Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect Zotero to my app?
Use Weavz Hosted Connect for API Key authentication. Install the SDK, create a connection through the connect portal or API, then execute tools programmatically.
What tools does Zotero support?
Zotero supports 8 tools including List Items, Get Item, Create Items, Update Item, Delete Item, and more.
Can I use Zotero with AI agents?
Yes. Add Zotero to an MCP server in Tool Mode or Code Mode. Code Mode provides 3 meta-tools with on-demand API discovery so agents can compose stateful workflows without loading every action schema up front.
How do I connect Zotero to ChatGPT or Claude?
Open the Weavz connector setup, sign in, choose a workspace, and add Zotero as an approved app. ChatGPT, Claude, and other remote MCP clients can then call the scoped Zotero tools exposed by that workspace.
Does Zotero work with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and local agents?
Yes. Remote and local MCP clients can connect to a Weavz MCP endpoint for the workspace. Local coding agents can also use the Weavz CLI to inspect apps, discover actions, run approved Zotero work, and execute Code Mode workflows from a terminal.
What can I ask an AI agent to do with Zotero?
Zotero exposes 8 tools, including List Items, Get Item, Create Items, Update Item, Delete Item, and more. Use Weavz to keep credentials scoped, require approval for sensitive work, and audit what the agent did.
Can Zotero be used in stateful agent workflows?
Yes. Agents can combine Zotero tools with Filesystem, State KV, Human Gates, input partials, and other workspace integrations while keeping execution scoped to the selected workspace or end user.
What authentication does Zotero use?
Zotero uses API Key. Weavz stores credentials securely and uses them for authorized action execution.
