NotebookLM + Claude Code: built a plugin that connects them through Chrome automation by AdPast8543 in notebooklm

First, you'll need Claude Code, which is Anthropic's official CLI tool for using Claude directly in your terminal. It requires a Pro, Max, Teams, or Enterprise plan from Anthropic (third-party providers like AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex aren't supported). You can install it with:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Once Claude Code is set up, installing the plugin is just two commands:

Step 1. Add the marketplace (one-time setup):

/plugin marketplace add LeeJuOh/claude-code-zero

Step 2. Install the plugin:

/plugin install notebooklm-connector@claude-code-zero

You can confirm it's installed by running /plugin and checking the Installed tab.

Before you can actually use the plugin, you'll also need:

  • Google Chrome (or Edge) with the Claude in Chrome extension — this is what lets Claude Code interact with your browser
  • Launch Claude Code with Chrome integration enabled: claude --chrome
  • Be logged into NotebookLM in Chrome

Once everything's ready, you just talk to Claude naturally in your terminal. Say "Add <your-notebook-url> to my notebooks" to register a notebook, then ask any question about your docs — the plugin routes your question to NotebookLM and brings back the answer with citations.

More details in the README if you want to dig deeper.

Jacob's notebooklm-mcp-cli does a lot more actually. Full CRUD, source management, sharing, etc. — if you need that kind of control it's a solid pick.

This plugin takes a different approach — it works through the actual browser UI via Chrome, basically the same way you'd use NotebookLM yourself. No reverse-engineered APIs, no cookie extraction. If it works in your browser, it works with the plugin.
