zotero-agent

Cursor

Add zotero-agent to .cursor/mcp.json (per-project) or the global equivalent:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zotero-agent": { "command": "zot", "args": ["mcp"] }
  }
}

Install the MCP extra first:

Terminal window
uv tool install "zotero-agent[mcp]"   # or: pipx install "zotero-agent[mcp]"
# a Homebrew install already includes it: brew install alex-roc/tap/zotero-agent
zot init && zot ping                   # confirm the bridge is answering

If zot is not on Cursor’s PATH, use the absolute path from which zot.

See the MCP overview for the tool list and safety notes.
