Use when the user wants to configure, authenticate, or use Google NotebookLM via the nlm CLI or MCP.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) — CLI + MCP Google NotebookLM has no official API. The `notebooklm-mcp-cli` package (`nlm` CLI + `notebooklm-mcp` server) is a **third-party, unofficial client** that authenticates by extracting **browser cookies** from a logged-in Google session and caching them. This skill covers the two headless-friendly auth methods and the MCP server wiring. > **Security note**: a `cookies.txt` file or the cached `auth.json` is equivalent to a Google session. The agent must never extract, read, or forward cookie values without the user's explicit consent. | Path | Binary | Transport | When to use | |------|--------|-----------|-------------| | **A. CLI** | `nlm` | shell | Any agent with shell access. Full notebook/source/note/chat/studio management. | | **B. MCP** | `notebooklm-mcp` | stdio (or http/sse) | MCP-native agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Devin, Gemini CLI). Exposes ~30 tools (notebook_create, source_add, chat, audio, report…). | Both paths share the **same cookie cache** at `~/.notebooklm-mcp-cli/profiles/<profile>/auth.json`. ## When to use - `devin mcp list` / `claude mcp list` shows `notebooklm-mcp` **failing to list tools**. …

How to install
mdr add afonsoft/skills/notebooklm-mcp@sha256:45f242fde2b77af8The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
