# notebooklm-mcp - Doramagic AI Context Pack > Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated. ## Project - canonical_name: `PleasePrompto/notebooklm-mcp` - capability: MCP server for NotebookLM - Let your AI agents (Claude Code, Codex) research documentation directly with grounded, citation-backed answers from Gemini. Persistent auth, library management, cross-client sharing. Zero hallucinations, just your knowledge base. - expected_user_outcome: MCP server for NotebookLM - Let your AI agents (Claude Code, Codex) research documentation directly with grounded, citation-backed answers from Gemini. Persistent auth, library management, cross-client sharing. Zero hallucinations, just your knowledge base. ## Operating Boundaries - Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it. - Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references. - When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact. - publish_status: `publishable` - blocking_gaps: none --- ## Doramagic Context Augmentation The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints. ## Human Manual Outline Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph. Host AI hard rules: - Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence. - When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal. - Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph. - **Overview & System Architecture**: importance `high` - source_paths: package.json, src/index.ts, src/config.ts, src/types.ts, src/errors.ts - **Installation, Authentication, Transports & Multi-account**: importance `high` - source_paths: src/transport/http.ts, src/auth/auth-manager.ts, src/auth/account-switcher.ts, src/utils/cli-handler.ts, src/utils/cleanup-manager.ts - **Tools, Local Library, Sessions & Citations**: importance `high` - source_paths: src/tools/definitions.ts, src/tools/handlers.ts, src/tools/definitions/ask-question.ts, src/tools/definitions/notebook-management.ts, src/tools/definitions/session-management.ts - **Configuration Reference, Browser Stealth & Common Failure Modes**: importance `high` - source_paths: src/config.ts, src/browser/chromium-fallback.ts, src/browser/watchdog.ts, src/utils/stealth-utils.ts, src/utils/page-utils.ts ## Repo Inspection Evidence - repo_clone_verified: true - repo_inspection_verified: true - repo_commit: `50b3e7f67f8535d9899c5e2b1b68f37d17b72aef` - inspected_files: `README.md`, `package.json`, `docs/configuration.md`, `docs/tools.md`, `docs/troubleshooting.md`, `docs/usage-guide.md`, `src/auth/account-switcher.ts`, `src/auth/auth-manager.ts`, `src/browser/chromium-fallback.ts`, `src/browser/watchdog.ts`, `src/config.ts`, `src/errors.ts`, `src/index.ts`, `src/library/metadata.ts`, `src/library/notebook-library.ts`, `src/library/types.ts`, `src/notebooklm/audio.ts`, `src/notebooklm/chat.ts`, `src/notebooklm/citations.ts`, `src/notebooklm/selectors.ts` Host AI hard rules: - Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read. - Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts. - Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully. ## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes. ### Constraint 1: Configuration risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a configuration risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow. - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/PleasePrompto/notebooklm-mcp/issues/48 - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 2: Security or permission risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a security or permission risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow. - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/PleasePrompto/notebooklm-mcp/issues/49 - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 3: Security or permission risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a security or permission risk.
