Notes
nlmandnotebooklm-mcpcome from the same package:notebooklm-mcp-cli.- Prefer
nlm loginbefore notebook commands; auth depends on browser cookies. - Free-tier NotebookLM has rate limits; batch work when possible.
- After changing MCP setup, restart the target app or reconnect the MCP server.
- If
uv tool upgradedoes not move to the latest version, useuv tool install --force notebooklm-mcp-cli. - If the user wants OpenClaw-managed browser auth, use
nlm login --provider openclaw --cdp-url http://127.0.0.1:18800.
