Common questions

Is Notebooklm MCP Secure safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2026.5.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

🚀 What's New in 2026

Latest: v2026.3.1 — All 334 audit issues resolved. 631 tests. Full MCP protocol compliance.

Version	Highlights
v2026.3.1	Security Audit Complete — All 334 issues from the independent audit resolved. Tests: 609 → 631. Code quality: URL resolution deduplicated, handler extraction, non-null assertions eliminated. Test gaps closed: `validateNotebookId`, error body shape, `delete_document` confirm guard, sanitized throws, log rotation, rate-limiter memory bound, range clamping.
v2026.3.0	The Security Audit Release — Four parallel AI code reviews (security, protocol, architecture, testing) against 334 issues. All highs and mediums resolved. Tests: 139 → 609 across 50 files (4.4×). Full MCP protocol compliance: structuredContent, isError, transport tags. Schema bounds on all 48 tools. Annotation correctness. Webhook SSRF fix. Audit log integrity (hash chain, concurrent write lock, rotation continuity). Per-page mutex. HandlerContext DI. Cert pinning retracted (claims aligned with implementation).
v2026.2.10	The Hardening Release — 3 new security layers (14→17): secure-by-default auth, exponential backoff lockout, credential isolation. Architecture overhaul: 3,611-line handler split into 9 domain modules, tool registry pattern. Gemini API retry with backoff. Multi-stage Docker build. Token CLI (`token show/rotate`). 168 tests.
v2026.2.9	`performSetup` no longer wipes credentials before Chrome opens — prevents auth destruction on failed launch
v2026.2.8	`cleanup_data` never deletes auth dirs (`browser_state/`, `chrome_profile/`) — auth survives all cleanup paths
v2026.2.7	Block headless `setup_auth` calls; robust `auth-now.mjs` standalone script with Chrome profile lock handling
v2026.2.6	New `add_folder` tool for bulk PDF/file uploads; improved tier detection for NotebookLM Plus
v2026.2.5	Fix `show_browser` silently ignored in `setup_auth` — browser now reliably opens for auth
v2026.2.4	Auth stability: 7-day state expiry, `touchStateFile` on validation, block headless `re_auth`
v2026.2.3	Studio Panel tools restored: Video Overview, Data Table generation re-enabled
v2026.2.1	Standard profile expanded: 14 → 33 tools — notebook creation, audio, source management now visible by default
v2026.2.0	Gemini 3 models (2.5 retiring March 31), Video Overviews, Data Tables, thinking level, structured JSON, SDK 1.41
v2026.1.12	Security hardening: constant-time auth, command injection fix, memory leak fixes, MCP SDK 1.26.0
v2026.1.11	Notebook sync extraction for new Angular UI, `NOTEBOOKLM_NO_GEMINI` env var
v2026.1.10	Tool description clarity for multi-LLM compatibility
v2026.1.9	Documentation & UX improvements, npm audit fix
v2026.1.8	Major dependency updates (zod 4.x, dotenv 17.x, post-quantum 0.5.4)
v2026.1.7	MCP Protocol UX: tool icons, human-friendly titles, behavior annotations
v2026.1.4	Defense-in-depth path validation, security hardening
v2026.1.1	Deep health checks, chat history extraction, context management

🔬 Security Audit 2026 — What We Found and Fixed

In April 2026, we commissioned a parallel deep-audit of v2026.2.11 (main @ 2973097) using four specialised AI code reviewers, each focused on a different attack surface: security vulnerabilities, protocol correctness, architecture quality, and testing gaps and edge cases. The four reviewers operated independently so their findings wouldn't influence each other. Together they produced a 334-item master issue list covering protocol correctness, security vulnerabilities, architecture flaws, test gaps, and documentation accuracy. All 334 issues are resolved across v2026.3.0 and v2026.3.1.

Audit by the Numbers

Metric	Before (v2026.2.11)	After (v2026.3.1)
Tests	139	631 across 50 files
Test suites	~6	50
TypeScript errors (`tsc --noEmit`)	0	0 (maintained)
npm audit vulnerabilities	0	0 (maintained)
MCP protocol compliance	Partial	Full (structuredContent, isError, transport tags)
Audit log integrity	Basic	Hash-chain verified on read
Concurrent write safety	❌	✅ Write-locked
Webhook SSRF	❌	✅ Blocked

What the Four Reviewers Found

Security reviewer: Identified the forceAuth bypass in validateToken() allowing unauthenticated access to filesystem tools; webhook SSRF via unvalidated delivery targets; audit log hash chain not verified on read; concurrent audit writes interleaving entries; auth token salt not persisted (tokens invalidated on restart).

Protocol reviewer: Found 38 tools returning incorrect response shapes (missing structuredContent, wrong isError semantics, transport tags leaking into content); all 48 tools had incorrect or missing readOnlyHint/idempotentHint/destructiveHint annotations; 9 tool schemas lacked numeric bounds, enabling out-of-range inputs.

Architecture reviewer: Flagged the 3,611-line handlers.ts as a maintenance liability; singleton imports throughout domain functions preventing unit testing; the 500-line switch/case dispatch adding O(n) overhead and making tool registration error-prone.

Testing & edge-case reviewer: Found test suite at 139 tests with minimal coverage of security-critical modules; mcp-auth.ts at near-zero coverage; no tests for prompt injection patterns, audit log tampering, or concurrent browser session state; the DSAR handler had an undetected race condition.

Key Fixes

17 security vulnerabilities addressed (auth bypass, SSRF, audit integrity, race conditions, selector injection vectors)
MCP protocol fully compliant — all 48 tools return correct structuredContent/isError shapes; annotations accurate; schema bounds enforced
Architecture decomposed — handlers.ts split into 9 domain modules with HandlerContext dependency injection; 100% unit-testable without process mocks
Test coverage — 15 new security-critical test suites including browser session, auth, prompt injection, audit log, webhook, DSAR, and compliance
Claims aligned — certificate pinning removed (implementation was retracted in Day 1 of the audit); PQ encryption scope documented accurately; compliance language uses "controls implemented" not "certified"
