A Model Context Protocol server for Zotero integration that allows Claude to interact with your Zotero library.

Zotero MCP server

Setup

  1. Get your Zotero credentials:

    # First, create an API key at https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys
    # Then use it to get your user ID:
    curl -H "Zotero-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" https://api.zotero.org/keys/current
    

    The response will look like:

    {
      "userID": 123456,
      "username": "your_username",
      "access": {
        "user": {
          "library": true,
          "files": true,
          "notes": true,
          "write": true
        }
      }
    }
    

    The userID value is what you need.

  2. Set environment variables:

    export ZOTERO_API_KEY="your-api-key"
    export ZOTERO_USER_ID="user-id-from-curl"
    
  3. Verify your credentials:

    # Test that your credentials work:
    curl -H "Zotero-API-Key: $ZOTERO_API_KEY" \
         "https://api.zotero.org/users/$ZOTERO_USER_ID/collections"
    

    You should see your collections list in the response.

  4. Install and run:

    # Install globally (recommended)
    npm install -g mcp-zotero
    mcp-zotero
    
    # Or run directly with npx
    npx mcp-zotero
