# Model Context Protocol server for Zotero
This project is a python-based server that implements the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) for [Zotero](https://www.zotero.org/).
## Features
This MCP server provides the following tools:
- `zotero_search_items`: Search for items in your Zotero library using a text query
- `zotero_item_metadata`: Get detailed information about a specific Zotero item
- `zotero_item_fulltext`: Get the full text of a specific Zotero item
These can be discovered and accessed through the [MCP Inspector](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/inspector) or any other [MCP client](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients).
Each tool returns formatted text containing relevant information from your Zotero items.
## Installation
To use this with Claude Desktop, add the following to the `mcpServers` configuration:
```json
"zotero": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["zotero-mcp"],
"env": {
"ZOTERO_LOCAL": "true"
}
}
```
The following environment variables are supported:
- `ZOTERO_LOCAL=true`: Use the local Zotero API (default: false)
- `ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID`: Your Zotero library ID (not required for the local API)
- `ZOTERO_LIBRARY_TYPE`: The type of library (user or group, default: user)
- `ZOTERO_API_KEY`: Your Zotero API key (not required for the local API)
You can find your library ID and create an API key in your Zotero account settings: https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys
The [local Zotero API](https://groups.google.com/g/zotero-dev/c/ElvHhIFAXrY/m/fA7SKKwsAgAJ) can be used with Zotero 7 running on the same machine.
> n.b. An upcoming Zotero release is needed to support the fulltext API locally: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/pull/5004
## Development
1. Clone this repository
1. Install dependencies with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) by running: `uv sync`
1. Create a `.env` file in the project root with the environment variables above
Start the [MCP Inspector](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/inspector) for local development:
```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run zotero-mcp
```
### Running Tests
To run the test suite:
```bash
uv run pytest
```
