Overview
notebooklm-py is an unofficial, open-source connector for Google's Gemini Notebook, formerly NotebookLM; it is not made by Google. Once you sign in with your Google account, your agent can create notebooks, add web pages, PDFs or YouTube videos as sources, ask questions with cited answers, and generate audio overviews, slide decks, quizzes, flashcards and mind maps, then download them as files. It also works as a command-line tool and an agent skill. It suits students, researchers and writers who already use NotebookLM.
It can download quizzes, flashcards and mind maps as files in bulk, something the NotebookLM web app itself does not offer.

Limits
- It relies on undocumented Google endpoints, so features can stop working when Google changes them, and heavy use may be throttled.
- Sign-in saves your Google session on your computer and the connector acts with your account. The MCP server is marked experimental, so tool names can change between releases.
