Zotero Assistant

This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integrates Zotero with Large Language Models, providing a powerful interface for academic research and writing. It allows LLMs to interact with Zotero libraries by searching, browsing collections, adding new items via DOI, importing PDFs with full-text indexing, and even discovering open-access PDFs through Unpaywall. A standout feature is its ability to inject live Zotero citations directly into Word documents, streamlining the creation of cited papers. Designed to be self-documenting, it provides LLMs with all necessary workflow instructions and tool usage guidance directly upon connection, making it accessible for any LLM without external documentation.
