Zotero research reference manager MCP server: add item by DOI, search library, add to collection.
The publisher's own server: Cotlet
Overview
Remote MCP server that lets an assistant work with a Zotero reference library: add items by DOI, search the library and add items to collections.
- What you can do
- Add reference items to a Zotero library by DOI
- Search the Zotero library for existing references
- Add items to a chosen collection
- When to use it
- Useful when you keep research references in Zotero and want an assistant to look up what is already saved, file new papers by DOI, or organize items into collections without switching apps.
- Requirements
- A remote endpoint at cotlet.dev over streamable HTTP; no local package. A Cotlet API key, sent as an Authorization header in the form Bearer followed by the key, obtained from the Cotlet API keys page.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Zotero MCP Server and API by Cotlet in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Use with an agent
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/dev.cotlet%2Fzotero/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.Other MCP clients
Add this to your client's mcpServers config.
