parse OpenAI response as JSON?"
524
- NotebookLM → "Set responseFormat to json, use {{ $json.spam }} in IF node..."
525
-
526
- Claude → "What about error handling if the API fails?"
527
- NotebookLM → "Use Error Trigger node with Continue On Fail enabled..."
528
-
529
- Claude → ✅ "Here's your complete workflow JSON..."
530
- ```
116
+ ## Documentation
531

- ## Core Features
537
-
538
- ### **Zero Hallucinations**
539
-
540
- NotebookLM refuses to answer if information isn't in your docs. No invented APIs.
541
-
542
- ### **Multi-Notebook Library**
543
-
544
- Manage multiple NotebookLM notebooks with automatic validation, duplicate detection, and smart selection.
545
-
546
- ### **Autonomous Research**
547
-
548
- Claude asks follow-up questions automatically, building complete understanding before coding.
549
-
550
- ### **Deep, Iterative Research**
551
-
552
- - Claude automatically asks follow-up questions to build complete understanding
553
- - Each answer triggers deeper questions until Claude has all the details
554
- - Example: For n8n workflow, Claude asked multiple sequential questions about Gmail integration, error handling, and data transformation
132
+ ## Roadmap
555
133
 
556
- ### **HTTP REST API**
134
+ See [ROADMAP.md](./ROADMAP.md) for planned features and version history.
557
135
 
558
- Use NotebookLM from n8n, Zapier, Make.com, or any HTTP client. No MCP required.
136
+ **Latest releases:**
559
137
 
560
- ### **Cross-Tool Sharing**
138
+ - **v1.5.0** — Complete Studio content generation (video, infographic, presentation, data_table) + Notes management + Delete sources
139
+ - **v1.4.0** — Content management (sources, audio, generation) + Multi-account
140
+ - **v1.3.7** — Source citation extraction (5 formats)
561
141
 
562

- ## Comparison to Alternatives
605
-
606
- ### vs. Downloading docs locally
607
-
608
- - **You**: Download docs → Claude: "search through these files"
609
- - **Problem**: Claude reads thousands of files → massive token usage, often misses connections
610
- - **NotebookLM**: Pre-indexed by Gemini, semantic understanding across all docs
611
-
612
- ### vs. Web search
613
-
614
- - **You**: "Research X online"
615
- - **Problem**: Outdated info, hallucinated examples, unreliable sources
616
- - **NotebookLM**: Only your trusted docs, always current, with citations
149
+ ## Disclaimer
617
150
 
618
- ### vs. Local RAG setup
151
+ This tool automates browser interactions with NotebookLM. Use a dedicated Google account for automation. CLI tools like Claude Code can make mistakes — always review changes before deploying.
619
152
 
620
- - **You**: Set up embeddings, vector DB, chunking strategy, retrieval pipeline
621
- - **Problem**: Hours of setup, tuning retrieval, still gets "creative" with gaps
622
- - **NotebookLM**: Upload docs → done. Google handles everything.

- ## FAQ
627
-
628
- **Is it really zero hallucinations?**
629
- Yes. NotebookLM is specifically designed to only answer from uploaded sources. If it doesn't know, it says so.
630
-
631
- **What about rate limits?**
632
- Free tier has daily query limits per Google account. Quick account switching supported for continued research.
633
-
634
- **How secure is this?**
635
- Chrome runs locally. Your credentials never leave your machine. Use a dedicated Google account if concerned.
636
-
637
- **Can I see what's happening?**
638
- Yes! Say _"Show me the browser"_ (MCP mode) or set `HEADLESS=false` (HTTP mode) to watch the live NotebookLM conversation.
157
+ ## Contributing
639
158
 
640
- **What makes this better than Claude's built-in knowledge?**
641
- Your docs are always current. No training cutoff. No hallucinations. Perfect for new libraries, internal APIs, or fast-moving projects.

166
 
649
- **With NotebookLM**: Research first → Write correct code → Ship faster

  **About browser automation:**
660
- While I've built in humanization features (realistic typing speeds, natural delays, mouse movements) to make the automation behave more naturally, I can't guarantee Google won't detect or flag automated usage. I recommend using a dedicated Google account for automation rather than your primary account—think of it like web scraping: probably fine, but better safe than sorry!

- I built this tool for myself because I was tired of the copy-paste dance between NotebookLM and my editor. I'm sharing it in the hope it helps others too, but I can't take responsibility for any issues, data loss, or account problems that might occur. Use at your own discretion and judgment.
