What is the Notebooklm MCP MCP server?

If you already use Notebooklm MCP, the notebooklm mcp mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. MCP server for NotebookLM API with HTTP REST API - Zero hallucinations from your notebooks.

What the server does

That registers the MCP server, runs npx -y @roomi-fields/notebooklm-mcp@<pinned-version> automatically (Node ≥ 18 required), and lets you upgrade with two commands when a new release ships: /plugin marketplace update roomi-fields then /reload-plugins. Then run npm run setup-auth once to log into Google. To install RTFM at the same time: /plugin install rtfm@roomi-fields.

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @roomi-fields/notebooklm-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Where it fits

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by roomi-fields; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
