How to Set Up and Use Anything to NotebookLM
Anything-to-NotebookLM is a Claude Code skill and MCP server that automates converting diverse content sources — including WeChat articles, YouTube videos, web pages, PDFs, EPUBs, podcasts, and audio files — into AI-generated outputs through Google NotebookLM, such as podcasts, PowerPoint decks, mind maps, quizzes, and flashcards. It supports 15+ input formats with built-in paywall bypass strategies and integrates optional APIs for audio transcription (GETNOTE_API_KEY) and deep analysis workflows. Researchers, students, and knowledge workers use it to transform raw content into structured, reusable learning materials without manual copy-pasting.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+ and Git
- Google NotebookLM account (for authentication via 'notebooklm login')
- Claude Code installed (the skill integrates directly into Claude Code)
- Optional: GETNOTE_API_KEY and GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID for podcast transcription
- macOS or Linux (Windows not explicitly supported)
Clone the skill into your Claude skills directory
Clone the repository into the ~/.claude/skills/ directory so Claude Code can discover and use it as a skill.
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/
cd ~/.claude/skills/
git clone https://github.com/joeseesun/qiaomu-anything-to-notebooklm
cd qiaomu-anything-to-notebooklmRun the automated installer
The install.sh script sets up the Python virtual environment, installs dependencies, and configures the MCP server registration for Claude Code.
chmod +x install.sh
./install.shAuthenticate with NotebookLM
Log in to NotebookLM using the bundled CLI tool. This is a one-time step that stores credentials locally. Verify the login succeeded by listing your notebooks.
notebooklm login
notebooklm listConfigure optional transcription API keys
If you want to transcribe audio from podcasts (Xiaoyuzhoufm, Ximalaya, Bilibili) or audio files, export the Get笔记 API credentials. These are optional — text and PDF sources work without them.
export GETNOTE_API_KEY="your_api_key"
export GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"Verify the environment
Run the diagnostic check script which performs 13 validation checks covering Python version, dependencies, API keys, and NotebookLM authentication.
python ./check_env.pyRestart Claude Code
After installation, restart Claude Code to load the skill and MCP server configuration. The skill is now available as a slash command.
# Restart Claude Code, then test with:
# /qiaomu-anything-to-notebooklmAnything to NotebookLM Examples

notebooklm login fails or authentication expires
NotebookLM uses browser-based OAuth. Ensure you have a compatible browser installed and run 'notebooklm login' again to refresh the session. If the browser window doesn't open automatically, copy the URL printed in the terminal and paste it manually.
install.sh fails with Python version or dependency errors
Ensure Python 3.9+ is installed and active. Run 'python3 --version' to verify. If using pyenv or conda, activate the correct environment before running install.sh. Check the error log and install any missing system packages listed.
Audio transcription returns empty results
Verify GETNOTE_API_KEY and GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID are correctly set by running './check_env.py'. These keys are obtained from the Get笔记 (getnote.ai) service. Without valid keys, audio sources such as Xiaoyuzhoufm podcasts cannot be transcribed.
