Keys and settings

The registry record declares a secret value (a key or token) that is not marked required. Declared by the publisher:

  • ZOTERO_LOCAL (environment variable, not marked required): Read from the local Zotero desktop app instead of the web API. Requires Zotero 7+ with the local API enabled in Settings > Advanced.
  • ZOTERO_API_KEY (environment variable, secret, not marked required): Zotero Web API key from https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys. Only needed when ZOTERO_LOCAL is false, or for write operations in hybrid mode.
  • ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID (environment variable, not marked required): Zotero user or group library ID. Only needed when ZOTERO_LOCAL is false, or for write operations in hybrid mode.
  • ZOTERO_LIBRARY_TYPE (environment variable, not marked required): Whether ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID refers to a personal or a group library.
  • ZOTERO_MCP_TOOLSETS (environment variable, not marked required): Which optional tool groups to expose, as a comma-separated list. Every tool is sent to the model on each request, so optional capabilities are off by default. U
