Gemini Notebook MCP Server

This is a patched and fully functional version of the original notebooklm-mcp-server. It has been updated to reflect Google's recent rebranding and URL changes from NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook (notebook.google.com).

Enhancements in this Fork

1. URL Update: Full support for notebook.google.com (previous versions pointed to the deprecated notebooklm.google.com which caused auth loops and expired sessions).

2. UTF-8 Support: Fixed the 'ascii' codec can't encode characters bug when retrieving notebooks with Spanish titles, emojis, or special characters.

3. Robust Cookie Extraction: Added dependencies and logic improvements for Chromium cookie extraction on Windows (using pycryptodome for AES-GCM and DPAPI).

Installation

uv pip install -U git+https://github.com/USER/gemini-notebook-mcp.git

(Replace USER with your github username)

Usage

1. Authenticate with your Chrome session:

gemini-notebook-mcp-auth

2. Add to your MCP client (Claude, Antigravity, Cursor, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gemini-notebook": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-X", "utf8", "-m", "notebooklm_mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONUTF8": "1",
        "PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf-8"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: We highly recommend using python -X utf8 -m notebooklm_mcp as the command to force UTF-8 at the interpreter level, avoiding encoding crashes.
