# 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:
- GUI stack startup,
- navigation to NotebookLM,
- auth refresh via CDP,
- MCP sanity checks,
- full cleanup on shutdown.
Run commands from `/home/moltuser/clawd`.
## Requirements / dependencies
- Linux host with Chromium and CDP (`--remote-debugging-port=9222`).
- Virtual display stack: **Xvfb + openbox + x11vnc**.
- Working scripts used by this skill:
- `/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`
- NotebookLM MCP configured in `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:
```bash
/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:
```bash
/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:
```bash
/home/moltuser/clawd/skills/notebooklm-ops/scripts/notebooklm-status.sh
```
## Smoke test
Execute:
```bash
/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.
