Supercharge Your Research

17 tools at your fingertips, accessible through natural language conversations with your favorite AI assistant.

Smart Search

Search your library with natural language. Find papers by topic, author, year, or even content from PDFs.

Easy Adding

Describe a reference and your assistant fills in the fields—author, year, journal, DOI—and files it in your library. No form to type.

Smart Organization

Create collections, add tags, and organize your library with simple conversational commands.

Citation Export

Export in APA, Chicago, MLA or IEEE, as BibTeX, RIS, CSL JSON or plain JSON. Ready for your thesis or paper.

Group Libraries

Access shared Zotero groups for collaborative research. Switch between personal and group libraries.

Secure & Private

Your API keys are encrypted. We never store your Zotero content—all operations go directly to Zotero API.

Get Started in Minutes

Four steps, all on one page. Your progress is saved on our side, so you can leave and come back.

1

Sign in with Google

Quick and secure authentication. No new passwords to remember.

2

Let your AI set it up

Copy one prompt into Claude, ChatGPT or whichever assistant you want to connect. It reads our public setup docs and walks you through the rest.

3

Connect your Zotero

Paste an API key you create on Zotero's own site. It is encrypted before it is stored, and we never keep your library content.

4

Start using it

Claude and ChatGPT connect in one click, with no token to handle. For Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code or Codex we create a token when you ask for it, beside the exact line to paste.
