"zotero" matching MCP tools:
- Provide a DOI, OpenAlex ID, URL, or title to resolve a paper and save it to your Zotero library as a journal article with full metadata.MIT
- List all Zotero collections with full nested paths, collection keys, and direct counts of items and subcollections.MIT
- Resolve the Better BibTeX citation key for a Zotero item by key, using the plugin's live data or falling back to the stored citationKey/Extra field.MIT
- List all collections in your Zotero library to retrieve collection names and keys for reference management.MIT
- Replace {{CITE:...}} stubs in a .docx file with live Zotero field codes, fetching item data from Zotero and writing the output. Open in Word and refresh to activate citations.MIT
Matching MCP Servers
- AlicenseAqualityCmaintenanceA Model Context Protocol server for Zotero integration that gives any LLM full access to your Zotero library, including search, organization, DOI-based paper addition, PDF import, full-text reading, and citation injection into Word documents.153633MIT
- AlicenseAqualityCmaintenanceAn MCP server that lets Claude access your Zotero library and insert live, field-based Zotero citations directly into Word documents by writing the underlying OOXML, enabling proper style updates and bibliography management without manual intervention.27MIT
Matching MCP Connectors
Remote MCP server for full read/write access to a Zotero library
The everything Zotero MCP server — Web API v3 + local API, safe writes, citations, search.
- Retrieve all child attachments and notes for a given Zotero parent item key, enabling quick access to related files and annotations.MIT
- Diagnose Zotero connection problems. Run this first to verify setup and fix failures before continuing with other operations.MIT
- Move a Zotero annotation to the Trash for soft deletion and later recovery. Recoverable until the Trash is emptied in the Zotero UI for permanent removal.MIT
- Locate a specific Zotero item by matching an exact or near-exact title or DOI.MIT
- Retrieve detailed metadata for a specific Zotero library item using its unique item key.MIT
- Retrieve details of a Zotero library item using its unique item key.MIT
- Export one or more Zotero items as BibTeX by providing their item keys, using your local Zotero library.MIT
- Retrieve all collections in the active Zotero library as a hierarchical tree with parent and subcollection keys, including optional trashed items—find your complete library structure at a glance.MIT
- Replace <zcite> placeholder tags in a .docx with Zotero field codes, automatically fetching item metadata and appending a bibliography for live, managed citations in Word.MIT
- Add a research paper to your Zotero library by providing its arXiv ID or DOI. Fetches metadata from arXiv or CrossRef, creates the item, downloads the PDF, and optionally assigns to a collection. Requires Zotero desktop running.MIT
- Remove an item from your Zotero library. Default action moves it to trash for recovery; permanent option irreversibly deletes it.MIT
- List all Zotero libraries this server can access—personal, group, and RSS feed—to find the library ID you need before switching.MIT
- Attach a file (PDF, EPUB, DOC, etc.) to an existing Zotero item as an imported child attachment. Provide the item key and a local file path or direct URL; duplicates are skipped automatically.MIT
- Search your Zotero library by text, tag, type, or collection to find references and view details like title, creators, and abstract.MIT
