pyzotero

SUMMARY

What it does

This skill enables programmatic interaction with Zotero libraries via the pyzotero Python client (version 1.13.0) and the Zotero Web API v3. It supports retrieving, creating, updating, and deleting items, collections, tags, and attachments; searching library contents; exporting citations in formats like BibTeX and CSL-JSON; and managing full-text content. The skill also provides optional CLI and MCP server capabilities for local Zotero 7 instances, enabling read-only access without an API key. Authentication requires a Zotero API key and library ID, typically provided via environment variables. The skill includes reference documentation for authentication, read/write operations, collections, tags, attachments, exports, pagination, full-text search, saved searches, CLI, MCP, and error handling. It is designed for research automation workflows that integrate with Zotero.
