## NotebookLM MCP (khengyun)

- By: open-source project
- Link: https://github.com/khengyun/notebooklm-mcp
- Tags: free, open source

Talks to NotebookLM over its internal RPC calls instead of driving a browser, so there's no Chrome process to keep alive. Around 28 tools cover chat and source management, plus source merging across notebooks and mind maps.

## Conversational Bot (Versatile Bot Project)

- By: Shun Tsukamoto
- Link: https://github.com/shun0t/versatile_bot_project/blob/main/conversational_bot.md
- Tags: free

Makes a notebook answer in a friendly, chatty register while still handling analysis and generation requests. Spells out how it weighs your uploaded sources against general knowledge — where the two disagree, your sources win.

## Custom Bot (Versatile Bot Project)

- By: Shun Tsukamoto
- Link: https://github.com/shun0t/versatile_bot_project/blob/main/custom_bot.md
- Tags: free

A harness rather than a persona: it reads whatever system prompt you put in a second source and follows that. Add this document plus your own instructions and the notebook becomes that assistant; add it alone and it asks you for the instructions.

## Listener Bot (Versatile Bot Project)

- By: Shun Tsukamoto
- Link: https://github.com/shun0t/versatile_bot_project/blob/main/listener_bot.md
- Tags: free

Draws a half-formed idea out of you through questions, then turns the finished version into a deliverable — audio, diagram, slides or video. Runs in a default conversational mode until you explicitly ask it to export.

## Chat Episode (Versatile Bot Project)

- By: Shun Tsukamoto
- Link: https://github.com/shun0t/versatile_bot_project/blob/main/chat_episode.md
- Tags: free

For Audio Overviews rather than chat. Restructures the episode so the hosts pause for listener input instead of talking straight through, with rules for switching language mid-episode.
