Is there an MCP server for NotebookLM?

Google does not publish an official NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) MCP server or a public write API. Community MCP servers exist, but they drive the web interface through browser automation rather than a supported endpoint, so they break whenever the UI changes.

In more detail

Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets an AI client call external tools through a standard interface, and a Gemini Notebook MCP server is a frequent request — it would let Claude or another assistant add sources and query notebooks directly. As of August 2026 Google offers no official MCP server and no documented public API for creating notebooks or adding sources, so anything you find in the wild is unofficial. Those community servers work by automating the web UI, which means they need a signed-in browser session and stop working when Google ships a UI change. If you want a durable pipeline today, collect sources in a tool that owns its own storage and export from there: Gemini Notebook Toolkit keeps a portable text library you can export as Markdown, JSON, LaTeX, or plain text, and imports URLs into a notebook through the extension. Watch Google's official developer channels for a supported API before building anything you depend on.
