NotebookLM for AI agents

NotebookLM Enterprise is Google's licensed, source-grounded notebook service for organizing sources and generating audio and text summaries in global-location deployments. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

What agents do in NotebookLM.

01

Add a source to a notebook

Add a document or text source to a notebook so it becomes part of its grounded context.

02

Check a notebook's sources

Look up which sources are already in a notebook before adding new ones, read-only.

03

Approve before deleting a notebook

Require approval before deleting a notebook, since it removes every source and summary in it.

02 · ACTIONS

11 NotebookLM actions, graded by risk.

Every NotebookLM action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How NotebookLM connects.

Users sign in to NotebookLM on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s NotebookLM OAuth app, or bring your own so the NotebookLM consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same NotebookLM connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

NotebookLM and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use NotebookLM with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect NotebookLM to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the NotebookLM actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect NotebookLM?

Users sign in to NotebookLM on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s NotebookLM OAuth app, or bring your own so the NotebookLM consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

Q03

Which NotebookLM actions can my agent take?

11 in total: 3 read, 5 write and 3 destructive, such as “create Notebook”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in NotebookLM?

Yes. Actions like “delete Sources” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call NotebookLM too?

Yes. The same NotebookLM connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
