Notes
- nlm and notebooklm-mcp come from the same package: notebooklm-mcp-cli.
- Prefer nlm login before notebook commands; auth depends on browser cookies.
- Free-tier NotebookLM has rate limits; batch work when possible.
- After changing MCP setup, restart the target app or reconnect the MCP server.
- If uv tool upgrade does not move to the latest version, use uv tool install --force notebooklm-mcp-cli.
- If the user wants OpenClaw-managed browser auth, use nlm login --provider openclaw --cdp-url http://127.0.0.1:18800.
