Unattended configuration

The MCP host launches a local server process that continuously connects either to a running local Zotero application or to the Zotero Web API.

Authentication and prerequisites

Web API mode requires a Zotero API key and library ID; local mode instead requires the Zotero application to be running with local API access enabled.
