连接 Zotero SQLite 数据库的模型上下文协议 (MCP) 服务器

概述

ZoteroBridge 是一个模型上下文协议 (MCP) 服务器，可直接连接到 Zotero 的 SQLite 数据库 (zotero.sqlite)，让 AI 助手（如 Claude、ChatGPT、GitHub Copilot 等）能够与您的 Zotero 文献库进行交互。

主要特性

🗂️ 文件夹管理 - 创建、重命名、移动和删除 Zotero 文件夹（集合）
🏷️ 标签管理 - 为文献添加、删除和查询标签
📖 条目操作 - 搜索条目、获取详情、管理文件夹关系
📝 内容管理 - 读取/设置摘要，添加笔记
📄 PDF 处理 - 提取全文、生成摘要、全文搜索、获取标注
🔍 标识符搜索 - 通过 DOI、ISBN、PMID、arXiv、URL 查找文献
🔗 相关条目 - 查找手动关联、共享标签/作者的相似文献
🛠️ 库维护 - 查找重复项、验证附件、清理孤立记录、合并条目

更新日志

v1.1.5 (2026-02-01)

🗑️ 回收站识别功能

# 构建项目
npm run build

配置 AI 客户端

Claude Desktop

添加到 Claude Desktop 配置文件：

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zotero-bridge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "zotero-bridge"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

如果从源码构建：

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zotero-bridge": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/ZoteroBridge/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Cursor IDE

在项目根目录创建 .cursor/mcp.json：

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zotero-bridge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "zotero-bridge"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code Copilot

    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "zotero-bridge"]
  }
}

自定义数据库路径

如果您的 Zotero 数据库不在默认位置：

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zotero-bridge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "zotero-bridge", "--db", "D:/MyZotero/zotero.sqlite"]
    }
  }
}
