Stdio MCP adapter for Zotero Local MCP Bridge HTTP endpoint.
Stdio MCP adapter for Zotero Local MCP Bridge HTTP endpoint.
Use a Zotero plugin-hosted MCP endpoint to let local agents manage a local Zotero library safely.
Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
The server publishes 13 tools. What each one is for:

Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
