Zotero
Integrates AI assistants with Zotero, enabling intelligent interaction with local reference libraries through the Model Context Protocol.
About
Zotero MCP bridges the gap between powerful AI capabilities and your Zotero reference management system. It comprises a Zotero plugin that exposes an HTTP API for accessing your local Zotero library, and an MCP server that acts as a protocol adapter, translating AI assistant requests into calls to the Zotero plugin. This setup empowers AI assistants like Claude to intelligently search, retrieve, and filter Zotero references, facilitating academic tasks such as literature reviews, citation management, and research assistance directly from your AI client.
