What is notebooklm-patterns?

A collection of reusable instructions for connecting Claude Code to Google NotebookLM through notebooklm-mcp. NotebookLM is Google’s document-based research tool, and MCP is a way for an assistant to call external tools.

Use it to authenticate, list or create notebooks, add and manage sources, ask questions, run research, and create NotebookLM media or visual outputs.

It provides the required tool names, authentication steps, and troubleshooting guidance in one place. This reduces guesswork when working with NotebookLM from code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.00047	$0.00785
Opus 5	$0.00023	$0.00392
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00157
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00078

Measured 10d ago against content hash 5bcdfd17684a, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-10, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

notebooklm-patterns 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 10d 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.

If tools are missing, ask the user to run pixi run mcp-install-code and ensure cookies are saved via notebooklm-mcp-auth + save_auth_tokens.

Authentication Workflow

NotebookLM has no public API; authentication is cookie-based:

Run notebooklm-mcp-auth and complete Google login.
Call save_auth_tokens to persist cookies to ~/.notebooklm-mcp/auth.json.
Retry NotebookLM RPC tools.

Core Query Workflow

List notebooks: notebook_list.
Ask a question: notebook_query with notebook_id + question.
For follow-ups, pass session_id from the prior response.

Multi-Notebook Query

notebook_list to get IDs.
Query each notebook via notebook_query with the same question.
Aggregate responses labeled by notebook name/ID and citations.

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.
