cli-anything-zotero

cli-anything-zotero is an agent-native CLI for Zotero desktop. It does not reimplement Zotero. Instead, it composes Zotero's real local surfaces:

Installation

pip install -e .

Entry Points

cli-anything-zotero
python -m cli_anything.zotero

Important Constraints

  • search items, item export, item citation, and item bibliography require Zotero's Local API to be enabled.
  • note add depends on the live Zotero GUI context and expects the same library to be selected in the app.
  • Import-time PDF attachment support is limited to items created in the same connector session; arbitrary existing-item attachment upload is still out of scope.
  • Experimental SQLite write commands are local-only, user-library-only, and should be treated as non-stable power-user operations.
  • If a bare key is duplicated across libraries, set session use-library <id> before follow-up commands.
