Manages Zotero reference libraries using the pyzotero Python client: retrieves, creates, updates, and deletes items, collections, tags, and attachments via the Zotero Web API v3 or local API. Applies when working with Zotero libraries programmatically, managing bibliographic references, exporting citations, searching library contents, uploading PDF attachments, or building research automation workflows that integrate with Zotero.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Pyzotero Pyzotero is a Python wrapper for the [Zotero API v3](https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/web_api/v3/start). Use it to programmatically manage Zotero libraries: read items and collections, create and update references, upload attachments, manage tags, and export citations. **Reviewed target:** [pyzotero 1.15.2](https://pypi.org/project/pyzotero/1.15.2/) on 2026-09-30. Checked official [SDK documentation](https://pyzotero.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), release source, and [Web API contracts](https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/web_api/v3/basics). Examples requiring a private library or running Zotero are illustrative; read-only public probes and isolated SDK contract checks do not establish authenticated write success. ## Authentication Setup **For remote private reads and writes**, get credentials from https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys: - **User ID**: shown as "Your userID for use in API calls" - **API Key**: create at https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys/new - **Library ID**: for group libraries, the integer after `/groups/` in the group URL Store credentials in environment variables or a `.env` file: ``` ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID=your_user_id ZOTERO_API_KEY=your_api_key …

How to install
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/pyzotero@sha256:82dec36c7294674fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
