NotebookLM Ops
Automate operations for NotebookLM MCP in environments where Google session cookies become invalid quickly.
This skill solves repeated manual auth refresh by automating:
Run commands from /home/moltuser/clawd.
Requirements / dependencies
--remote-debugging-port=9222)./home/moltuser/clawd/scripts/notebooklm-remote-gui.sh
- /home/moltuser/clawd/scripts/refresh-google-mcp-cookies.sh
- /home/moltuser/clawd/scripts/notebooklm-on.sh
- /home/moltuser/clawd/scripts/notebooklm-off.sh
mcporter (notebooklm-mcp).One-time login
A one-time manual login in Chromium to Google/NotebookLM is required. After that, this skill keeps refresh automated by reusing the same browser profile/session.
Turn NotebookLM ON
Execute:
/home/moltuser/clawd/skills/notebooklm-ops/scripts/notebooklm-on.sh
Required sequence:
1. Start GUI/CDP stack (Xvfb + openbox + x11vnc + Chromium).
2. Navigate the current tab to https://notebooklm.google.com/.
3. Wait for load.
4. Refresh NotebookLM auth via CDP.
5. Reload NotebookLM MCP auth and run sanity check (notebooklm-list).
Turn NotebookLM OFF
Execute:
/home/moltuser/clawd/skills/notebooklm-ops/scripts/notebooklm-off.sh
Stop Chromium and related GUI processes (x11vnc/Xvfb/openbox), then clean leftovers.
Check status
Execute:
/home/moltuser/clawd/skills/notebooklm-ops/scripts/notebooklm-status.sh
Smoke test
Execute:
/home/moltuser/clawd/skills/notebooklm-ops/scripts/notebooklm-smoke.sh
Expected result: notebook list returns "status": "success".
Failure handling
If auth refresh fails:
1. Re-run NotebookLM ON once.
2. If still failing, ask user to log in at https://notebooklm.google.com/ in the same Chromium profile via VNC.
3. Re-run NotebookLM ON and smoke test.
