### Description (declared)

# NotebookLM MCP Server

MCP server that exposes Google NotebookLM as tools for any MCP-compatible client.

Built on [notebooklm-py](https://github.com/teng-lin/notebooklm-py) (unofficial SDK).

## Quick Start (Step by Step)

### Step 1: Install

```bash
# Clone or navigate to the project
cd notebooklm-mcp

# Option A: using uv (recommended)
uv venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && uv pip install -e .

# Option B: using pip
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install -e .
```

### Step 2: Authenticate with Google NotebookLM

```bash
notebooklm-auth
```

This will show:
```

╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Open this URL in your browser and log in:
