**Zotero MCP** seamlessly connects your [Zotero](https://www.zotero.org/) research library with [ChatGPT](https://openai.com), [Claude](https://www.anthropic.com/claude), and other AI assistants (e.g., [Cherry Studio](https://cherry-ai.com/), [Chorus](https://chorus.sh), [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com/)) via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction). Review papers, get summaries, analyze citations, extract PDF annotations, and more!

- Create and manage collections, update item metadata, batch-update tags
- Find and merge duplicate items with dry-run preview
- **Hybrid mode**: local reads + web API writes for local-mode users
### 📊 Scite Citation Intelligence (optional `[scite]` extra)
