Install zotero-library MCP

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Add the zotero-library MCP server to Claude Code. Run this command:
    
    claude mcp add zotero-library -e ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID=<ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID> -e ZOTERO_API_KEY=<ZOTERO_API_KEY> -- uvx zotero-library-mcp
    
    Ask me for ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID, ZOTERO_API_KEY and only put the values in that config, nowhere else.
    
    Then check that it loaded and tell me if I need to sign in or restart.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires uv (Python).

Built from the package data we hold. Not yet tested by us.
