Zotero MCP integrates AI assistants with Zotero reference management through the Model Context Protocol by providing a plugin with an embedded MCP server that enables searching, extracting content and annotations from PDFs, browsing collections, performing semantic searches, and managing library metadata. The server allows AI applications like Claude to interact directly with local Zotero libraries for literature reviews, citation management, content analysis, and knowledge base organization through tools for multi-dimensional search, full-text extraction, annotation analysis, and write operations.
