NotebookLM MCP server & Claude connector

Does NotebookLM have an official MCP server or Claude connector?

Community only

As of October 2026, no official MCP server or Claude connector for NotebookLM was verified. Google documents an enterprise notebooks API on Google Cloud, now titled Gemini Notebook Enterprise, but no Google-published MCP server. Community servers exist; they drive NotebookLM through your Google login or undocumented endpoints, and the most-starred one is archived.

FAQ

Does NotebookLM have an official MCP server?

No official MCP server verified as of October 2026. Google documents a Gemini Notebook Enterprise (NotebookLM Enterprise) API on Google Cloud, but those docs mention no MCP server.

Is NotebookLM a Claude connector?

No NotebookLM connector page was found in Anthropic's connector directory, so this is unverified.

Are the community NotebookLM MCP servers safe to use?

They automate NotebookLM through your Google login or undocumented endpoints, which can break or conflict with Google's terms. The most-starred one is archived; one active project recommends a dedicated Google account.

Can I use an official API instead?

For enterprise customers, Google Cloud documents an API to create and manage notebooks and sources (Gemini Notebook Enterprise), requiring licences and IAM roles. It is not an MCP server.
