v0.4.3 — Linux support

First-class Linux (Ubuntu) support

Chrome / Chromium / Brave / Edge / Firefox work on Linux — the connector reads the cookie key from GNOME Keyring / KWallet, or the keyring-free “basic” store on headless boxes. Platform-aware browser detection + a Linux section in the README.

Install: download NotebookLM-Connector.mcpb (Claude Desktop) or uvx --python 3.12 notebooklm-connector (Cursor/Codex/Linux).

v0.4.2 — Thorough-mode toggle in settings

New: a Thorough answers toggle in the connector settings (Claude Desktop)

Open the NotebookLM connector's settings and you'll now see:

• Thorough answers (auto-coverage) — flip on to make every answer thorough (auto-asks follow-ups to fill gaps, returns one merged cited answer). Off by default.
• Max follow-up questions — how deep thorough mode digs (1–5, default 3).

No toggle? You can still trigger it per question anytime by saying “give me a thorough answer.”

Install: download NotebookLM-Connector.mcpb below → double-click → Install → open its settings to see the toggle.
Cursor/Codex/etc. set NOTEBOOKLM_THOROUGH=1 and NOTEBOOKLM_MAX_FOLLOWUPS=3 in the server's env.

v0.4.1 — Comet support + everywhere

Now on PyPI too, so every client gets these:

• Comet (Perplexity's browser) support — “connect using Comet.”
• Thorough mode (auto-coverage answers) — “give me a thorough answer.”
• Smarter login — when a browser has no session, it suggests which browsers you have installed.
• Security & Privacy section in the README (what it accesses, nothing leaves your machine, how to revoke).

Install (Claude Desktop): download NotebookLM-Connector.mcpb below → double-click → Install.
Other apps: uvx --python 3.12 notebooklm-connector — see the README.

v0.4.0 — Comet browser support

New: Comet (Perplexity's browser) support

You can now connect using Comet — “connect using Comet.” The connector reads and decrypts Comet's cookie store directly (rookiepy doesn't support it), so no need to switch to Chrome.

Also in 0.3.0–0.4.0: thorough mode (auto-coverage answers), and the uvx --python 3.12 install fix for Cursor/Codex.

Install (Claude Desktop): download NotebookLM-Connector.mcpb below → double-click → Install.
Other apps: uvx --python 3.12 notebooklm-connector — see the README.

v0.3.0 — Thorough mode (auto-coverage)

New: Thorough mode (auto-coverage)

Ask for a thorough answer and the connector now auto-fills gaps: after the first answer it asks NotebookLM what wasn't fully covered, automatically asks those follow-ups, and returns one merged, fully-cited answer.

• Off by default (uses extra daily quota). Turn on per question (“give me a thorough answer”) or always-on via NOTEBOOKLM_THOROUGH=1.
• Depth via NOTEBOOKLM_MAX_FOLLOWUPS (default 3).

Install (Claude Desktop): download NotebookLM-Connector.mcpb below → double-click → Install.
Other apps: uvx notebooklm-connector — see the README.

v0.2.0 — NotebookLM Connector

One-click Claude Desktop extension connecting Google NotebookLM to Claude.

Install (Claude Desktop)

1. Download notebooklm-connector.mcpb below
2. Double-click it → Install
3. In a chat: "Connect my NotebookLM" → pick your Google account
4. "List my notebooks" — done

Requires Python 3.12 on the machine. No password is ever typed — the connector reads your existing Google session from your browser.

What's inside

13 tools: grounded Q&A with citations, notebook/source management, and Studio generation (audio overviews, reports, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, slide decks, infographics) with download.
