jacob-bd/notebooklm-mcp-cli v0.8.0 on GitHub

Added

Short Video Overview format — video_format="short" (CLI: nlm video create <id> --format short) generates NotebookLM's new ~60-second, vertical "bite-sized overview" video format, announced by Google on 2026-06-30. Like Cinematic, Short has no visual style picker (--style/--style-prompt map into --focus) and is currently English-only, 18+, and rolling out gradually to Pro/Ultra accounts. The request payload was verified via a live network capture against a production NotebookLM account.
Studio artifact source provenance (PR #240) — studio_status and nlm studio status --json --full now include each artifact's source_ids, allowing callers to trace generated podcasts, videos, reports, slide decks, infographics, quizzes, flashcards, and data tables back to their source documents. The parser handles the nested source-ID shapes returned by current NotebookLM responses. Thanks to @tonhuu96 for identifying the missing capability and contributing the end-to-end implementation!

Actionable file-source upload errors — File upload failures now preserve the concrete reason and received path instead of returning only Could not add file source. The hint clarifies that paths must be accessible on the machine running nlm or the MCP server, which makes different-host and remote MCP failures diagnosable.

Closed-loop "Refactor with NotebookLM" workflow (#239) — Added a reference workflow and a corresponding skill trigger for iteratively refactoring documents using NotebookLM as the editing loop.
Regional audio accent locales — Documented the observed BCP-47 region behavior for Audio Overviews: es/es-ES selects Spain Spanish, while es-US/es-419 selects Latin-American Spanish. The same regional locale can be supplied through NOTEBOOKLM_HL.
Packaged skill capability audit — Brought the installable NotebookLM skill and references in sync with the current 39-tool MCP surface and CLI. Updated authentication semantics, async query tools, research auto-import and 15-minute polling, labels, bulk source and sharing operations, artifact source provenance, server-local file paths, remote MCP security, RPC drift recovery, current command syntax, pipeline/batch examples, and consolidated tool contracts.
