dsh-gemini-notebook-mcp: A DSH plugin that brings Gemini Notebook into DeepSeek Harness

What Does It Do?

It is a DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness that connects the Gemini Notebook (formerly Google NotebookLM) MCP server to the DSH agent, exposing notebooks, sources, grounded Q&A and content generation as agent tools. It solves the problem of having to click through the NotebookLM web UI by hand, letting the agent create notebooks, add sources, ask questions and produce outputs on its own. The bundle contains configuration only and no code of its own: it uses the harness's built-in MCP client to launch the NotebookLM server over stdio, surfacing 53 tools under a shared prefix inside DSH.

Core Features

• Notebook management: list, create, rename, describe and delete Gemini Notebook notebooks.
• Source ingestion: add URLs, YouTube videos, pasted text, Google Drive docs and local files such as PDF, DOCX, audio and images, read raw source text and sync stale Drive sources.
• Grounded Q&A: answer only from your sources with citations, query across several notebooks, and keep chats in the NotebookLM web history.
• Research: fast or deep web research plus Google Drive search, with import of the sources it finds.
• Studio generation: produce Audio Overviews (podcasts), video overviews, slide decks, infographics, reports, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, data tables and interactive reports, then download them.
• Organization and sharing: notes, source labels, collections, tags, aliases, batch operations and multi-step pipelines, plus public links, collaborator invites, multiple Google profiles and quota checks.

How to Use This Plugin?

After enabling the plugin in DSH, just describe the task in natural language, for example asking it to create a notebook about quantum computing, add three URLs and generate a podcast; the agent then calls the matching tools step by step. Before that, you need a Google account with access to Gemini Notebook and must install and sign in to the NotebookLM MCP server, which provides both a CLI and the server process, and verify the login with its check command. The bundle can be installed from the plugin marketplace or the Plugins page, or by asking an agent that has plugin management capability; to edit the configuration first, clone the repository and install from the local path. It was tested on macOS with DSH Desktop 0.2.1 and a matching server version, is maintained by EdgarsKalnins and is released under the MIT license.

How to Troubleshoot This Plugin?

When tool calls fail, first confirm the NotebookLM server is signed in and its authentication check passes, since an expired login makes every tool unavailable. If no tools appear in DSH, check that the active profile includes plugin management and that the server is installed on an executable path. If source syncing errors out, run a sync on the stale Drive sources and retry.
