Overview

This server provides an interface to NotebookLM, supporting both a 33-endpoint REST API and an MCP implementation. Users can perform citation-backed Q&A, generate content types including audio, video, infographics, and reports, and manage multi-account rotations with automated re-authentication. It is built to facilitate complex automation workflows across personal and Google Workspace accounts. The tool utilizes a namespaced tool structure within the MCP framework, offering features like session management and source extraction for integration with tools like Claude Code and Cursor.

Our verdict

This project holds a high risk security score of 45/100, primarily because it is a community-maintained repository that has not yet undergone editorial review or security auditing regarding OAuth and authentication methods. Due to these unverified security protocols, it is recommended for use in controlled, non-sensitive environments only.
