oscardvs/zoteus
Zotero MCP server in TypeScript: hybrid keyword and semantic search, PDF passages with page locators, bibliographies in any CSL style (citeproc-js), add by DOI, group libraries, and writes (items, tags, collections, attachments, PDF annotations anchored to the quoted passage). Reads and personal-library writes go to the running Zotero app without a cloud key. npx -y @oscardvs/zoteus, or a one-click .mcpb for Claude Desktop.
