zotero-mcp-serverPublisher documentation and Python manifest were reviewed. Authentication is mode-dependent: local reads use Zotero's local API, local writes use one-time user authorization, and older web writes use Zotero API credentials. The package and Zotero connections were not executed or independently security-audited.

Source ↗ · Checked 2026-09-18Python 3.10+ local stdio server launched by the zotero-mcp console command; local mode reads from Zotero and can use a persistent local authorization for writes.
Source ↗ · Checked 2026-09-18Authentication is classified unknown because it varies by mode: local API enablement for reads, one-time Zotero 10+ local user authorization for writes, or ZOTERO_API_KEY plus ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID for older web API writes.
