zotero-fulltext is a Claude Code plugin marketplace that connects Zotero libraries via MCP so developers can search papers and read fulltext on demand from AI sessions.
About
zotero-fulltext is a Claude Code marketplace distributing an MCP server that gives Claude and Codex read-only access to a local Zotero 8+ library with on-demand fulltext retrieval. Developers and researchers install it when writing literature reviews, technical specs, or research-backed code and need citekey lookup plus in-document search without uploading PDFs manually. Token usage stays low because fulltext is fetched only on demand with bounded paragraph slices.
- MCP server for Zotero 8+ local API with citekey resolution and on-demand fulltext
- Four slash commands: find, lookup, read, and within for library and in-paper search
- Read-only design with bounded outputs—10 hits, 80 paragraphs, incremental paging
- Also works with Claude Desktop, Codex skills, and standalone uvx zotero-fulltext MCP

How do I let Claude Code search my Zotero library and read paper fulltext without manually pasting PDFs or building a custom MCP integration?
Search your Zotero library and fetch on-demand fulltext paragraphs from papers inside Claude Code or Codex via MCP and slash commands.
Who is it for?
Developers and researchers running Zotero 8+ locally who want low-token library search and citekey-based fulltext access in Claude Code or Codex.
Skip if: Users without Zotero installed, libraries requiring write-back to Zotero, or teams needing cloud-only Zotero Web API browsing without fulltext.
What you get
Queries return ranked library hits or numbered fulltext paragraphs with paging metadata, grounded in your local Zotero index and attachments.
