Agent prompt

1. Read official install docs: https://github.com/Pantheon-Security/notebooklm-mcp-secure
2. Merge this JSON into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

    "notebooklm": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pan-sec/notebooklm-mcp@latest"

   - NLMCP_AUTH_TOKEN (required): See repository README.

4. Restart Cursor if needed, then run a smoke test (list tools or one safe call). Confirm with the user before writing secrets.
