notebooklm

Automate Google NotebookLM at scale: manage notebooks and upload sources, generate audio podcasts and Studio outputs like videos/infographics/reports/presentations/tables, query with citations, rotate multiple accounts with auto-reauth, and cache answers offline for RTFM workflows.

NotebookLM REST API + MCP server

Automate Google NotebookLM at scale. 33-endpoint HTTP REST API for n8n / Zapier / Make / curl, plus an MCP server for Claude Code / Cursor / Codex. Citation-backed Q&A, full Studio generation (audio · video · infographic · report · presentation · data table), multi-account rotation with auto-reauth.

v1.7.9 — production-grade, batch-tested on overnight runs of 1 000+ questions. New: batch_to_vault is now a first-class MCP tool (no HTTP server required) on top of the existing POST /batch-to-vault endpoint. See RTFM integration for the full pattern. Compare with PleasePrompto/notebooklm-mcp v2.0.0 to see when this project is the right pick (REST API, full Studio, auto-reauth) and when the MCP-only upstream is.
