No install snippet on purpose. A working MCP config is a command, its arguments and an environment block — the last two are where API keys live, so this catalogue never stores them and cannot publish them. Follow the link above for the authors' own instructions.
Zoteus is a Zotero MCP server that allows users to search their Zotero library and retrieve passages with page references. It works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Zed, and Gemini CLI. The software is available under an MIT license for free local install, with optional hosted plans starting at €7/month.
Zoteus can add items to the library by DOI, arXiv ID, ISBN, PMID, or URL. It can preview metadata edits and undo trash operations, but arbitrary metadata changes do not have automatic undo. The self-hosted version is free and MIT-licensed, with every feature permanently available.
