refresh_auth
Manually trigger a session refresh if you encounter connection issues.
How to use it
Project documentation lists refresh_auth for the Notebooklm MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
