Zotero MCP connects users' Zotero research libraries to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT through the Model Context Protocol, enabling semantic search, metadata retrieval, PDF annotation extraction, and library management tasks. The server provides vector-based similarity search across research collections, full-text content access, citation analysis, and write operations including adding papers by DOI or URL with automatic metadata fetching. It solves the problem of integrating personal research libraries with AI assistants for efficient paper discovery, analysis, and knowledge synthesis.
