Built a Claude Code plugin that turns NotebookLM into a queryable knowledge base from the terminal I’ve been using NotebookLM as my go-to knowledge base — official docs, coding style guides, architecture docs, best practices, you name it. Since Gemini only answers from your uploaded sources, there’s no hallucination. A few weeks ago someone shared a NotebookLM skill on here that let Claude query notebooks directly from the terminal. Loved the idea and started using it daily. But it ran on a headless browser, which was heavy to set up and run. There are also MCP server approaches out there, but those rely on reverse-engineering NotebookLM’s internals. I wanted something simpler — so I built a plugin on top of Claude Code’s built-in Chrome integration. What it does: Register notebooks once, query by name — no more pasting URLs every session Smart Add auto-extracts notebook title and topics from the URL For multi-topic questions, automatically sends follow-up queries if any topic was missed Why this approach: No extra dependencies — just shell scripts and Claude Code’s built-in Chrome integration Reuses your logged-in Google account — no API keys Goes through the official NotebookLM UI — no reverse engineering Zero additional cost — answers come from NotebookLM, not from extra API calls Prerequisites: Anthropic Pro plan or above Claude in Chrome extension (v1.0.36+) Start Claude Code with claude --chrome Install: /plugin marketplace add LeeJuOh/claude-code-zero /plugin install notebooklm-connector@claude-code-zero Limitations: Browser automation, so each query takes ~30-60 seconds.
