NotebookLM is Google's source-grounded AI notebook service for organizing sources and notes. It helps teams work from trusted material, keeping research clear, structured, and easy to use.

Introduction

Grok is xAI's assistant, and its bot builder lets you create a personal agent that holds context, runs skills, and connects to the apps you already use through plugins.

This guide explains how to connect NotebookLM to a Grok bot using Composio Connect, which handles OAuth, token refresh, and reliability so you do not have to. You add Composio as a plugin, authenticate once, then ask your bot to work with NotebookLM in plain language.

Why use Composio?

Composio exposes 1,500+ apps to your Grok bot through a single connection, so you get:

  • Connect to 1,500+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your context window with unnecessary tool definitions.
  • Use programmatic tool calling through a remote workbench, letting the model write its own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls.
  • Handle large tool responses outside the model context to keep conversations lean.

Connecting NotebookLM to Grok Bot

Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect NotebookLM entirely from its interface, and the whole flow takes under a minute.

Set up Grok Bot

Get access. Grok Bot is included with Cursor Ultra, Cursor Premium Teams, and SuperGrok Heavy. Get the desktop app for macOS or Windows from x.ai/bot and sign in. An iPhone companion app is also available, and your bots sync across devices.

Create a bot. Pick a suggested role or define your own, then give it a short name, one primary job, and a short description of how it should work. Focused bots work best, because a clear role gives the bot more useful context over time.

Connect NotebookLM

1. Add the Composio plugin

Click the button. The Composio listing on x.ai opens and launches Grok Bot for you. If the app does not open on its own, click Add to Grok Bot.

2. Authenticate

Go to the Installed section and click the Composio entry. You'll see its connector and skills listed.

Click Authenticate. You'll be taken to the Composio consent screen. Review the access it requests and click Authorize. Composio handles the OAuth handshake for you, so you never touch API keys or tokens.

3. Connect your NotebookLM account

Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to NotebookLM or give it any NotebookLM task.

For example, ask it to:

  • "Summarize sources in your research notebook"
  • "Create notebook from product launch docs"
  • "List sources in policy analysis notebook"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your NotebookLM account is ready to use.

What is Grok Bot?

Grok is xAI's assistant, available as a chat interface and a bot builder for creating personal agents that run skills and connect to external apps.

With Composio Connect, your Grok bot can securely access apps like NotebookLM through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the NotebookLM MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The NotebookLM MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your NotebookLM account. It provides structured and secure access to your enterprise notebooks and sources, so your agent can create and review notebooks, add source material, manage sharing, generate audio overviews, and remove content on your behalf.

  • Notebook creation and review: Have your agent create new notebooks, retrieve their source details, or list notebooks you viewed recently.
  • Source collection and monitoring: Let the agent add named text, upload plain-text files, and check whether each source was processed successfully.
  • Audio overview generation: Direct your agent to create an audio overview from selected notebook sources or delete one you no longer need.
  • Notebook sharing: Instruct your agent to grant, change, or remove another account's access to a notebook.
  • Notebook and source cleanup: Have your agent permanently remove selected sources or delete notebooks that are no longer needed.

Way Forward

Now that NotebookLM is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your Grok bot can run true cross-app workflows end to end.

  • Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically.
  • Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works.
  • Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs.
  • Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps.

Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single connection, your bot can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone NotebookLM MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of NotebookLM tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from NotebookLM and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Grok Bot fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right NotebookLM tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which NotebookLM scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your NotebookLM data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
