Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01810 | $0.01810 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00905 | $0.00905 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00362 | $0.00362 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00181 | $0.00181 |
Grade A, and why
notebooklm-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
95% identical to notebooklm-mcp-archived CLAUDE.md — 11 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 223 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Overview
NotebookLM MCP Server - Provides programmatic access to NotebookLM (notebooklm.google.com) using internal APIs.
Tested with personal/free tier accounts. May work with Google Workspace accounts but has not been tested.
Development Commands
# Install dependencies
uv tool install .
# Reinstall after code changes (ALWAYS clean cache first)
uv cache clean && uv tool install --force .
# Run the MCP server (stdio)
notebooklm-mcp
# Run with Debug logging
notebooklm-mcp --debug
# Run as HTTP server
notebooklm-mcp --transport http --port 8000
# Run tests
uv run pytest
# Run a single test
uv run pytest tests/test_file.py::test_function -v
Python requirement: >=3.11
Authentication (SIMPLIFIED!)
You only need to provide COOKIES! The CSRF token and session ID are now automatically extracted when needed.
Method 1: Chrome DevTools MCP (Recommended)
Option A - Fast (Recommended): Extract CSRF token and session ID directly from network request - no page fetch needed!
# 1. Navigate to NotebookLM page
navigate_page(url="https://notebooklm.google.com/")
# 2. Get a batchexecute request (any NotebookLM API call)
get_network_request(reqid=<any_batchexecute_request>)
# 3. Save with all three fields from the network request:
save_auth_tokens(
cookies=<cookie_header>,
request_body=<request_body>, # Contains CSRF token
request_url=<request_url> # Contains session ID
)
Option B - Minimal (slower first call): Save only cookies, tokens extracted from page on first API call
save_auth_tokens(cookies=<cookie_header>)
Method 2: Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
NOTEBOOKLM_COOKIES |
Yes | Full cookie header from Chrome DevTools |
NOTEBOOKLM_CSRF_TOKEN |
No | (DEPRECATED - auto-extracted) |
NOTEBOOKLM_SESSION_ID |
No | (DEPRECATED - auto-extracted) |
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
