MCP Zotero is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as a connector, enabling Claude Desktop (an AI agent) to interact with a user’s Zotero cloud-based reference library. It allows users to integrate and manage their Zotero collections and sources through Claude using secure API credentials. This tool is intended for researchers, academics, and anyone who uses Zotero for reference management and wants to access or manipulate their library via Claude-powered AI tools.
