Integrates with Zotero to enable searching libraries, retrieving metadata, and accessing full-text content for scholarly research workflows.
  1. Log in to your Zotero account

    • Go to Zotero Login and log in with your Zotero credentials.
  2. Navigate to API Keys in Account Settings

  3. Create a New API Key

    • Click “Create new private key.”
    • Configure the permissions as required (read, write, etc.) for the server usage.
    • Optionally, give the key a description for identification.
  4. Copy the API Key

    • After creation, your new API key will be displayed. Copy this key—this is your ZOTERO_API_KEY.
    • Store it safely; you won’t be able to access it again!
  5. Find Your Zotero Library ID

    • Still on the API Keys page, look for your “UserID” in the upper right of the page under “Your Libraries.”
    • This number is your ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID.
    • If accessing a group library, use the corresponding Group ID (found under the group's settings page).
  6. (Optional) Specify the Library Type

    • By default, ZOTERO_LIBRARY_TYPE is user. If you are accessing a group library, set ZOTERO_LIBRARY_TYPE to group.
  7. Fill in the FastMCP connection interface

    • Use your Install Now button and, when prompted, fill in the following fields as described:
      • ZOTERO_API_KEY: Paste the API key you generated.
      • ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID: Enter your User ID or Group ID.
      • ZOTERO_LIBRARY_TYPE (optional): Enter either user (default) or group as appropriate.

Your Zotero MCP server will now be able to connect to your Zotero library using these values!
