A Zotero plugin with an integrated MCP server that lets AI assistants like Claude access and operate on a local Zotero library via the Model Context Protocol. It supports library search, PDF full-text extraction, annotation analysis, semantic search, and write operations such as notes and metadata updates.
Use cases
- search my zotero library from claude
- let an ai assistant do a literature review from my references
- extract pdf full text and annotations via mcp
- semantic search across my research papers
- have ai create notes and manage tags in zotero
- connect chatgpt or claude to my citation library
When to choose
- you use Zotero 7 and want AI assistants to read or write your library
- you need MCP-based integration with semantic search and annotation analysis
- you want a self-hosted, MIT-licensed bridge between Zotero and LLM clients
When to avoid
- you don't use Zotero for reference management
- you need a cloud-hosted or non-MCP integration
- you use a Zotero version other than 7
