What is Zotero MCP?

Zotero MCP is a read+write MCP server with full write support for managing a Zotero library from AI assistants. It lets you create items, manage collections, find and merge duplicates, and import BibTeX from within Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible client. The server uses the Zotero Web API and requires a personal API key and user ID.

How to use Zotero MCP?

Install Python 3.11+ and uv, then clone the repo and run uv sync. Configure two environment variables: ZOTERO_API_KEY (get at https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys) and ZOTERO_USER_ID (shown on the same page). Add the server to your MCP client (e.g., Claude Code or Claude Desktop) by specifying the command uv run --directory /path/to/zotero-mcp python -m zotero_mcp and the required environment variables.
