Only 8 NotebookLM bridge projects are verifiably distinct and dedicated — stars collapse from 19,618 to 181 across them

Asked (summary):

Find the top 20 GitHub repos (by stars) dedicated to integrating NotebookLM / Gemini Notebook with other LLM tools (Claude, Codex, local LLMs). For each: a 5-bullet feature brief with stars and latest update, and how to integrate it with LLM tools on Windows 11.

Verified shortlist: applying the strict rule — the repository itself must be dedicated to operating NotebookLM, with aliases and former names merged and umbrella skill catalogs excluded — the collected 30-repo candidate pool substantiates 8 distinct, well-documented qualifying projects, not 20. A further 12 purpose-built long-tail candidates (6–101 stars, each located on a single source) are listed below rather than padded into the ranking. Stars and update dates are snapshots scanned on 2026-10-07.

Operational caveat: Google publishes no official public NotebookLM API for most of these capabilities. Every project here relies on undocumented internal endpoints, browser automation (Playwright / Patchright / Chrome profiles) or cookie extraction — all can break without notice and require periodic re-authentication.

MCP server (± CLI/REST)Agent skill (browser automation)Python SDK / CLI only

MCP is the dominant transport: 5 of the 8 shortlisted projects ship an MCP server; the rest are Claude agent skills or pure Python/CLI — github.com

Aliases inflate the apparent field: “notebooklm-py” (19,100 stars) is teng-lin/notebooklm-py, and jacob-bd/notebooklm-mcp-cli (6,100) plus ownerless “notebooklm-mcp-cli” (5,600) are the gemini-notebook-mcp-cli lineage — github.com

Windows paths split three ways: native pip/winget installs (teng-lin, jacob-bd), JSON config in %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (roomi-fields), and mandatory WSL2 + WSLg where real Chrome automation is required (PleasePrompto/notebooklm-mcp) — trackmcp.com

Maintenance is recent at the top: teng-lin/notebooklm-py was updated on the scan day (2026-10-07); five of eight shortlisted projects updated in Sept–Oct 2026 — skillsupermarket.com

Purpose-built long tail (single-sourced, below the verified bar)

12 further NotebookLM-dedicated candidates from the pool, each located on only one source; details are low-confidence and they are not ranked into the shortlist.

Method: built from a collected dataset of 20 ranked repository rows plus a 30-row purpose-built candidate pool, scanned 2026-10-07 across GitHub and independent ecosystem/documentation hosts. Stars are GitHub star snapshots; “updated” is the latest update/commit/release date stated by the collected pages. Strict inclusion required the repository itself to be dedicated to operating NotebookLM: 9 umbrella skill catalogs / general-purpose repos (e.g. HKUDS/CLI-Anything, sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, alirezarezvani/claude-skills, Mathews-Tom/armory, yonatangross/orchestkit) were excluded, 3 ownerless aliases merged into their parent projects, and cclank/notebooklm-skill treated as a fork of PleasePrompto/notebooklm-skill. Fields absent from the sources are marked “Not documented in the sources reviewed”. Long Windows instructions are reproduced as collected; some were truncated at source.
